This is for Joyce's fun CAS challenge - Snowmen. This was the quickest card I think I have ever made. Print image, outline the tree branch and decorations with blue copic, then fussy cut.
Colour with Tria Markers by Letraset, add white dots with a Sharpie paint pen. Cut legs off.
I bought some Project Life cards on sale, the card has a lovely linen texture and is great for die cutting and card bases. Scored the lower half, stuck on some Christmas washi tape, adhered the snowmans legs below the tape and his body, above the tape.
I kept looking at this and thinking something was wrong. I have never seen a snowman in real life (you know what I mean) anyway I went ahead and took his picture and here he is.
As I was thinking of a name for my card I realised his nose is missing, I have decided to leave it as it is. Just think of nose as a parsnip not a carrot.
Thank you for looking and have a terrific week ladies.

Bwahahahahahahahahah! The fact that you have never seen a real life snowman struck me as funny - then I got SAD, because there is an element to snow and the fun you can have in it, that you have been missing all your whole life - that is UNBELIEVEABLE to us here!!
Your card is a cutie, for sure!! love his dotted hat, his striped leggings and the decorations hanging from his branch arms - he's a happy guy, even if he doesn't have a carrot for his nose - LOL!! What a cutie-patootie!!

He is just too cute! The polka dots and stripes really make him fun, Susie! Love that washi tape! I thought it was textured until I read your description. Love that digi!

Much as I dislike shoveling snow, I have to admit kids sure do have lots of fun (like I used to!) building a snowman. Love your tall, skinny guy with a parsnip for a nose!
