Freshly Made Sketches #652

I'm pleased as punch to play along with Linda's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #652!  It's a doozie and I brought just the guy home from NC for it!

I found Mr. Snowy in Bonnie's stash WITH the coordinating die, so I jumped right into stamping/cutting a few!   


I kept my water coloring quite simple today to best match the PFS patterned paper I found in my stash.  The 'hill' was cut using the Drifting Die from The Greetery once from on the patterned paper and another custom cut for the snow in his Tall Snow Globe which is an oldie from MFT.
Finally, I topped it with a stamped/die cut sentiment from ASD's Angel Bells set and a bit of Stickles for a bit of snow.


I'm very happy with how this one turned out - bonus: another Christmas card for the seniors!

If you gotta bring a guy home he might as well be a snowman! What a cutie!
