We would like to see a bell (or bells) on your CAS designs.
Quick and easy card to make. I stamped the image in permanent black ink and watercoloured with distress inks. Added some crystal glaze to the berries and wink'd the ribbon. Stamped a fun sentiment to finish. I was smiling the whole time I was colouring this. :)

You have always done a magnificent job with water coloring but this is over the top perfect! I thought for sure it was markers with your gorgeous shading! I too took a shine to the gnomes this year. Aren't those guys fun? Love this card!
Had to chuckle when I actually read your post Loll, because all I noticed when I first looked at your card was the BRIGHT colors...I never even noticed the gnomes!! And there's two of them! Absolutely ADORABLE card and beautifully colored too...and those gnomes just couldn't be any sweeter hanging on those bells! I can definitely see why you were smiling while working on this card...I would have been too!! Hugs. :0)
Oh how I love your gnomes ringing the bright beautiful bells - at first I thought it was holly hanging down - then my eyes focused and I saw him! (and the other one on top!) what a fun and festive stamp! xx
OMG, Gnomies on bells...these are fantastic!!! I love this whole image, I have a little collection going on in my own home...you know gnomes bring good luck, right? Adorable, I might have to get these, Loll! Heart Hugs, col
They are so adorable Loll and amazing colouring, My stamps only just arrived I can't wait to ink them up (awesome sale)
At first I thought - nice pair of bells, beautifully colored - then I saw the gnomes. How ADORABLE!! Great coloring there too, Loll - anyway, this one really made me smile!!
There's REASON to smile with these cuties! Very adorable, Loll
I smiled as soon as I saw your adorable and colorful bells and gnomes Christmas card, Lolly. This would be a fun design to do multiples:-) TFS Love and Hugs..Nancy

Love this image Loll and it is watercolored with perfection. I didn't notice the gnomes at first and had to look again. Lol. Hope all is well with you. Hugs.

Cute cute cute Loll. Gorgeous gnomes and love the bright colours and sparkle.
What a delightful and cute Jingle Gnomes card, Loll! The bright colors, the shine from the crystal glaze, and the adorable gnomes generate so much fun feeling! Adding the gray pencil lines to the image is a wonderful idea.
I'm so happy to be in the CAS family and be on the team with the sweet and talented Designers! Thank you again for creating and organizing the wonderful CAS challenges, my friend!

Vibrant, shimmery and so fun, Loll ... these little gnomes are adorable playing on these festive jingle bells! Hugs, Anita :)
Those little gnomes hanging onto the bells are so cute, Loll, and I can even see the shimmer on the ribbon.
This is so stinkin' cute, Lolly, with those goofy gnomes nestled in the bells! I can see why you were smiling the whole time and I love the bright and festive colors you used, all winked up!! Keep staying safe and thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Dolly

Finally catching up with commenting! Too busy gardening and riding! I love your card - such wonderful vibrant colours. And what an adorable image with the tiny gnomes - no wonder you couldn't resist it!
Your NBUS stamp is so pretty, Loll!
You are amazing with the water colouring...it looks great.
This card is so joyful with its colors. Sweet gnomes cleverly hide behind bell elements. Great design.
