Ms. Snow The Paper Players Challenge PP769

 January 18, 2026

It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players. 

The amazing Joanne is our hostess this week and she has a timely Clean and Simple Challenge for all of us.  "Signs of Winter" is the theme.  Things like snow, snowmen or women, snowflakes, hats, scarves, mittens, warming hot cocoa, sledding, snowball fights, ice skating, icicles, are just some ideas - but specifically NOT Christmas!  Just remember to keep it CAS - limited layers and embellishments, plenty of "white space."

                            




I embossed the background panel with a snow embossing folder.  Then I stenciled the top section of the snowperson using the  Waffle Flower Oversized Snowman Stencils.   I used sponges and distress inks for the earmuffs and scarf along with the facial features.  I used a heart stencil on the scarf and earmuffs to turn this little snow person into a girl.  I didn't add a sentiment.  I thought her face showed enough expression that she could be for any occasion.  No embellishments were added to keep it CAS.

    Your snowgirl is perfectly sweet, Claire! She'd make a sweet Valentine or any occasion winter card I think. I like the embossed background too.

    I love that embossed background. Snowflakes are just so pretty! Your snowgirl is very sweet and a nice variation of a traditional snowman. Lovely job!
