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)
Awesome painting! You are right! A few "snowflakes" and the sentiment and it needs nothing else! So cute!
WOW! This is fabulous Loll, it looks like a true watercolour artist at work, but there again, that's what you are here. Love it. x
Amazing--it's a work of art for sure! He's jolly to the nth degree!
Wow Loll! This is incredible. What wonderful water coloring skills you have. He is just delightful.
Oh my this is stunning. You've done a great job at the no line coloring. Fabulous image.
Oh, I love him! What a fabulous snowman and your watercoloring is amazing!
Count my smile among the others, Loll! Fantastic no-line coloring!

I've always loved this snowman and I'm so happy to see him again, Lolly! You've painted him beautifully!
I love this snowman, you have done such a wonderful job of colouring him ❤️
He's a fabulous snowman, Loll.... I love this technique - and one I haven't used for quite a while... so thanks for the lovely inspiration, hugs Robyn
Utterly fabulous, Loll! I love the idea of coloring a solid image stamp like this. I've done it with Copics, but never with watercolors. How awesome! This is absolutely the perfect stamp for it, too. Your expert results are beyond amazing. ps: Just finished my snowmen today, so will see you there.
Awesome! xxx
Love that artsy watercolour snowman Loll, he really doesn't need anything else! :)
Absolutely gorgeous, Loll - fabulous result to your painting technique :)

I have yet to try this technique for some reason - I've seen peoples cards and thought I need to try this - but it has never happened! Your snowman is beautiful Loll! It seems to be a perfect stamp for the technique - and wonderfully done! I'll have to take a re-look at my stamps! Julia xx
I absolutely love this PB stamp. The coloring technique you used is practically watercolor, and I'm so impressed with the final result. This snowman looks stunning. The perfect card for a CAS Christmas Card challenge.

Just looking at your snowman makes me happy, Loll! I'm always impressed with your coloring, and this no-line watercoloring is another example. Highlights and shades are painted so delicately. The simple sentiment and the falling snow make this one-layer card a CAS beauty.

Spectacular, Loll!! Fantastic watercoloring!
Loll, this is an adorable snowman, and he is watercolored so beautifully. Looks like an old Hallmark card.
Beautifully done! Wonderful splatter!
Stunning watercolored snowman, Loll - thanks for the inspiration at CAS Christmas!!
