A little gingerbread man on number nine.
I have seen various gingerbread punch art characters on the internet, but all of them too big for what I wanted, so I designed my own little chap!
I started with a scalloped circle punched out of Soft Suede card.

I attacked the scalloped circle with my Word Window punch. First punching out the bottom scallop, and then punching out on each side of the top scallop - going in a bit further for these two punches.

Next I used my 1 3/8" circle punch to take out three scallops on each side. This creates the body shape with a tab for the head to go on.

I stuck on a 3/4" circle for his head.

I snipped a bow tie shape from a scrap of Real Red card, and added a 1/8" circle in the middle.

Finally I drew in the details using a white gel pen. When the ink was completely dry, I drew in the pupils in with a black marker.

Pure genius....love how you have made the little gingerbread man....would never have guessed it started life as the scallop punch....loving the little mini how-to guides for each box. Thanks again for sharing so generously.
I am looking forward to seeing them all, and what you create in the New Year.
