Today, I have for you my Kiwi Lane Gingerbread Man!  It took me a few versions before I came up with my favorite one.

Ingredients:

Kiwi Lane: Traditions 6T, Sincerely 3A & 3B

Authentique Believe 6x6 and components

Die Cuts with a view Christmas ribbon

Queen & Co pearls

Ranger enamel accents white

misc satin ribbon & Craft Dee Bowz tool

pop dots

I thought it might be helpful for you to learn from my mistakes.  I used basically the same materials on this one but the lines with the enamel accents are not quite to my liking.

Ingredients:

Kiwi Lane Traditions 6T, Bracket 4T

Stampin Up Stamp and punch Merry Everything

misc brad

and same papers and embellishments as above

Card #3 was really my first experiment.  I was not happy with the Liquid Pearl accents even when I put the pearl eyes on.  I added the lace to give it more vintage feel.

Ingredients:

Kiwi Lane Traditions 6T, Sincerely 3A & 3B

Stampin Up stamp Festival of Trees

Stampin Up punch

Color Box olive ink

Liquid Pearls White opal

lace

same ingredients as above

These 3 cards are projects #7, 8 & 9 with the 6x6 Authentique Believe paper pad
