I started by stamping the image onto Hot Press watercolour paper in Antique Linen distress ink (very light). Then used a variety of other distress ink colours to watercolour the image and add a light blue to the sky. Finished the card by using white acrylic paint to add snow to the trees, cabin and splattered over the whole card. The sentiment (Snowflake Season by Penny Black) is stamped in brown.

We have had a lot of snow over the past week.
Jessie has enjoyed hopping through the deep snow and as always,
finding the biggest stick she can carry makes her happy.

Gorgeous winter scene, beautifully watercoloured.
Love your photo of Jessie in the snow ...... she's so adorable.
I wish we had snow. There's been a little bit on the mountain but it didn't last very long. Have a lovely weekend ...... stay warm and cosy xx
Lovely little winter cabin! Great job on the no-line watercolouring. Jessie looks like she's really been enjoying the snow (and her huge stick).
Lovely little scene, it completely matches what you have going on outside. Glad Jessie enjoys it xx
LOVE your cozy snow covered watercolored cabin and trees, Lolly. Adding swiped white acrylic brush strokes to your trees was genius, my friend. I must check out the beautiful stamp set. TFS and always inspiring me:-) The photo of Jessie playing in the snow and finding a big stick is so cute. TFS Love and Hugs..Nancy
P.S. What is a splatter brush? Hugs..
I adore your sweet scene Loll and the added snow on the trees and cabin and spattered for falling snow, and I love the wisps of smoke from the chimney and the soft blue sky..so so pretty! x
This cabin does look cozy and and inviting place to snuggle up during the snow! That stick is bigger than Jesse! I'll be she felt very proud to have captured it!

If you had to be out in the snow, this is the place to go to. A beautifully water colored cozy cabin with a fire in the fireplace. Jessie looks so pleased with her find.
What a gorgeous snow scene. Your no line colouring is wonderful. I especially like the style in which you have done your trees. Thanks for playing along with Christmas Craft Creations. X
The little cabin looks so cozy , Loll! Love how you added snow to the tree with acrylic paint. The smoke from the chimney looks realistic too.
Jessie is so adorable playing in the snow. She looks happy and proud. "Look, Mom, I found this big one for you!" :-)

This is amazing, Loll, your coloring is superb! The cabin with all the shading is so realistic and I LOVE your snow! Happy New Year!
Look at Jessie! She is bringing firewood to the cabin in the woods! What a full-circle and delightful card and post, Lolly! Love, Dolly
When I saw this winter scene, I was really delighted! It looks so amazing and the trees with a layer of white acrylic give the impression that it is a large format oil painting. What an amazing card, Loll !!
