For my card today, I played with one of my favorite all time Christmas set from SugarPea Designs, the GingerSnaps set.
To start, I watercolor a piece of watercolor cardstock with Ranger distress ink. Once it dry, I used it with the Harlequin Cover Plate and adhere all the diamonds to the card base. To make sure they all stay lined up perfectly, I simply use the harlequin frame as my guide.
To create the tag, I used For You Tag. Again, I used watercolor cardstock for this to keep the same soft tone like the background. Adhere to card. Follow by stamping & die cutting the Gingerbread fellas. I couldn't resist this grumpy one. ;) Finish by adding the die cut bow (it comes with the For You Tag dies) and some sequins.

I had never seen this stamp set, but it made me giggle so much. I love it! Plus, the harlequin background is really stunning in design, but also in how you managed to use just the right pastels so it didn't overtake the focal image. Thank you for showing off Sugar Pea so well and sharing your creativity with us!

Everywhere I look on this advent calendar I find some of the cutest stamps or dies ever and this is one of them. Of course it's a die and I don't have a die cutter but if I can get this in a stamp set, this is what I want when I win. It's to cute for words! I love the colors too and the sequins add just the right touch. It's not to many sequins or to little, it's just right. Kind of like the story of the 3 Bears! LOL I would so love to receive this card and to make this card.
Oh my goodness this card is so so cute! I think I need that stamp set now!
