Snowman in the park

After completing the Winter Storybook mini class from Sandy Allnock over on Art-Classes, I was inspired to go back to the City Sidewalks mini class. I made a start on it last year, though I didn’t get past making a card based on the first lesson.

Normally I follow along closely with the classes first time through, replicating the image as exactly as I can, to get a feel for the techniques involved. But this time, I already knew that I wanted to use the winter park setting for the cute snowman I picked up from The Paper Shelter. (I keep saying I’m not going to buy any more digi stamps until I’ve used more of the ones I have, but then…)

I am really pleased with how this one turned out; I still need to work on creating natural tree shapes, but that’s just a case of finding some nice reference images rather than doing it from my imagination.
