Practicing No Line Coloring

I decided I should try to see if I can master the "no line" coloring technique and I admit that using the Gina K. Designs Skeleton Leaves Amalgam ink was a great asset in achieving a better look. I still need more practice but this turned out better then I anticipated. I used the March Challenge sketch from White Rose Crafts LLC for my card as well.



The flower design and sentiment are from the White Rose Crafts Milton stamp set. I only used a portion of the beautiful floral design and colored them with Copic markers. With a Life Changing Blending Brush I added some blue around the flowers using the Scrap Berry's Blue Stain Ink pad. This design was die cut  with a Gina K. Designs small double stitched die and then placed onto a layer of GKD Jelly Bean Green card stock which was die cut with the GKD large single stitched oval die. That larger die works perfect for a layering one.

I used some pattern papers from the 2018 June Kit from White Rose Crafts, LLC and cut the banner with a Cheery Lynn Designs Pierced Banner die. I then added it to another layer of the Jelly Bean Green card stock. My base card was with Jelly Bean Green card stock too and so over that I placed the other pattern paper. The sentiments were stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I am entering this in the Scrapy Land Challenge #109-Anything Goes.

Now this really makes me long for Spring. I think these are such pretty colors. I hope you like it as well. We are missing the snow today but it is still predicted to hit us this weekend. If things go as they say I am sure we will not be having church again. But Spring should be arriving soon as this is March. At least I hope so.

Thanks for visiting and until next time take care.
God bless,
Verna

Beautiful result with the no line coloring. Such a pretty bouquet and your different layers of papers make for a gorgeous background.

Very pretty and great job with the coloring. I struggled so much with this technique in the past, I am not sure if I want to try these new inks out this year or not. Yes, it is cold today still, but a week from now we may have a high of 60. We shall see!
