Gingerbread Boy for Operation Write Home!

Here's another card I made for the Operation Write Home (formerly Cards For Heros) Holiday Card Drive sponsored by DRS Designs.

This Gingerbread image was recently released & I thought it was a perfect match for this sentiment since the Holidays are a popular time for baking. Gingerbread reminds me of an old fashioned Christmas--something about how the spice fills the air when you bake them. Wouldn't you agree?


Here's a close up of the greeting for your reading ease.

Would you believe that this entire greeting is actually all one stamp? That's the beauty of unmounted stamps! It makes splitting up sentiments and stamping them very easy--no worries about getting ink on the opposite part of the stamp & ruining your project. I just cut it right off & Viola! Instantly, I have 2 separate stamps and the versatility lets me use them together or separate like I did here.

This fun little guy was colored with marker. I love the red & brown together--I think it makes for a very elegant looking Christmas card.
