Girl, your no-line watercoloring of this adorable snowman is first-class! Painting a no-line snowman is NOT easy to do and you rocked it!! Picture me, bowing in awe!! Hugs, Dolly
Stunning technique Loll, love that stamp and the background you created for him! :)
What a dramatic card Loll - love how you have coloured the wonderful scarf around the snowman - it is such a contrast to the hat and snow.

This is amazing...I wish you could come teach me how to do this! It never looks as good when I try!
ADORABLE! Others have used that word in their comments and I have to, too, to describe this card. The water coloring is amazing.
Isn't he just the most beautifully coloured, handsome chap, Loll ... brilliant! Saw Therese use this image the other day and thought how fabulous it was ... you've just confirmed it! Hugs, Anita :)

I love this little chap, in fact he made his first appearance in my craft room the other day.
Your no line watercolouring is stunning, he looks perfect xx
I was intrigued by this stamp when I saw Therese do it all in gray. You've really brought him to life with your wonderful watercoloring, Loll.
This is so adorable, Loll! Your no-line watercoloring is fantastic and the shading is amazing! I especially love the way you watercolored the hat (the soft velvet-like fabric). The soft wintry wash in the background is beautiful too.
