GDT Card For Relatively Thoughtful - Woodware Snowman Gift

 

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

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:
