I had a good time making this side-step card! My friend has a snowman stamp,Small Stackable Stanley, that I've wanted to use for a few years. Every time she uses it, I admire it and say I should borrow it. You know how it goes....other things and stamps get in the way! Well, I finally borrowed it, along with In the Meadow. The evergreen trees are stamped with Holiday Greetings. Stackable Stanley looks like he's having a blast, just like we did as kids playing in the snow.
All of my images were stamped and fussy cut. This tedious task seems to calm me somehow. I also absolutely hate to throw out scraps! The snow base is made with scraps, the scarves on the tower of snowmen are pieced with scraps and the dotted background is assembled with leftover pieces of a 12x12 sheet of double sided paper. I wish I could have shown the depth more effectively. Thanks for looking.
