Abstract Snowman Card

I need a simple and quick card project for all my students next week, and was inspired by some stock snowman art. After deliberating on all the ways this look could be achieved, I settled on using markers to get the brightest color choices for the least amount of money.
I’m going to start by give each student an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper, a 5" square cardboard, and a half 4" diam. circle and one 2" diam. circle template.
1. The student folds the paper in half as shown, places the square in the top center, and traces (lightly!) with a pencil.
2. The half circle is centered on the bottom of the square and traced in pencil. The small circle is placed above and traced also.
3. A hat is drawn on top of the head. Note: The top of the hat must touch the top of the drawn square. A horizontal line is drawn across the middle of the square, skipping the inside of the snowman.
4. The extra lines inside the snowman are erased. The hat is colored in with a Sharpie marker, as well as the other details.
5. The background of the square is colored with Sharpies, using four different colors.
6. White circles of paper made from a hole punch are glued randomly to the background. If desired, a message could be written in the space below the snowman
