The Snowman by Raymond Briggs

Last week I played along with a new challenge blog (for me) - The Library Challenge and I thought what a unique way to be inspired, so I'm joining in again with challenge #22 - The Snowman by Raymond Briggs.   I didn't make a card just a little artwork inspired by the book cover -- I also included a little image of a winter home where maybe our boy, Billy in the story lives.
I love to mix up stamps and have done that here - masking off parts of stamps ... can you see the Tim Holtz bird stamp I used for my snowman, hand drew in the rest and used coloured pencil to add some slight colour.  Then stamped my house and trees from parts of other stamps.  Thanks for visiting and enjoy your Christmas and New Year

  1. How clever! I love how you did the face. The little house in the distance is perfect and he really seems to be looking right back at it. This is wonderful. Thanks for joining The Library.
