Simon Says Stamp - The Gingerbread Man Christmas Card

Hello Lovelies! This is my 3rd Gingerbread card of the month and I'm perfectly fine with that. It's not like I have a problem, they're just SO cute! Let's hope that this year's attempt at actual Gingerbread in the kitchen goes as easy as this card .

I don't think that this is my first attempt at coloring an embossed design with alcohol ink markers, but it is definitely the one I had the most fun with. The Gingerbread Man Embossing Folder and Die from Simon Says Stamp is made for smiles. It also gave me the chance to make a subtle rainbow card which another reason to smile.

He looks too yummy to just be paper right?

I was shocked at how clear of an impression I got with this pastel pigment ink!!!

I'm going to need some more of that twine! It will be perfect for many projects.
