Today’s challenge is “Gingerbread Dream” and the brief is to create a festive card that evokes the sweet, cozy charm of gingerbread.
I have to confess if had to name my favourite Christmas food it would be gingerbread. Literally, any type of gingerbread–German lebkuchen, Dutch speculaas, Swedish pepparkakor, gingerbread men, iced gingerbread biscuits and fully decorated gingerbread houses. I even love plain old Arnotts Ginger Nut Biscuits!
So I couldn’t I just make a card with only one gingerbread item, could I?
I’ve created the biscuit box using the two tackle box dies from the Gone Fishing dies. Die cut Pecan Pie card stock was attached the tackle box base using foam adhesive strips.
A Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blend coloured the inside and the outside edge of the white foam adhesive strips to match the cardstock and create the illusion of a biscuit box
I used the top tackle box die to die cut the tartan DSP to perfectly fit and line the box and then created an assortment of gingerbread using fussy cut images from the A Little Bit Festive DSP.
I also created an extra jam filled gingerbread biscuit made using the Perennial Postage Dies and the star from the Snowy Wonder dies die cutting the jam centre from glimmer paper.
The Garden Green foliage was die cut using Citrus dies and the “Celebrate” sentiment is from the Well Wishes dies.
Many of the elements in the card have had shading added using a sponge dauber.
I’ll hopefully be back tomorrow with another “30 Days of Christmas” Christmas card. I hope you can join me then.
