I love red and white gingham on Christmas cards. I thought it would be fun to create an all white background and pop up a gingerbread boy with some greenery, a candy cane and gingham. It's a whimsical little image and he is set off perfectly with the simple embellishment. All the white trim on the gingerbread was painted with white craft ink and embossed with white powder.

You picked up the gingham from that vintage apron perfectly in this sweet (and yummy) Christmas card. How wonderful
