Gingerbread

I have another Christmas card for you today, and I think it turned out super cute!
The card is 4 1/2"x6 1/4."  I used white cardstock for the base.  I cut a brown mat at 4 1/4"x6," then cut some red argyle paper at 4 1/8"x5 7/8." 
 
The three gingerbread people are from Smiley Cards.  They are all cut at 2."  I gave them adorable little faces, all three stamps from Peachy Keen, the "Winter Face Assortment."  I added some brown chalk to the little girl gingerbread's cheeks and gave her some freckles with a white gel pen.  I used black pearls for their buttons.  I added glossy accents to the eyes, noses, and hearts on their faces.  I also added some x-mas red Stickles to their bows.  The little girl gingerbread was adhered the card with foam tape.
 
I cut a strip of brown cardstock at 7/8"x5 7/8."  I cut a white strip of cardstock at 3/4"x5 7/8."  I adhered them to the card and stamped my sentiment on the strip.  I tied a bow from three pieces of cappuccino twine, from The Twinery.
 
I made this card for the following challenges:
