GDT Card For Relatively Thoughtful - Woodware Snowman Gift

 

I'm back today to share another GDT card for Relatively Thoughtful:

I've used a Woodware stamp set called 'Snowman Gift' which I decided to paper piece.  I have to admit that about half way through I did very nearly give up but I stuck at it and was pleased with the final result!

For the paper piecing I used a selection of Christmas paper scraps and for the background to my stamped panel I used one of the papers from Sam's Seasonal Collection.

Here's another view of my card:

Here's what I used:

- Snowman Gift stamp set from Woodware available here
