Gingerbread Man Mini - Quick Quotes and Clear Scraps Blog Hop

Hello Quick Quotes friends! Marcia here to host the blog today and I am so excited to share with you my Quick Quotes/Clear Scraps project! This was my first time using Clear Scraps acrylic, but you can bet it will not be the last. I LOVE this stuff!

I am using the Gingerbread Man Clear Scraps Keychain Album along with some Cracklin Rose papers and the perfect vellum quote. To tie in with the quote, I decided to use my Epiphany Crafts heart shaped tool and showcase my family in hearts.

Here is how I created this....   I traced the gingerbread man onto my Cracklin Rose paper and cut him out. Then I inked the edges with Mocha Mama ink. Before I glued it to one side of the acrylic, I inked my gingerbread man with alcohol inks. Some copper metallic gives it a sparkling sheen. I love that you can see the paper through the acrylic. My Imaginsce D-Stress tool helped me clean up the paper edges to line up perfectly with the acrylic. I punched a couple holes so I could attach my vellum quote. The face was stamped with a Peachy Keen stamp in white Staz On, but I wasn't happy with it. I wanted the white to really stand out. I went over it with my white Sharpie fine point paint marker. (This works better is you use the marker on the side that is not inked, Otherwise it mixes with the ink and is more light brown.) Here are a few more pages of my album....
