Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Monday! It's mid-month inspiration time at the Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge and it's all about Christmas Time. Before I get to my card, I want to announce that sadly, this is the last mid-month inspiration post and last challenge at the Jan's Digi Stamps Challenge Blog. Jan is retiring and closing shop, her on-line shop will remain open until the end of April 2024, the current challenge runs through the 31st of December 2023.
My card today features an older set - Magic of the Season. I like the simplicity of the set and it makes a quick holiday card. The sentiment is part of the set also.
I've colored the image using Prismacolor Pencils, the patterned paper is from the "Tis the Season" 6x6 paper pad by Bo Bunny. I used a corner punch for a bit of visual interest on the panels and added Crystal Stickles on the stars and berries, along with Wink of Stella on the hat band and bell. Hopefully all the sparkle shows in the picture below.
Fabulous image and colouring and a lovely layered design.

I love the card. I have this image. I believe it was one of the first that I bought from Jan. I am sad to read that she is retiring but pleased to have had the opportunity to have purchased her great images.
