Playing with Gingerbread

 Hello! Welcome to my latest paper projects!  I baked up some Gingerbread items including a card and some tags.  I used a recent purchase from Power Poppy - her Gingerbread Family digital stamps and a sentiment from Chickadee in Barberry set.   I created the above card by printing out the GB House with the GB Couple and Sentiment on white CS and coloring with Copics and adding accents with White and Red Berry Gloss Nuvo Crystal Dots.  Placed this on a Fresh Asparagus Green Mat and a card base of Red Velvet.  Aren't they the cutest Gingerbread Couple?

Above is the first tag that I made with the Gingerbread Man using pretty much the same supplies as the card. The I created another pair of tags shown below.  Love how the Crystal drops look like icing. Fun to make!  Tags finished with Eyelets and Baker Twine for tying and mats of Red CS.

Another Lighthouse

Hello!  I have not seen many lighthouses in person but I enjoy the different shapes and designs.   I came across this Just For Fun Stamp when I was looking for a Lighthouse stamp and thought I'd use it for another card with this theme.  I won this stamp in 2010...nice to have a post on my blog to remind me of the date.   I tried to color in a way to make the bricks appear to be old.  Used some pattern paper from Graphic 45 pad, yellow CS for base, some red eyelets from stash. Cannot remember the last time I used eyelets on a card. The GKD Sentiment was heat embossed with red EP on clear vellum and cut with label die.  I also used a Spellbinder die for the image.

 Challenges:

Made My Own Background with a Tag

Hello!  I love the bright colors that I used in this Birthday Card and  Tag.  Using GKD Stamps from the Stippled Nature set, I made the background with Memento Rose Bud and Cantaloupe inks....love this combo of colors.  After embossing with a Darice EF Floral Frenzy, I placed the background on a Pink Card Base and attached the tag that I made with the same stamp set and ink colors.  Used a GKD Quicklets Eyelet to make a place to add Rose and Yellow Satin ribbons to the tag.
