Watercolor Snowy Mountain Scene – Kid Craft
One of the many things I miss about the Wyoming/Colorado area is the view of the mountains. There is just something about it that takes your breathe away.
Although Florida is beautiful {and slowly growing on me} you can’t beat a snow covered MOUNTAIN top. You just can’t…. Especially during the holiday season. I think that’s what I miss the most!
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 snowy mountain scene tutorial and free printable template below!
Be sure to also share with us your beautiful paper and cotton ball mountain scenes using #gluedtomycrafts on your various social media sites or on our Facebook page! Happy crafting, my friends!!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
