Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge this week is to create a card suitable for a child. I made this one to give to a little girl called Nina who loves snowmen.
I coloured the image with coloured pencils and then went over the snowflakes, the lines of the ground, and the lines of the snowman with a stardust pen to give a bit of sparkle (which doesn't show up in the photo). I used glue and my homemade flower soft (grated styrofoam with some glitter added) for the furry brim of the hat.
I wanted it to be a square card but the image doesn't look right if cut square so I bordered it with a square of blue and punched down the wider edge with a snowflake punch.
It's also for my July quota for the SCS Christmas Card Challenge and the Festive Friday challenge to be inspired by the word "snow".
