NO LINE STAMPING AND WATER COLORING

HEY BLOGGIES,

I LOVE BLOGGIE LAND!!  All the amazing talented crafters who are willing to share their knowledge and talents with everyone is awesome.  That is how I found this technique called NO LINE STAMPING.

Basically you stamp your image with a very very light color ink and then you use either water colors, or aqua pen and ink to color in your image.

I used stamped off Hello Honey ink for my faint images.  Then I tried both water coloring AND aqua painter and ink,..the smaller of the butterflies is my water colored image and the larger one is reinkers.  Which do you like better?

 I did the small butterfly with water colors first.  AND because no lines is a new technique for me, I ended up shading all around the outer edge which kind of defeated the purpose of the technique.

 The larger butterfly was the second one I did and I used an aqua painter and ink for this one.  I felt a bit more confident after practicing on the first butterfly and think I did a better job as well.

 Here is a close up on the large ink colored butterfly.  I used hello honey, coastal cabana and a little touch of soft suede,.  Then because all butterflies should be absolutely awesome, I used Wink of Stella clear glitter pen on the insides of the wings,

The other two accessories I used are mini square sequins and a die cut "thanks".  I layered the water color paper on a very thin piece if black cardstock and then onto coastal cabana.

I like that I stamped two very small butterflies with the stamped-off hello honey on the card as well.  Makes it look a bit like an architectural drawing I think.

Thanks for stopping by.  I have entered this card into the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - anything goes.  Stop by and see what else was entered for their challenge.
