Slimline Holiday Wreath Door with Gingers

Hello, everyone!  Today I'm sharing a tall slimline card!  This is only the second one I've made in this size (3.5 x 8.5"), so I'm slowly trying different sizes (very slowly LOL).  

I fell in love with this wreath stamp from Your Next Stamp Holiday Wreaths because of the gingerbreads and other holiday cookies!  I coloured the image with markers and fussy-cut so I could pop it up on foam tape.  The sentiment banner is from the same stamp set, and I added some shadows with a light grey marker..

The door is a digital from Stamp On It called Door Border by Eureka Stamps.  I digitally made it a bit wider than the original design to accommodate the wreath but kept the height unchanged.  I printed the door image on kraft cardstock and then coloured it with markers. The red background is upcycled packaging from Dollarama, which I embossed with a brick pattern (Sizzix Texture Fades).  I had to run it through my Cuttlebug twice as the embossing folder is smaller than the red panel.  

I added a handcut snowbank at the bottom of the door and a sweet snowman (Your Next Stamp Snowflake Kisses), which I coloured with markers and fussy-cut so I could pop him up on foam tape.

Here's a close-up of the wreath; those gingers are so cute!

I was inspired by the following challenges:
