Christmas Card with Di's Digi Stamps Poinsettia Mistie Digi Stamp

Christmas card with Di's Digi Stamps Poinsettia Mistie digital stamp, colored with Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils, by Paperesse.

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.

I'm linking up with the following challenges: Krafty Chicks #742 – Christmas, Creative Inspiration #20 – ATG, Craft Rocket #120 – Christmas and/or Winter, As You Like It 14/11 – Favorite Embellishment and Why (These ric-rac and border stip dies are my favorite embellishments anymore instead of ribbon because they're lighter in weight, glue flat, are less expensive and take up less space in my craft room. The brad 'dots' are also a favorite; they add a bit of bling without being too much.), Little Red Wagon #782 – Wintertime, Digi Chooseday Wk 45 – ATG, Kleuren Met Potloden November – ATG, and Crafty Gals Corner #261 – ATG/opt 3+ layers.
