Let it snow, man!

Ink: Crumb Cake, Soft Sky

No, I don't really want it to snow right now. We've had a few flurries that have melted, and that's fine by me. But this little guy sure looks like he's ready. (And did you catch the pun in my title? Snow, man? Hee.) I've been having fun experimenting with -- and finding online -- different ways to make punch-art snowmen. This one is made with two circle punches -- 1-1/4" and 1-3/4" -- sponged around the edges with Soft Sky ink. To make his nose, I punched a 1-1/4" scalloped circle out of Pumpkin Pie cardstock and then trimmed from the sides of one of the scallops to the center of the circle. His arms are two trimmed segments of a punched snowflake, and I used small dots of black Stickles glitter glue for his eyes, mouth and buttons.

Have you seen any snow yet this season? Thanks for stopping by!
