Challenge #3 - Christmas without red & green!

Hello everyone and welcome to Challenge #3!

Can you believe that we're into November already? Well, you know what that means ... Christmas is only just over 7 weeks away! So with that in mind, I am challenging you to make:

a Christmas card or creation ...
WITHOUT the colours red and green!

There are so many gorgeous non-traditional Christmas papers out there, so I'm sure you won't have any trouble resisting the urge to get out your green and red pens! In fact, over at Your Next Stamp, Karen has a whole host of Christmas crafty stash, including paper, card, buttons, brads, baubles, stamps (of course!), etc. View the complete range by clicking here.

As always, we have 2 fabulous prizes for you to win:

1. The challenge hostess (me!) will choose her favourite card, and that winner will get the YNS Challenge Winner blinkie to proudly display on their blog.

2. We will randomly-choose one challenge entry to receive a YNS stamp set.

Karen has launched some great new limited edition Christmas digi stamps, which you can buy instantly from the YNS store by clicking here, and so the Starlets have used these on their cards and creations for this challenge:

To enter, follow the challenge and use a YNS stamp somewhere on your creation, post it on your blog or in your online gallery, and post the direct link to it using the Mr Linky widget below. (Please do not post a general link to your blog or gallery, as this makes it more difficult for us to find your card - thanks!). If Mr Linky is not working, please post your link in the comments section below, and we will add it for you when the widget is back up and working.

If you are posting your card to your SplitCoastStampers (SCS) gallery, please use the keyword ynsc3 and then post a direct link to it in Mr Linky below.

Entries for challenge 3 close at midnight (EST) on Tuesday 17th November.

Myself and the rest of the Starlets look forward to seeing your creations!

Hugs, Simonne x
