I decided last minute to join in with today’s challenge because I had seen so many lovely cards being shared on the group (please do check out the Facebook group!) … and I only had one idea with the prompt ‘gingerbread dream’ and that was to make the background from the little die cut gingerbread men! Didn’t think about how fiddly this would be when I started!
But look it turned out great!
I did video the process (don’t worry it’s in fast forward as it took ages to actually make the card!)
I added lots of splatters using gesso and then added the die cut frame, vellum circle and the Kraft circle for the sentiment – with a bit of dimension with the vellum raised up on adhesive foam.
The finishing touch was the little crumb cake hearts – and also a final gingerbread man inside the card (I forgot the photo of that!)
The sentiment die cut I think is exactly the right one for this card as this many gingerbread men would definitely bring me joy!
Happy crafting!
