Sweet Holiday Wishes

Hello All,

 I'm so happy to share today's card with you.  It has been on my "To Make List" for a long long time.   The gingerbread house is an ancient Stampin Up stamp set.   I think I have had it for almost 13 years.  It was current back in 2000.  Magnolia released "Tilda Gingerbread" several years ago and I immediately thought of pairing them together.   However,  as I'm sure you can relate.... life gets busy.   I love when ideas get out of my head and come to life.

 This card is a little tricky because Tilda is actually taller than the Gingerbread house.   To create the illusion that she is standing in front of the house, I masked Tilda then stamped the house behind her.  

 Little Details:  I used a Stardust glitter pen to add some sparkle to the gumdrops.  I tried to mimic the sugar the covers them.   On the snow that covers the roof and chimney, I added white flock.  It is a lot of fun to touch, but doesn't show up very well in any of the photos.
