I started with Our Daily Bread Designs new Blessings set and paired it with Memory Box Tinsel Paper. The question is.... Is it a Christmas card or just a praise card? I don't really know myself as I was listening to Christmas music and singing the Doxology. Perhaps it's a new card category... Christmas Fusion. (wink) The paper was a little bright for the lace so I toned it down with Ranger Distress Inks Bundled Sage and Old Paper. Adding that combination again to the sentiment and popping it up onto a bed of pearls created a focal. Finally, placing a snowflake and bird sticker completed my "Christmas Fusion".
Today's Blessing: This blessing is not mine directly but of Our Daily Bread Designs. Below is a copy of the announcement that was on the ODBD blog at Thanksgiving. May God continue to bless this company!!!

Such a lovely card! Not sure what I like best - the colour (yes), the bling (yes!), that scrumptious velour ribbon (yes! yes!), or that fabulous MA lace (sigh - OK, I LOVE it all!) :-)
Beautiful - I love the antique-y look with the lace and pearls!
This is so pretty in these colors and it could go either way -- Christmas or otherwise!
Randi this is stunning girl! Down to the beautiful lace and the gorgeous ribbon and bow.
Gorgeous card Randi. Love how you placed the dove right at the beginning of the trail of pearls, great flight effect. I also love the softness of the green that you chose.
What a beautiful design - this particular shade of green is so unexpected, and I love your additions of lace and the snowflake and bird! Beautifully done!
WOW!! The colors are beautiful and so feminine. Love it.

I love the crocheted ribbons and the pearls. Beautiful card.
Love what you did to blend the papers. Great card!
Praying that you are doing well and God is continuing to give you strength. My husband was just diagnosed with cancer, I've been free from cancer for 12 years now so we know what you are going through. So good to know that we have a God who is there with us no matter the outcome and that he is good no matter the circumstances.
Breathtaking!!! Love, love, love the colors!!! Praising God is a wonderful sentiment for a Christmas card!

Beautiful work, Randi! Gorgeous!
Your design is so lovely, soft and feminine. Love the pearls.
Stunning Randi! These colors are so adaptable to any occasion. Love the 'Fusion' idea.
Beautiful card. Love the Labels Six frame and all the colors.
Such a lovely card with so many delicate aspects. And the sentiment is just wonderful!
Very detailed and lovely cards. Love all the little details you added, the snowflake, the bird then that little show of red around the edge. hop.....hop.....
Yes, Praise Him!! Just beautiful!! My favorite Christmas memory is coming home to Tennessee from Chicago to spend Christmas at my Granny's. Her home was always full of love, laughter and wonderful smells coming from the kitchen.
Wow! Beautiful Thank you so mcuh
Love the color pallete of this card. Thanks for sharing
What a gorgeous card...so soft and beautiful with the pearls and lace. Love it!
love the "Christmas Fusion" soft and pretty. Beautiful project. My greatest Christmas Memory is the first Christmas without my Mother. I was only 6 years old. With Mom dying in November and Christmas being the next month, sure we were sad, but my Dad, being the father that he was, did all he could do to make sure his 4 girls were happy. We didn't have a lot of money, but that's not what Christmas is all about. All we wanted for Christmas was the doll house fully furnished, that we saw in the Sears Catalog and Only the doll house and we had to share it, but my sisters and I to this day (now 50 years ago) remember how special that Christmas was.
Hello Randi: Your card is very elegant and enriching! It would surely be a blessing to anyone who would receive it! Thank you for sharing. Marie
Exquisite details with the pearls and doves. So soft and dainty looking. Great job!
That dove seems to just float on the card, around my one of my favorite scripture verses. Love the color...ove the whole card! My favorite Christmas memory is opening up gifts late Christmas Eve and then jumping into the car Christmas morning for the long trip to Grandma's house...loved her to pieces and those are precious memories.
Beautiful, Randi! Love the soft minty green. The ribbon, lace and pearls are just gorgeous. Wonderful card!
So elegant!!! Beautiful job on the colors and layout. Thank you for sharing this jewel.
Randi, your card has so many great elements. Between the soft shade of the green, the pearls, the wonderful ribbon, the snowflake, and my personal favorite, the dove, this card has it all. Wonderful design. Hugs, deb
Lovely card. I love putting lace on cards.
Your Sister in Christ

Gorgeous, I love how you bring everything together. Thank you.
Wow, another very pretty card. The soft color is great and I love the little bird! Thanks for sharing with us.
It is wonderful to see that these cards are all so beautiful. I would have a very difficult time to choose only one, that is why I will save them all!!
The verse on this card is so true. I want to thank ODBD for producing such beautiful verses that express God's love for us. When we have troubles that we can't seem to handle God is there to carry us through it.
Thank you so much for your products.
God's blessings to you all,
Lucy
Awesome, awesome!!!! Love the pearls, and the bird and the Doxology stamp!!! Everything is so beautiful! TFS!
Hugs,
Joni

Randi....Your lovely card is so elegant. I love the extra touches of the dove, that directs your eye back to the praise verse, the lace and the snowflake just add to the overall charm. You are in my prayers, I hope you and your family will be blessed this holiday season as we celebrate our Lord's birth.

What an awesome card - it can be used for ANY reason but I love your Christmas Fusion term!!! I love the colors and the small pop of red as the frame really sets it all off. The bed of pearls and other touches really make this a stunning card anyone would love to receive! TFS.
I would use this card anytime of the year would make a great Easter card, birthday card any day card and many many more.
I love the mem. of driving around town looking at all the lights that were on the houses as a kid that we did it with our own kids and now they do it on their own.
Oh Randi did you make this with me in mind? These are my favorite colors and to add a hint of red wow. Love this card. I already am missing "working" with you.

The pearls are a great idea!!! Love the softness of the card!!!
Very beautiful! Love the soft colors, the velvet ribbon, the lace-- everything about it! Thanks for the inspiration!
Such a pretty card! My favourite Christmas memory ...difficult question as many to choose from. One favourite, my Dad set up the card table in front of our beautifully decorated Christmas tree, and we had homemade meat pie followed by Christmas pudding or cookies (cookies were my choice as I don't like pudding). After, we would head off to church for the service where many Christmas hymns were sung -- my favourite, Silent Night.
Beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing it with us.
What a beautiful way to use all those pearls!! The DT has just wowed me completely with these fabulous cards and projects. I'm a big fan!!

Absolutely stunning card Randi! Its so soft and pretty. The lace and the snowflake are lovely, the pearls really add lovliness to it, but the verse says it all! Thanks for sharing this awesome card with all of us!
I like the new card category, Randi!!! I was thinking, 'a spring'ish card, but no a Christmas card'. That layer of red made it Christmas for me somehow. Then as I read your post I started to laugh, 'cause I was thinking just what you ended up with, a whole new category. Love the pearls, ribbon and lace together.
Randi, this just so loovely
A beautiful, beautiful card! Worthy of the sentiment.
Beautiful card! I love that lace.
Truly beautiful Randi.
My favorite Christmas memory is hand knitted sweaters. My Mother often made all of us a beautiful new sweater for Christmas. I'm sure it took her months to get them all done. I wish I still had them.
Beautiful combination of everything on your card...makes me take a big breath because of the beauty!
Outstanding work! TFS

You've created such a fabulous card! I love the colors, the die shape, the velvet ribbon, and those embellishments are just the perfect finish.
this is such a beautiful card and versatile. it would be a wonderful Easter card too. one of my memorable Christmases happened 18yrs. ago. our daughter was diagnosed on Christmas eve with a malignant brain tumor. she had been getting very ill every morning for about a month. the drs. put her on a steroid to help reduce the brain swelling. the next day, Christmas, was the first time she had not thrown up all morning. two days later she went into the hospital for surgery and didn't come home for two mos. we didn't take our tree down 'til she came home. it was definitely a crispy tree by that time. my daughter is now an 18yr. cancer survivor. michelle frasher

I think this card falls under the category of "Loving God!"
