My Christmas card stash is not quite as full as I'd like to have it right now, so I'm glad to have this one featuring the Poinsettia Mistie digi from Di's Digi Stamps done and added to it. I think I have a thing for Di's poinsettia digis; I've used her Poinsettia Mouse digi twice: once in pencil here and with alcohol markers here.
Just an aside, but it's been almost a year since I quit using Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers and went back to my Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils. I can honestly say, I don't miss the markers at all!!! Pencils are easier to maintain, take up less room, are a lot less expensive, and in my case anyway, more relaxing to use.
Paper is from EMF's 333 Sparkling Origami Christmas paper pad. It's dressed up with no-brand border strip die, my favorite ric-rac die, and some velvet brads with the tines cut off. The sentiment was created with Annie BTN font.
