Gingerbread Christmas

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing a fun Christmas card featuring an older stamp set by The Greeting Farm.

This sweet gingerbread couple is from the Gingerbread Christmas clear stamp set.  I can't find this stamp on their website so I'm assuming it's been retired or maybe it's just currently sold out.  I embossed a 4.25" x 5.5" panel of white card stock with a big dot embossing folder but the embossing doesn't really show well in the photo.  I used a Spellbinders' die to cut the dome shape, inked it with Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide Ink, and splattered it with thinned white gouache.  I die cut a snow bank and a red bow and adhered them to the dome.  I glued the dome to my card an added a few die cut snowflakes.  I colored the gingerbread with copics, fussy-cut them, and adhered them with foam tape.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a fabulous day!

Hugs, Anita
