Love this lil snowman huddle from Bella, it has a 'frosty warmth' to it. The main image was watercolored and masked to add the pine branches (SU 2004) after sponging a base of Almost Artichoke. Their hats and scarf are dusted with Fun Flock. The sentiment is from Close to my Heart, and the inside reads "It's greatest gifts are family and friends".
I love the scoring above the border punch, and this is a trick I learned from my stampin' buddy, Tosha. Oh, she has the nicest lil touches that finish off her work! (Thanks Sistah!)
Thanks for looking!

What a cute little snowman huddle it is. The branches give them a warm base to be by. Love the base cutout,and the ribbon to bring out their hats sweet. thank you for sharing it...God bless...:0)
