Hello Crafters!
January has definitely arrived here in Ohio. It's 6 degrees outside. I am currently wearing 3 shirts, two pairs of socks, one pair of super heavy sweat pants and a robe. I am not joking. Do you know what I needed? Warm spring!
Fortunately, I had the Feathers & Florals stamp set waiting in the wings to save the day. Yay, flowers!
I ventured into the mostly terrifying world of no line coloring for this card. When I say it's terrifying let me clarify. It's frightening for me. I love a bold black outline. It's my happy little security blanket. However, I adore the soft look of no line coloring - so here I am, branching out.
You can see how I approached this technique in the video below.

All and all not too traumatic. LOL I really like the flow of the flowers and how they do look more transparent. Usually, my coloring is so bold, so it's nice to try something else every once in a while.
I especially like the detail of the white dots. I'm all about the little extra subtlety that it adds.
Thanks for stopping by!

So pretty! I need to try no-line coloring. Hope y'all warm up soon. Mother Nature is being ornery here in Texas. It was 14 degrees on Friday and we actually got some snow. Today it's in the 70s.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card. Amazing colouring as always. No-line colouring is on my to try list for several years. It just seems overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteYou make no-line coloring look easy. I like the way you start with a solid image. I'm game to try this now!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! You have inspired me to try this with Copics ! Maybe I will have more luck with Copics than Watercolour. Thank you !
ReplyDeleteI'm feelin ya on the weather Kelly! Similar weather here a state north of you ;) I have to say that I am so impressed with your card, and that you went outside your comfort zone! It looks SUPER pretty! I hope you try it again - I love the look of no-line coloring~!
ReplyDeleteI'm chillin' out with you here in Idaho...it was -6*F last week. Your card is beautiful. I learned a lot from your video. Thank you.

ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful. TFS!
ReplyDeleteKelly your no line colouring looks amazing. Thanks for explaining the steps and showing them in your video. I'm off to have a go, I don't have copics so am going to try it with coloured pencils to see if I can do something similar. Sending you some sunny warmth from Australia we've just finished a week of temperatures of about 100*F, it's a much more pleasant 67*F today. Have a lovely day and stay warm. Cheers Donna Z :)
