Colour Theme Gingerbread Men

By
It's Saturday and that must mean it's time for another challenge over at 52 {Christmas} Card Throwdown. This week it's a colour theme and Mynnette has chosen these gorgeous colours for us to play with


I loved the image Mynnette had put with her colours and so I based my card around that - take a look


My card is DL size and has been decorated with stamps from the S'U sets Snow Flurries and Hung up on the Holidays. My gingerbread men have been stamped and then cut out by hand, they were then attached using 3D foam pads.


 My colours are Cream (for the card base), Real Red and Chocolate Chip. I used the Scallop Edge punch to make my border and I added some red ribbon and a bow.
Please pop over and take a look at the other dt cards they are really lovely and I hope you have the time to take part too.
Have a great weekend - see you soon - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
