I made this card for today's Inspiration Challenge - we are to be inspired by an entry on Angela's (Arizona Maine) Christmas Creations Pinterest board.
I used a piece of digi patterned paper from Stamplorations for my background. I made the bow with the small bow die from Lil Inker Designs. I die cut the snowflaked using Create a Snowflake Nestabilities out of kraft card and sponged it with Archival Orange Blossom Ink to make it look like a baked gingerbread cookie. The greenery was cut with Holiday Greens die from Alterations. I wrapped Stone twine around the 'package' and looped it through the cookie.
Paper: Kraft, Stone - PTI, green - Distress Cordinations, Splotchy Grunge Digi DP - Stamplorations
Paper Size: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Ink: Wendy Vecchi Archival Orange Blossom, Archival Jet Black
Accessories: Dies - Create a Snowflake/Nestabilities, Holiday Greens/Alteratioins, Bow Die Small/Lil Inker Designs, foam dots, stone twine - the Twinery, Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive

WOW you totally got the look of your inspiration piece! I love the idea of a gingerbread snowflake. Is there any way to imitate the smell? What a great card!
