♥ Gingerbread House ♥ TSTR #41

This week's challenge at The Shabby Tea Room is called "Scandinavian Christmas". For my DT sample, I decided to make a "gingerbread house" out of a house shaped cookie tin. I first adhered some My Mind's Eye, Lost and Found paper onto the tin. I then added some white paint and glitter to the paper to give it a "frosty" look. I then added some Creative Imaginations Corrugated Kraft Cardstock for the roof, which I also added some white paint and glitter to it. I also added a Candy Cane as the chimney, ice crystals, punched MS snowflakes, ribbons, Melissa Frances Resin Lock and rub-on, some Jenni Bowlin butterflies drenched in snow glitter, snowflake and pearl trim, punched hearts, Maya Road chipboard heart and swirl, number stickers (my house #), and to finish it off, I added a gingerbread man cookie cutter which I adhered some more kraft cs, punched heart, bow, glitter and Melissa Frances key. (Click on photos for a better view!)

On the back of the tin, is a Gingerbread Man Cookie recipe. I purposely left the back unfinished, so you could see this.

For the card, I used some more kraft corrugated cs as my base, which I painted white and added snow glitter to. The super adorable gingerbread house, is a Digi Stamp from this week's sponsor, Digital Delights by Louby Loo. I colored it in with some Copics, then added more snow glitter and ice crystals to it. I finished off the card, with some ribbon, candy cane, punched snowflakes, piece of white felt, pearls and a rub-on, which I placed directly on the ribbon itself.

We would love for you all to come and play along with this week's challenge at The Shabby Tea Room. The winner will receive a $10 g/c to the Louby Lou store.All the Digi images are super adorable!!
