As hostess for the Stampin B this week, Faith aka Markie's Mom asked us to make a scenic card. I love snowmen so I decided to make a winter scene. Added a hill/mountain, trees, did some masking for sun, and made some darkish clouds. The snowmen are stamped twice and popped on dimensionals, as is the small tree.
I cut the scene freehand as I had no die cut that would work.

Love how "cool" your card is, Brenda! Your snowmen are too cute and I really like how you sponged the sky and masked the sun. It captured a real winter sky. We could use a little of that cold right now!

This is the most whimsical, adorable snow scene ever! I just love the scarf and hat on the snowman!! The striped background DP looks great and I'm really liking the sentiment placed at the top instead of the bottom! Great card, so much fun!!
