Guest Designer - Try it on Tuesday

 Frosty Winter Smiles
Happy Snowmen Couple
I was kindly asked if I would like to be Guest Designer for Try it on Tuesday. The theme is 'Winter Wonderland' and these little cuties were perfect! 
I coloured using ProMarkers. I stenciled the background using Great Outdoors Stencil with Distress Oxide Ink
The postbox, fence and trees are from Festive Christmas Download Bundle - also Polkadoodles.
For the snow, I ripped strips of paper, inked the edges and added Glamour Dust.
I created the sentiment in Microsoft Word
I'd like to enter the following challenges:
