I tried this on Kraft paper to see if it would look cute and country. I have not had good luck with the snowmen grouping as I have always tried to use too many colors on the scarves and hats. I decided sticking to one or two main colors would be better. I used white craft ink to daub all over the trees, heated it and then daubed the ground with craft ink and used a background to create falling snow and embossed with detail white. It's not perfect but I like my first attempt.

Oh this is so cute ! Great job. I really like the idea of only using one or two colors on the scarves, hats and mits. I always end up using way too many and it gets a little wild. This is wonderful. Thank you for the inspiration. TFS

I think is one of the best cards you have done to date. The kraft paper is perfect. It really lends itself to the country effect you were going for. And you are right the fewer colors on the scarves the better. I love this card, it is perfect.
