Go to the link for Colour Dare #423 and add your entry. When you submit your entry you must provide a link to your post, not just to your blog in general. There are LOTS of ways to enter either a Blog Post or post to an online gallery (Facebook, Pinterest, SplitCoast Stampers, or Instagram).
I needed some quick Christmas cards to go out with
my "Vandra's Online Card kits" for Jingle Joy this week. (see below). These are non-traditional cards so better belong in the category for Colour Dare Challenge for #424 which is the non-traditional colours challenge. Both of these challenges are running so make sure you enter both!

Vandra's online card club Jingle Joy Kits - December 2020
|
To make some quick cards I pulled out my Jingle Joy Die-cuts and some older style heart paper (black & White). I added some green ribbon from my stash to the die-cut Holly Jolly tag and used thin 3D foam tape to lift the tag so the ribbon sat flat (not raised up). The black and white heart paper is very similar to the
Jingle Joy Paper Packet hearts but I had used most of this in my kits so did some stash busting and used an older style paper. You could recreate this card using jingle joy!
To finish off the card I cut out a Gnome for Christmas Stamp + Thin Cuts
using my bigshot and had fun colouring him in with my Tri-blend markers, green, red and golden yellow for the star (and skin colour for the face). I'm still learning how to do the blending colouring but I was pretty happy with how he turned out. These Gnomes are so cool! I love the funny puns.
My final card is simple, yet effective and a simple quick card is perfect when you need lots of cards fast! The
Jingle Joy Die-cuts are perfect for quick, fast and effective cards.

Fun Christmas cards. Love the selection of papers used for both your non-traditional and traditional. Love gnomes.
ReplyDeleteI really like the simplicity of your card Vandra. Brilliant colouring as always and I also love a tag on a card! X
ReplyDeleteI love the subtle background, allowing your cute gnome to stand out.
ReplyDeleteOh, how sweet. I love that little gnome and you added just enough to your card.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pairing of the gnome with the heart paper. I love the simple look and you nailed it on this card.
