It's time for a new challenge at Merry Monday and I hope you'll play along with us this week! Here's our inspiration photo and challenge details to get you started!
I have no gingerbread stamps in my stash, but found a cute gingerbread girl on a piece of designer paper in my collection of Christmas papers. The gumdrops and pink peppermint were cut from the same paper as the gingerbread girl and everything was popped up with dimensionals to add more visual interest. I added a touch of sparkle to the gingerbread girl's cheeks and stamped the sentiment in bright colors to complement the patterned paper and candy embellishments. I really like how it turned out and I hope you do too!
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted:
Stamps: More Merry Messages
Paper: Coastal Cabana, Whisper White card stock; Christmas Stack (Recollections)
Ink: Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango, Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers
Tools: 3/16" Corner Punch, Paper Snips
Extras: Stampin' Dimensionals, Tombow Multi Purpose Adhesive, Dazzling Details
I just love those fun colours Margaret - adorable!!
