Cool colors today! ......I keep reading in the comments about the amount of snow some of you have been getting. So today my card might help you with that. I have listed the steps to building a snowman.
1. Hike up a small hill. (snowshoes might help)
2. Be sure you have your mittens on, then make a small snow ball and roll it down the hill.
3. Repeat the above three times.
4. Stack the now much larger snowballs bending your knees as you pick them up, then embellish with whatever you have on hand.........or find on the ground......or on your feet.
5. Have fun and think of me! :0)
Hope this helps you all deal with the snowy weather you might be having. Unfortunately for me, I just have cold temperatures, no snow! The temperatures are going up for a few days. We might see the 50's or 60's before they go back down. Oh well..........brief details....
Stamped my snowshoes from Clear Dollar Stamps on my panel, clear ep them. Colored them with Faber Castel Pen. Stippled garden green around them.
Drew my snowballs and mitten on the panel and some extras on another panel so I could cut them out and pop them up. Colored and shaded with acrylic paint.
Sponged brillant blue on the edges and for the sky. Had a little trouble because I only have the re-inker. Put my panel on a white card sponged garden green and doodled the edges.
Put together my snowman and popped him up on front with a couple of the rolling snowballs. I put a cube of ice (dew drop) on his hat, but it must have melted because you can barely see it! LOL.......Well, what do you think?............TFL :0)

Cathy, this is an adorable card. My only question is for us in the midwest who have no hills. How do we roll the snowballs down the hill? Do we shovel the snow until we have a hill? I love the little mittened hand in the corner of your card.

You are too funny!!! Is that light bit of green supposed to be the grass showing through after all the trips up the hill?? Pretty creative, and definitely funny!!
