Coloring Tips

1. 1🎨 Texture Play - Use different shades of brown for the gingerbread walls, adding lighter tones for baked edges and darker ones for shadows to create depth and a realistic cookie look.
2. 2🖍️ Candy Details - Think about the specific colors of candies! Use vibrant reds and whites for candy canes, bold stripes for peppermints, and a rainbow of hues for gumdrop windows to make them pop.
3. 3✨ Frosted Sparkle - For the icing and frosted eaves, use white, light blue, or even a very pale pink. You can add tiny dots or lines with a gel pen or white crayon to suggest sparkling sugar crystals.
4. 4🌈 Background Bliss - Keep the snowy background subtle with light blues, grays, and whites. This will allow your wonderfully detailed and colorful gingerbread mansion to truly shine as the main focus of your masterpiece.
