Sweet November Preview - Gingy Day 1

***This is my second post for the day. Scroll down for another C.C. Designs preview.***

Welcome to day one of three October previews days featuring Sweet November for C.C. Designs Rubber Stamps. Gingy is a set of five gingerbread men (or women). I had some fun with this set and I think you will too.

I started out by cutting a tag shape from kraft cardstock, stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored with Prismacolor pencils. I cut another larger tag from patterned paper, tying the two together with a bit of cotton twill ribbon. I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder on the rustic white cardstock background which emulated the pattern in the paper used for the border strip. The sentiment came from the also new for this month, C.C. Designs AmyR Joyful Greetings. I added a scattering of Teresa Collins enamel dots, one of which was attached to a kraft circle and popped up with dimensional dots. All the patterned paper came from the Bazzill Basics Nordic Pines pad.

  15. Ok, I don't know if I am just too tired or it my computer hates me. Either way this is my sixth attempt at posting on your card. :O( Anyway my friend I think your card is adorable and I am so loving your tag craze and your enamel dots as well. I just might have to try the whole tag thing, but we both know where that will lead me. LOL... Hope you are having a wonderful week. Hugs, Lisa
