Joy and Peace - Spirited Snowman meets Winter Woods

I hate the thought of winter coming, yet I would be happy to say good bye to the relentless heat and humidity of this past summer.  Weather forecasters predict a very cold winter and lots of snow- starting in November and not letting up until March.

Which means that this card will soon depict some sort of reality.

Doesn't the snowman look happy?  Like he's almost dancing.

He was stamped and colored with blends on a separate piece of Whisper White, then fussy cut and placed against this backdrop of winter trees.

The trees, from "Winter Woods, was stamped in various ink strengths with Shaded Spruce ink.  Two other trees were stamped on a separate piece of  Whisper White card stock and die cut with the "In the Woods Framelit".  One I left the same size; the other I made smaller by cutting it  off 1/3 from the bottom.

I added the larger tree with dimensionals against the backdrop of the other trees.  To mimic snow I added some glitter texture paste and let it dry before adding the smaller tree more to the front.

The snowman was added, again with dimensionals, in front of both trees.  He appears to be holding the sign "Joy & love".

Using Pool Party ink, I stamped snowflakes in the sky above the trees.  Dazzling diamonds was applied to the snowflakes.
