My "P" word is paper-piecing, a technique where an image, or part of an image, is stamped on patterned paper, fussy cut, and then adhered to a base image. In my case, I paper pieced Mr. Snowflake's hat, scarf and mittens with a scrap of plaid paper. I think it gives him a bit of country charm.

Love it, great choise of Design Papers!! He looks so sophisticated!
I really like the combination of plaid papers you have used and his matching hat, gloves and little neckerchief are very smart indeed. Got to be the best dressed snowman in town.
Pitter patter is the weather outside today. So no need to feel guilty while I craft inside!
The plaid is a perfect look on your card Beccy.
Oh , wat zie ik nu toch , Een rokende sneeuwpop.
Dat is niet zo gezond.
Als hij maar niet smelt met de warme pijp.

I still don't know how to do paper-piecing, but I love your card.
Isn't he a fashionista!
Great card, I love all the plaid. I’m just home from a holiday in Norway, searching for the Northern Lights….. with no success. 😞 Perhaps we should try searching for the Southern Lights next time and also spot a “P”enguin or two. I’ve got a lot of Holiday Cards Challenge letters to catch up with, so back in my craft room in the morning. xx
Oh Beccy so love this your colouring and the papers are awesome. P for Pipe my Dad smoked one when I was a child and it brings back such nice memories. Thanks for bring them back as he has Dementia which memories are all we have
Your Paper Pieced Mr Snowflake is Practically Perfect in Every Way Beccy!!!
Such a wonderful way to add a Pretty Plaid Pattern to an image!
Thank You for the INSPIRATION :)
Wonderful plaid paper, I thought you colored it at first glance!
Mr Snowflake looks handsome with his plaid hat, scarf and mittens. And smoking a pipe nowadays??? I hope it is permitted at his place. Love how you used the various plaid papers.

What an amazing combination of coordinating plaids. Everyone loves plaid especially at Christmas but you have taken this one over the top with the combinations of plaids and your amazing coloring. Perfect in every way!
Oh he's so fun with his paper-pieced accessories! I love all the plaids! Also love your side banners; this is a great sketch!
Fantastic paper piecing, Beccy! That's always been one of my favorite techniques and I haven't used it in quite a while. Thanks for the inspiration to dig out the dp and scissors again. Maybe I can revive by love of it efore the month ends. ;-D
