Sweet Holiday Greetings Gingerbread Man

Hello, everybody!  Today I am sharing a gingerbread man card!  Gingers are my favourite holiday icon!  This adorable image is a freebie from Scribbles Designs called Gingerbread Man (thank you, Sandy!).  I coloured him with markers, added a few details with a white paint pen, and fussy-cut so I could pop him up on foam tape.  

Did you notice how I coloured his hat pompom as a tiny gingerbread man?  This is such a cute and fun image!


The white panel was die-cut with Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circles and I added patterned paper (Cosmo Cricket) behind the circle.   I stamped the greeting (Your Next Stamp) in red and layered the white panel on a red panel.  To finish the card, I adhered three tiny peppermint candy embellishments.

My card design was inspired by Sketch 679 at Tuesday Morning Sketches but I used a circle instead of an oval.


I was also inspired by the following challenges:

You have brought that darling little gingerbread man to life with the subtle, warm color, KT. I can smell the warm spices all the way down here in Florida! Those peppermint candies are the cutest embellies ever! I've never seen them before, and what a great addition they are!
