I found this snowman image tucked into a swap card I received, so I don't know who makes the image, but it's a a sweet one. I simply colored it with pencils, die-cut the oval, and added piercing around the edge.
The card base has been sitting in my Christmas file for ages -- as I recall I started to do a sketch challenge ages ago and abandoned the project for forgotten reasons (realistically, probably lack of time). The snowman and a die-cut snowflake seemed to fit perfectly with what I had, and I have no idea what the original sketch called for. I am making a concerted effort to take advantage of half-made items and put them to good use.

Great patterned papers in the background to show off your snowman. And kudos to you for using up the half done bits you have lying around. I always have good intentions but it rarely gets beyond that.
ReplyDeleteLove the patterned papers as a setting for this adorable snowman. I love it when you can use a bit from your snippet stash for a new creation. Thanks for linking up and playing with us at Happy Little Stampers April Christmas Challenge.
