I hope your new year is off to a great start. I am happy to be here and getting back in swing of a routine. The holidays are always a wonderful break and a time to relax and regroup.
It's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps. We welcome you to the first challenges of 2026.
The lovely LeAnne is our hostess this week at The Paper Players she has a beautiful color challenge for all of us. I combined it with the fun sketch from Sunday Stamps and decided to make a winter scene. So, get creative and have fun!
I created a snowy background on watercolor paper using distress inks. I splattered the blue background with white paint for the snowy sky. The trio of snowmen were created using the Honey Bee Designs Snow Buddies stamp and die set. I can't find this set on their site, so I guess it is discontinued, but I love these happy little snowmen and will keep them in my stash. I colored them with Copic Markers and added Wink of Stella for some shine. I cut a snowdrift to run along the bottom border and added some silver marker across the top. The sentiment is from Waffle Flowers Snow Cheer Stamp Set to create the sentiment. Three silver dots were added to complete my card.

Your snowmen are adorable, Claire! The snow spatter is a great background and I love the different expressions one the snowmen's faces. So cute!
