Create With Stamping Friends-Inspiration Monday 413

Stylish Shapes Dies Snowman!

Welcome to our Create With Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges.  This week’s inspiration challenge is a photography image of some really adorable snowpeople:

I decided to use the snowman theme, wood grain theme and added trees in the background:

The Country Woods Designer Paper is what I used to cut my snowman circles with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I used three different sizes and then stacked them over each other with Mini Glue Dots. I did not have any black bling on hand so used my Dark Basic Black Stampin’ Blends and colored some Rhinestone Basic Jewels:
