Snow - (bird) Men?

 Well it's the 6th month of the year and I am still keeping my promise to make at least one card for CAS Christmas.
This month's challenge though had me a little stumped - a simple enough theme you would think until I realised that amongst this stamp mountain I possess I own precisely ONE snowman stamp 😦
What to do????

I remembered that when this stamp from Crafty Individuals (CI- 569) was released despite it being called 'Seagulls of Seaton Carew', I immediately thought of snowmen! Maybe it was the scarves and the bobble hat?

Stamped and heat embossed in white and chopped off their legs!

Stamped, coloured and paper pieced the scarves,  bobble hat and googly eye and just popped them onto a white snowy background. I added a row of die cut white trees behind them.
(I think if I did this again I might make their black beaks orange like carrots)

In my head they looked like they were lost or simply couldn't make their minds up which way to go so the addition of the sign with a couple of choices -

Do we behave and go home?
Or do we go and find adventure?

Big choices for 2 (legless) Snow (Men)......😄

    This is such fun and great imagination to come up with these delightful legless snow birds. Just love the whole idea. I'm sure no birds, or men, were harmed in the making 🤣🤣

    Fun and cute snowman/snowbird card, Viv! Love how you transformed the seagulls into the snowmen! So clever to create a scene for them by adding the signs. The snowman on the left side does look like he's lost. :-)
    It's good for you that you've been keeping your promise to make at least one card for CAS Christmas! It's always great to see your card in the gallery. Thank you!

    These snowmen are charming even without legs. Adding the sign was brilliant since they seemed confused. I would choose a winter climate for their adventure!

    Well, I guess birds make snowmen too and why shouldn't they look like birds?! although these DO look like funky snowman - what a creative use of your stamps Viv - love the embossed snow background and your fun directional sign! xx
