Christmas Card With Di's Digi Stamps Snowy Rooftop Mice Digi

I've got another card for my Christmas/Meilleurs Voeux stash today, featuring Di's Digi Stamps Snowy Rooftop Mice digi. Regular readers might know that I normally I save these French holiday cards 'til last, but I had a few planned at the end of last year I didn't get done – digis printed, paper picked – so I'm working on those first.

I decided to use the same design as this Christmas Pressie Mice card. Black/white background paper is First Edition Black Out paper pad. I have had this paper a long, long time and seldom think to use it. The snowflake circles are Peddy Design paper stack, also a long ago purchase and rarely used.  The digital green paper is from my scrap box, leftover from a long ago project.  The sentiment was created with DJB Coffee Shop Espresso font. Embellishments are wooden snowflakes dressed up with matt enamel dots.

*Crafty Tip* How about a crafty tip? Since it's been a while. This one is courtesy of my crafty buddy Jan from Uh. So This is a Blog. Jan made this super cute New Year's card that I had the honor of receiving IRL. I loved the little black stars on the card and asked Jan where she got them. She told me they were natural wood stars that she colored with a black Sharpie. What an excellent idea! Now maybe you've already thought of this and are doing it, but if not, think about taking a Sharpie to any of your natural wood embellishments you'd like to add color to. I did same with these stars and was so pleased with how they turned out. Thanks, Jan!
