Firstly I pulled out the Mix-in Paper Packet (Nov–Dec) and selected the blue stripe with the blue stars on the back as my main paper for the non-traditional colour choices.
Then I cut with my big shot and the thin cut and stamped a Gnome for Christmas gnome, and coloured it with Blue Triblend Marker, grey for the beard and skin colour for the skin.
Then I cut the next thin cuts, Merry Christmas, Christmas bauble and star from the
Jingle Joy—Scrapbooking stamp set and stamped them all in Sapphire Exclusive Inks™ Stamp Pad. The Mix in paper matches the baubles perfectly. I coloured a little bit of blue to match in the gnome blue and the sapphire.
To finish the card off, I adhered the backing, the gnome and the bauble with
Tombow® Permanent Adhesive and then the Merry Christmas and the star were adhered with Thin 3-D Foam Tape.
Great card Vandra. Perfect ‘Blue Christmas’!! And as always I love those gnome stamps. X
