A Vintage Christmas - Yummy Gingerbread

 A Vintage Christmas




For this card I wanted a vintage feel but still with the cuteness of using one half of the duo from Polkadoodle's 
I coloured her using various browns from Promarkers, Copics and Ohuhu Brush Markers
I made the poinsettia flowers and leaves from foamiran, inked in brown and cut from 
The backing papers are from Polkadoodles
I attached brown string and a couple of flatback wooden embellishments
I inked up the edges using brown ink and attached to a 5x7 kraft card
