Here is my card. I love the trend of partially covering the card background with a transparent ink layer. I think the secret is letting the white shine through. I then white heat embossed the pink banner, paper pieced a second banner and cut a third from green gingham paper. The circles are from Spellbinders and Lil'Inker. The Poinsettia stamp I used two weeks ago on a MM card. It's a wood stamp from Memory Box called Poinsettia Bloom. This time I white heat embossed it three times on Vellum, then cut out the individual pieces of the flower to form the three layers. The 'Merry' is a Silhouette cut, and the 'Christmas' is computer generated. I finished with a button (backed with a wee black circle to balance the black sentiment), twine and a couple of pearls.

Hi Karen. I missed playing these last weeks but I have my card made already for this week . I will post it late Tuesday .
Your card is beautiful and that pink background is amazing. Nice way to show off that vellum poinsettia . Love the way you added the twine.
I don't think I heard of the feather verse until I bought the stamp set ....or I just didn't remember it. Do you have the stamp ? I could stamp some for you if you don't
