I admired the retired 1997 Let it Snow set and was inspired by a card Vicky Gould did Gallery at Splitcoaststampers. I told her I would kill for that snowman so she sent me some of the images so she wouldn't have to read about a Florida woman being held for murder. I also got my own set in the mail today because I loved it enough to purchase it off Ebay.
I masked off the snowman and used my caramel and olive marker to do the forest scene with the trees. I filled in each tree trunk with creamy caramel reinker and then sponged over the trees with olive to give depth.After painting the snowman I sponged in bashful and buckaroo blue for the frozen pond. I stamped falling snow with Petal Pushers seeds stamp and embossed with white detail ep. I layed down liquid applique' for the ground snow. Finally, I attached the painted and cut out mittens and skates to the scene.
