Hello Friends, My apologies for a super quick post today.
I thought I would give the popular “no line” coloring a try again. I have done it in the past but, I really do like the black lines.
I started with some spun sugar.
I always wet my surface first then apply some distress ink by smooching the ink on my craft mat and picking it up with my brush.
Then I applied a medium color.
Here comes the dark accent color. I didn’t pay any attention to where the light should be just where it was easy for me.
I used two browns of distress ink for the center. Once it was dry I added a little white pencil. I wanted to finish the background and make a card but, time didn’t permit. Boo!
Have a great day and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

Love the flower and the coloring on this. The outline stamped in the color of the flower is awesome.
I keep forgetting to give this a try. Maybe this is the mini kick in the pants I need to give this a try tonight.
Oh my….it’s just beautiful Kathy!! what a gorgeous stamp too. Sigh….lovely!
Drooling here. You may like the black lines, but this in spectacular. Gorjuss.
This is gorgeous–I need to try it! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the coloring with distress inks. These are becoming my go to’s! Absolutely beautiful coloring on this one – one of my favs for sure.
I haven’t tried this technique yet though I’ve wanted to. While I have to say that I too usually prefer the black lines, your flower is absolutely gorgeous!
This is so beautiful, Kathy! Thank you so much for explaining how you achieved this look.
Beautiful!!
Quick but very nice
You are SO talented with coloring/painting. I’m going to try this but I can’t even imagine mine coming out as spectacular as yours. 🙂
Beautiful. Love watercoloring with distressed inks… I must get more vivid colors. 😀
hugs

Simply gorgeous, Kathy!

this is SO gorgeous!
This is a stunning flower! I always forget about the no lines technique until I am cleaning up from a creating session! I am making a note for myself so that the next time I am in my Craft Room I might remember to do this! TFS!
Love this. I have had a couple of goes with the no line but haven’t particularly liked the end result. Yours is beautiful. Might have to have another go.
This is stunning!! I LOVE the way you used the distress inks on this. I so want to do this!!
Gorgeous, Kathy! I have yet to try this no-line technique – it scares me a bit………I’ve used up every bit of watercolor paper here in FL, so will give this a try when I get home to my stash!
I love looking at your card Kathy. You have such great designs. You pour out so much inspiration.
oh you make me want to keep trying watercolor – it is not my forte! but seeing your beautiful results makes me wanna try
You may like black lines but you did a fantastic job without them. This is one of my favorite stamps to color!
Gorgeous flower. I need to try that no lines watercoloring. Thanks for the inspiration.
Amazing. So beautiful.
Love this flower and the colors. I really like the no line. Beautiful!
Gorgeous watercoloring!
I love how you colored this flower. I’m picky about flowers…sometimes they look to “fakey” for my taste, lol. But this one is perfect. I feel like I could just pick it and it would be real in my hand. Just beautiful.
Wow! Beautiful!
A great technique – I must give it a try
Awesome tutorial. I like how the darks and lights create depth. Also, I have never tried the no black outline watercolor, but think it gives an interesting look.
This is stunning! LOVE the layers of color on this rose!
Kathy,
Thank you for sharing all the card projects you created for the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I learned so much from your daily challenges. I am fairly new to stamping and card making. You have inspired me to play and create and color and make cards. Thank you seems so insignificant a word to express how much I sincerely appreciated each challenge.
This is so Gorgeous! I’ll have to give this a try today!
Very Pretty!
WOWSER, what a beautiful flower. I have the same stamp and have never made it look that beautiful. Your are the best Kathy and I sure hope you continue to share your skills with us. Thanks so much for a lovely day.
I loved both of your flowers. Beautiful.
G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S! It absolutely is beautiful Kathy! You do such amazing things with any type of flower! And you seem to create these amazing effects with any medium! If only you knew just how jealous I am!
He IS Able!
