Gingerbread Men

 Hello Everyone. My card today was especially made for a challenge that I came across through reading another blog. I haven't many Gingerbread images, but I do have this from 2006! Never used. Bad girl!

I printed the main image and then edited the image down, in Photoshop, to get 3 on an A4 sheet. Next I did my favourite thing, I don't think! And fussy cut them out, gluing them together and attaching them to the main image. I die cut a blue card to add the main image. These were then attached to the main card. 

I stamped a sentiment and, using the same blue card, layered it. Next, I added 3D glaze to the eyes and clear sparkle pen to the bows and candy cane.
image - PC Hugware, Laurie Furnell (2006)
glaze - Nuvo Crystal Glaze
sparkle pen - Spectrum Noir Clear Sparkle pen 
blue card - Lidl
sentiment - Magazine freebie, Papercrafter Xmas 2022
 
here you can see the sparkle

What a beautiful card Faith, and you have coloured the sweet images beautifully. I don't mind fussy cutting - maybe I'm a bit odd?

I LOVE fussy cutting Faith, not a chore at all to me, as long as it is rather easy going, not too keen on real fiddly bits, and I LOVE your cute and fun gingerbread people, such a happy cute card..
