Gingerbread Bouquet

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I'm squeaking in at the last minute with this card.


Gingerbread is a staple for our Cookie Day and this gingerbread man stamp
and die is always among my Christmas cards.

The bouquet is new and I had fun coloring and arranging all the pieces.

I stamped the edging with white pigment ink and heat embossed, then used a
stencil to add some cracks in the cookie.

The enamel buttons and black dots were in my stash.  All of the greenery and
candy canes were cut from white Neenah and inked up with finger daubers.

A pierced cover plate provided the background.

Added to add.  I don't need to decide whether to eat the head or feet first.  I claim
all the broken pieces (on the real thing, not the paper version).

Challenges:
Peace on Earth #75 - Inspired by the gingerbread on mood board below
Jingle Belles - Christmas Feast
NBUS #68 - Never Before Used Schtuff ( Spellbinders Dies)

I love your white on kraft gingerbread man Bonnie, and the candy canes and foliage behind him look great and the pinpoint snowflakes coverplate in white makes a brilliant background...a beautiful card. x

Who doesn't love a tasty ginger bread-man - I eat the head first, how about you?

Which part do you bite off first? For me, it's always the feet. lol.
Bonnie, your attention to detail is incredible - 'add some cracks..' as every well-baked Gingerbread man should have!
What a delectable card!

With the fancy edging, I'd say this was a gingerbread girl, Bonnie. So delightful with the wonderful bouquet of greens and candy canes in the background.
