Well, it's the beginning of June. So, what better time for a snowman card?!

I kinda feel like this is one of those kitchen sink cards. You know the kind where everything eventually gets thrown in the mix?! But, once I got started on a snowman/snowflake kiddie card, it seemed like the busier the better. :)
Lots of decision went into this one. A few key decisions were: 1) adding black to the snowmen -- and only the snowmen -- to give them a stronger presence and 2) limiting the teal color on the acetate to just the snowmen and the large snowflake.
The card above actually was inspired by the following challenges:
- the Cards for Kids challenge over at Merry Monday,
- the Frosty the Snowman Challenge over at Jingle Belles,
- the Two Dies Challenge -- LOL -- over at Saprkles Christmas, and
- Sketch Saturday #415, rotating the sketch and placing my strip over the oval... so my snowmen could stand on it.
