Framed Gingerbread House

When I spotted the Merry Monday challenge #264 (kraft and red), I knew it would be a perfect excuse to pull out last year's Candycane Lane Designer Series Papers. For the main image, I simply handcut one of the gingerbread houses from one of the sheets of paper, added an enamel heart of it and popped it up over a die-cut frame. The background Expresso cardstock was embossed with the Softly Falling embossing folder. The stitched frame inspired me to stamp my sentiment around it. I was first thinking I would repeat the same sentiment on all three sides, but then I found in the Festival of Trees stamp set and small sentiment in two parts that was perfect to stamp on two sides - just the perfect look and size.

Inspired by the Fusion sketch, I also handcut lace from another sheet of paper and added little pearls to it, and a stitched ribbon on top. Overall, it was a fairly simple design, but it turned out cute!
