I had a few die cut patterned paper pieces from making these inlaid die cut Christmas tags. I could have just placed them in the trash, but I decided to make a few notecards for the "winter" season. We don't have snowmen in the Southern part of Arizona, but I just love the Avery Elle Be Jolly snowman and so I stamped some snowmen onto white cardstock with Fog colored ink , stamped the leftover die cut pieces and then fussy cut them out. I paper pieced the snowmen together, coloring the nose with a marker and adding flocking to the hat bring and pom-pom.
The background was create using some Authentique patterned papers from the stash - quite old, but perfect coloring for these images.
I used a black marker to make the eyes, mouth and buttons stand out. I also used Crystal Accents on the button to make them shiny.
It was a fun notecard set to put together and now I have a few extra cards for the stash.
