The background for this card was created by "mopping up" leftover paint on my craft mat. I had been using some Daniel Smith watercolor paints for a different project, and I couldn't bear to just wipe up and throw away these gorgeous turquoise colors, so I grabbed a piece of watercolor paper, spritzed the paint with water, and mopped up the paint. I repeated this several times until most of the paint was transferred to the paper.
I don't have much in the way of funny or snarky stamps, so I figured this would be funny to a fellow Texan. We rarely ever get snow here, so this scene is the most unlikely one you'll ever see. :-)
This is the last day of the Falliday Fest challenges. Have you been playing along? You still have time to catch up before they close the challenges.

I love the shades of turquoise paint in your background and I may have to buy "Sleeping Beauty" just for the name. Love your sweet little snowman that make the card so adorable!
