Gingerbread Happy Holidays

Happy Monday, peeps!  I have another "sweet treat" card for you today; I was originally going to use this as my Paper Players card for yesterday, but decided to use this for the Jingle Belles' challenge of holiday foods!  I have had this little gingerbread house image for a long, long time and I don't think I've inked it up but once or twice....so now's the time:


I used my Stamparatus to stamp the house in white craft ink on Crumb Cake cardstock; my white ink pad is splotchy on a good day, no matter how many times I re-ink it, so being able to stamp the image several times to get good coverage was wonderful!  I heat-embossed it with white embossing powder and colored it with a variety of SU blends:


I used a white watercolor pencil to color the snow and highlighted it with a Wink of Stella pen!  I used a rectangle stitched die to cut it out and mounted it on some gumdrop DSP.  The sentiment was stamped, embossed and fussy-cut, and I did add a wee bit of shading to give it more of a 3D look:


I just love how this turned out!  Sweet and fun!  Cassidy liked it so much, she wanted to make one too!  She cut her house out and put it on a snowy hill:


I hadn't let her use my blends yet, but she asked me why her house was so "streaky", so the next project she made, I cautiously let her use them!  She did a good job with them, but she has more  color variety with the regular SU markers, so for now, she's still only allowed to use them, LOL!  I love how she colored her tree!!!  All in all, I think this is a pretty cute creation!!  So happy you popped it to visit today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
