Here is my Instahop project using Snow Buddy Like You clear stamp set. I choose the two snowman buddies for my card.

And here is what the full stamp set looks like in the shop –

And here is a close up of my version of the two snowman buddies. I coloured with Polychromo pencils onto Kendal Manilla Buff Cardstock. For highlights I used white posca pen and white gel pen. I also added a little yellow posca pen to the windows to make the colour pop! –

To make my background for them I used Gnome Home Holiday Scene Builder Set for the houses and trees from North Pole Friends Background Builder Set.

When I had finished colouring my topper I mounted it onto some red cardstock, then 3D foamed that onto some nice Christmas 6×6 paper from the stash. To finish the card I added some stickles glitter to the snow and some glossy accents to the baubles.

I had previously scanned some lovely snow storm paper that was free with a magazine, I knew I would use it again and again, so I printed part of that out onto my topper before I started to colour it up. I then added some white pencil and white posca pen to the snow flurries, to blend it into my scene.

Thanks for popping to look at the blog! I love this set and using the scene builders to help me make a nice background easily! I hope you win if you take part in the hop! Mittens-crossed!
