In the Meadow We Can Build a Snowman

It is December 1 (and the first night of Hanukkah!), but you wouldn’t have known that from the 60+ degree temperature here at the start of the morning. There’d be no snowman building in that kind of weather—and after last winter’s record snowfall, that’s okay with me! By the end of the day, storms had pushed through and dropped the temperatures to a much more seasonal level, so I feel a little better about posting this wintery themed card for today’s SCS sketch challenge.

I used the pair of snowmen, named Twip and Oslo, from the new DoodleFactory Tis the Season set from Starving Artistamps for my snowy scene. The snowmen were stamped on shimmery white cardstock and colored in with Copic markers, then cut out. I embossed a Soft Sky panel with a snowflake pattern and brushed it with shimmery white ink for a subtle twinkle to match my snowmen. Some torn strips of shimmery white cardstock make the snowy ground. The snowmen are attached to the scene with foam tape.

I used some of Echo Park’s Wintertime designer paper for the panel behind the snowmen and to cover the cardfront, too. A little red ribbon knotted at the side of the image panel adds some texture. I added the coordinating sentiment, stamped in red, on an oval panel. A red felt snowflake to the side of the sentiment finished the card.
