Card: Another "Joy" Christmas Card!

"Joy" seems to be a theme in my Christmas cards this year!  "Bling It On" is the challenge for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week.  I added real German glass glitter to the "Joy" chipboard alphas and there's some bling on the spacer above the dangling pearl.  In order to get just the right color of ribbon I used white Hug Snug and dyed it with Broken China Distress Ink  then added a little bit of Evergreen Chalkboard  Glimmer Mist because it needed some green.  Granite Glimmer mist was then added to made it dusty.
