No Line Watercolor

I saw the Better with You stamp set in the new Annual Catalog, and I had to give no line water coloring a try! I was having a hard time deciding on a color scheme and my friend suggested the mad bluebird!

I had never heard of them before and he was so cute!!  My water coloring wasn’t exactly no line, but I love how it turned out!

It’s super easy to create!  This will be the technique for club this month!

1. Use a light color to stamp the image you want to color.  I used Sahara Sand.
2. Use your aqua painter & ink refills to create the watercolor images
3. If you want darker shading, wait for the first layer to dry completely.
4. I did use a Stampin’ Write marker tip to define his eye and beak.
5. I completed the look with a pearl colored with a black sharpie.

The background of the Balmy Blue is the new Subtle Dynamic Embossing folder!  It turns your card stock into textured in a flash!
