One of the many things I miss about the Wyoming/Colorado area is the mountains.

Although Florida is beautiful {and slowly growing on me} you can’t beat a snow covered MOUNTAIN top.

So as you may have guessed, that’s exactly what inspired my latest kid craft post “Watercolor Snowy Mountain Scene.”

In this post I’ve included a FREE MOUNTAIN TEMPLATE, so you will be well on your way to pulling it together. Plus with the watercolor aspect, no two “views” will be the same {kinda like day to day, in real life!}

So don’t delay – find the full tutorial and free mountain template below!

Be sure to also share with us your beautiful mountain scenes using #gluedtomycrafts on your various social media sites! Happy crafting, my friends!!!
