It's our final challenge for the month and it also happens to be our fifth week. That means it's time for a Pick-A-Previous theme.For her final stint as hostess, Patricia wants us to play with a Previous Colour Combo. It can be from this year or from any of our past challenges. Just go through our Color Combos Archive and take your pick.
I went way back in the annals history to September 2012. It seems like a life time ago. I picked this combo for 2 reasons:
1. I couldn't say NO to those yummy gingerbread men; and
Back then I never imagined that one day I'd be on the team with these super talented ladies. I remember squealing down the telephone to my husband with the news. He was my BIGGEST fan then ... and still is.
Anyways, enough gushing. Here is my creation for 2014.
 |
| I'm using all Waltzing Mouse stamps for this card. The greeting is from Say It Loud- Winter Holiday. I stamped Christmas with VersaColor Scarlet and Yummy Wishes with Memento Rich Cocoa. |
 |
| The basket and gingerbread men are from WMS Bountiful Basket Additions. I coloured with Graph It markers and tied some red and white twine. There's also a solitary red bling... can you spot it? For cutting and layering I used SB Circle and Scalloped Circle dies. I embossed the white circle with the Swiss Dots folder ans inked the edge with TH Vintage Photo. |
 |
| I stamped random stars from the A Cottage Christmas set with VersaColor Cocoa. Christmas isn't complete without stars ... or gingerbread men. I inked the edges very lightly with TH Barn Door. |
 |
| The sentiment is also from the A Cottage Christmas set, stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa. |
