I created a 3D poinsettia to adorn one corner, but kept most of the card free of embellishments to showcase the pretty designs in the background.
I love the look distressed (and inked) edges give a card. It's been my go-to technique this year!
Giga Guidelines (Papertrey Ink), Distress Oxides (Peeled Paint, Fired Brick, Walnut Stain), Sponge Daubers, Basketweave embossing folder (Darice), Festive Flower Punch (Stampin' Up), Holiday Greens Thinlits (Tim Holtz), Burlap String, Poinsettia stamp (unknown)
