I finally finished my fourth telescoping snowman card for my fourth offspring. Now, I do have to decided who gets which one, but I think I already have a pretty good idea. I did decide to do #4 with folk art colors, and I found a piece of Kaisercraft Christmas paper that had small squares of all the papers in the St. Nicholas collection. It was perfect for this project. I paired it with Stampin' Up's Old Olive for my cardbase and a mat layer of Red Glimmer to place my squares on. My hardest job was finding a pattern I like for the middle body circle. Don't why that was so difficult, but I had my heart set on the Peace, LOVE, and Joy label from the same Kaisercraft St. Nicholas collection, and I needed something to contrast but look like it belonged together. I finally selected a Graphic 45 Christmas Emporium ivy paper. I am actually happier with the final design than I thought I would be, and now it's time to share with you!
