Recipe For A Merry Christmas!

I know it's been a while since DRS Designs released their new Holiday images for this year & that I've posted using this cute little Gingerbread Man before, but he's definitely one of my favorites!

I've paired him with DRS Designs Christmas Recipe sentiment on this card. I think it's appropriate since recipes, baking, and the holidays all go hand in hand!

I colored the image with Copic & Bic markers and stamped the sentiment with SU! Real Red ink. All of the wording on this card is all one sentiment. I cut my unmounted stamp in two so that I could stamp "Recipe For A Merry Christmas" at the top of my card without worrying about inking up the bottom by accident & ruining my project. If you're a regular follower of my blog, then you've probably noticed that I've been doing this a lot lately. I guarantee it won't be the last either! I've realized that I tend to use my sentiments stamps more often when I split them up like this--they instantly become more versatile!

Here's a close up of the sentiment. Makes for a wonderful holiday card, doesn't it?
