I actually drew this snowman on watercolor paper with an ultra fine tip permanent marker. I was inspired by a country-style (commercial) Christmas card.
I also 'tried' to go by the sketch challenge this week, although I didn't go by the exact measurements. But the over-all layout is the same. Bringing my crimper back to life one card at a time!!! What do ya think??
Edited: I attached the mustard layer onto black cs FIRST, then added the green crimped 'peices'. Doesn't look that way, but there are 4 green peices. Dark green twine also used between 'joy's.

Love it! Great job on the snowman! I need to try hand-drawing some images. Great idea! Your colors are fantastic, and I love the crimped and stitched side borders.
