This is for Sherry and Jeanne's JBWW challenge. I guess I read the challenge correctly, and hope they meant for the DP to be the BG. Anyway, here's my attempt. I bought a gingerbread man cookie cutter, made a reverse mask and sponged in order: Creamy Caramel, Really Rust (trying to leave the belly a little lighter), then the edges with Ranger Vintage Photo (so he looks done). Icing is done with a versamark pen and Seafoam white EP, done twice. Eyes are black brads, nose and bellybuttons are red brads. Then I cut around him leaving a white border, then glued him onto red, cut, then green and cut. I wanted as much of the DP to show as possible. Merry Christmas is an old stamp from Westwater Enterprises, so old it only cost $1.99 (Minnie Pearl left the price tag on). Inside is stamped Wishing You the Happiest Holidays from the Solemn Stillness SU set.
