Hello crafty peeps! I'm back on the blog to share my DT card for the {BYSHC} Sketch Challenge, Sketch #42. Here's the sketch:
And here is my card!
Friends, I am having the HARDEST time editing photos taken with my new phone! My set up is the same as it was before, but the new camera just makes my pics look weird! I have no idea what to do to change it, or if I even CAN change it. <sigh>
ANYWAY, I did manage to get a pic of this card edited to my satisfaction. I had way more fun making this card then I did editing the pic! I knew I wanted to use one of these adorable My Creative Time gingerbread die sets, and for this card, I chose the Sweet Gingerbread Companion for the body of my ginger. Since the sketch challenge is also a Christmas card challenge, I used the Sweet Gingers Christmas Add-Ons die set to dress him up. Isn't he just TOO CUTE dressed up like an elf? I am IN LOVE with how he came together! You can barely see it beneath the banner he is holding, but I also die cut the pirate vest from the Sweet Gingerbread Person Costumes #2 die set to add to his outfit.
The pink polka dotted paper is also from My Creative Time and is from the Ginger Chefs 6x6 paper pad. The letters that spell out NOEL on the banner come from one of Emma's newer sets called Prim Hearts & Alpha. Now, the cutie patootie face on the ginger comes from one of the MANY fabulous face sets from the Peachy Keen store, and it's called Rosie's Favorites Faces 1 1/8". How can you not fall in love with a cute face like that? Other supplies used to make this card include:
Pink glitter cardstock - DCWV 6x6 Brights Glitter Cardstock Stack
Scalloped Rectangle - Gina Marie Designs Nested Scalloped Stitched Rectangles
White rectangle layer - Spellbinders A2 Card Creator Set A
Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug/Provo Craft
Diamond Dotz - Frost
Oxide ink - Vintage Photo (ink blended on embossed panel)
Distress Ink - Festive Berries (cheeks)
white gel pen
Pompom - Hobby Lobby
