Hi everyone. I'm back with another Christmas card for CAS Christmas July Challenge - Snowman, hosted by Linda. Such a fun challenge!! :)
This time I'm using the no-line watercolouring technique. I stamped the image in soft gray onto cold press watercolour paper. I used distress re-inkers to watercolour. It's basically painting an image free-hand with a little help from the stamp. :)
I kept it CAS by adding a simple sentiment and a few splatters of falling snow. That was all that was needed.

I love this snowman stamp, he always looks so jolly. Great job with the water-colouring, and the added snow makes it even more special.
Great job coloring this fun snowman Loll. Love your card and the image. TFS
That face tells me merry has arrived! His look of joy is quite heartfelt -- what a great stamp and card, Loll!
This is a great snowman stamp and perfect for no-line coloring which you did so well, Loll. The snow splatters are so controlled - a look I find difficult.
This is so well done, Lolly! Your painting, even with the help of the soft gray outline, is absolutely controlled and perfect! I love that you left it to be the star by only adding the nestled sediment and snowdrops! Hugs, Dolly
You look like a master water colorist with this FABULOUS snowman Loll...so beautifully done!! And oh does he make me smile...LOVE him!! Hugs. :0)
