I was tickled pink this morning after I read what the challenge was.....No Stamps. Joan thank you. It got my creative juices flowing.....plus I was inspired by a cartoon in the comics, which happens a lot.....hehe....details...
To start off, I punched three different size circles on a scrap of paper to use as a mask. Then I put together my group of snowmen by sponging the circles with bashful blue adding doodle lines.
Made their eyes and mouth with acrylic paint and a stylus, drew the carrot noses and little snowman's hat coloring with sharpies. The black hats were free cut from black cs adding some white shading. The mittens were drawn on a scrap of cs that I had done alcohol ink on. The stick arms were free cut from dp.
Sponged the bg sky using RR cloud stencil starting with the darker color going to lighter. The snow ground was sponged on with very vanilla then eb with holographic ep.
Took some white acrylic paint and a wet toothbrush and splattered on the snow. Made a tiny ribbon bow with the bow maker...Wal-La! Done.
It snowed in the mountains so DH went to try out his new snowboard.....AND I made this card after we both worked that is. Hope you like it! .....TFL :0)

I LOVE your snowman dance. Well...that's what it looks like to me. Your clouds are to die for and you placed the snowmen just perfectly. Mama's cap is so cool. This is one great creation.

Cathy, indeed, this challenge was right up your alley!! : ) An artist like you would feel none of the angst of creating a card with no stamps....you do it all the time....and sensationally too!! This snowpeople family gathering on a grey, cloudy day is fantastic!
