Inkspirations 51 - Gingerbread Man 2010

Hello again,

its not often I post twice in one day but I managed to get my card finished for this weeks Inkspiration challenge. So what challenge did Keesh set this week - ahh a nice sketch. Here it is.


I couldn't resist turning to a very cute gingerbread man stamp. That led me to think Soft Suede - its actually a very gingerbready colour! After scrouging around my DSP collection I settled on Sweet Slumber as I thought the warm - yet Christmassy colours suited my gingerbread man. So here he is.



I started with a Riding Hood Red base, layered that with a So Saffron mat, then two different DSP patterns as per the sketch. To cover the join (and cause it looks good) I added some dotty Soft Suede grosgrain ribbon (and a bow). My gingerbread man is framed in the circle feature of the sketch, stamped in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla, then layered onto a Riding Hood Red scalloped circle mat. I added a couple of RHR buttons to finish the gingerbread man off and then mounted the circle panel up on dimensionals. The last thing to add was the sentiment - using a couple of stamped jewelery tags threaded through the Soft Suede bow. The inside was finished off simply to match.

I was quite happy with this turned out - I could almost describe it as tasty ;)(Ok may'be if you were a caterpillar)

Thanks for visiting,
Kim
