Gingey

Welcome to another Merry Monday challenge!  This week, Kristie has challenged us to use a gingerbread man or woman on our cards.  Check out the adorable inspiration photo:



Whenever I think of gingerbread men, I think of the Shrek movies.  Love those movies!  

  
For my card, I used a Crumb Cake card base embossed down each side with the Needlepoint Embossing Folder.  The DSP is from a retired pack called Christmas Cocoa.  My gingerbread man is from the Scentsational Season set and clear embossed in Crumb Cake ink.  I then colored in the buttons and squiggles with markers.  My sentiment, which I thought pretty appropriate is from the Candyland set by Close to My Heart.

Thanks for looking.  Don't forget to check out the rest of the design team cards - they are amazing, as usual!

Products used:

Stamps:  Scentsational Season (SU), Candyland (CTMH)
Ink:  Versamark, Crumb Cake
Cardstock:  Crumb Cake, Real Red, Christmas Cocoa DSP
Accessories:  Hero Arts White EP, Circle Nestabilities, Holiday Collection Framelits, American Crafts Twine, Needlepoint EF (SU), Brights markers

Cheers
Karren

Fabulous card Karren, I love the papers and colours you used.

Ahh, that DSP is an old favorite! Gingerbread men make me think of the Shrek movies too and the time that a mouse climbed into my Christmas tree and ate the gingerbread men I had hanging there!

Hi Karren, I hope you are remaining dry in dear old Ch-Ch...what next ehh?? :-( I love your card, I nearly missed the XXXXX embossing, lovely. Fabulous sentiment to suit the theme too. Take care.
