This is for LSC181 to make a snowman card. I found this funny little Rubbernecker snowman with stick legs and thought he would look cute sitting on a park bench. I sketched in the bench with a waterproof artist pen and then stamped the tree images around the bench. I stamped the snowman image on scrap watercolor paper a couple of times so I could paint, cut out and pop up to sit on the bench. I added an extra layer to the hat, scarf and shoes. All images were painted with reinkers and a watercolor brush. I painted on white craft ink to the ground and trees to create snow and embossed with white embossing powder. I thought the little gingham ribbon, button and linen thread bow was a perfect little country touch for this guy. My color choices were taken from the color wheel section for Ballet Blue.
