Faux No Line Coloring

Hi friends!  Today I am sharing a card showing how to achieve the look of the No Line Coloring technique.  I recently got inspired by Amy R ( Prairie Paper and Ink) when she showed in one of her recent videos the Barely Beige Ink from Simon Says Stamp, and how when you stamp down an image, what ever color you use with your coloring medium, the lines of the stamped image will take on that color!  It is a very cool effect!!

I used a Clearly Besotted set that sadly I can not find online to link, it may be retired, but I love these rose images, and thought this would be a great set to try this look with.

I stamped my image down onto a piece of Canson XL Watercolor paper, and then die cut it with one of the Mini Scalloped Rectangle frames.  I stamped this main image using the Barely Beige Ink from SSS, and used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to do my coloring.  This is a unique look and different from any thing I've done before, but I think I like it!

Once I was completely done with my coloring, I set the panel aside to dry.  I did the rest of my die cutting, and die cut a piece of the Watercolor wash 6x6 papers from MFT, as well as a piece of Fog Card stock from SSS.  My card base is also Fog card stock.  This is a great neutral, and a great alternative to white.  

I went on and stamped out my sentiment from the Craft Friends stamp set from Altenew using the Lawn Fawn Jet Black ink.  I adhered everything onto my card base using either foam tape, or the Tonic Nuvo Glue (which I am testing out).  For final touches, I added some shimmer with the Clear Wink of Stella pen, and finished the inside by stamping the stamp rose image with Fog ink, and stamping another sentiment from the Altenew set.  

Overall, I think it turned out good, but I will continue to practice and see where my journey takes me with the No Line coloring technique.

Thanks for stopping by today!  All the supplies used are listed/linked below and the video is above if interested! Take care!

LSC #86 Watercoloring

Hello fans of Lawnscaping!  Welcome back to another new challenge!  We are focusing on the more than ever popular water coloring!  Do you like to water color?  For some it may be new, intimidating, or your favorite technique - either way - we'd like to see what you'd create!

Our sponsor is the super awesome Lawn Fawn!!  How awesome is that!?  Here is what I came up with for my project featuring water color.

I used the adorable mini set "Get Well Soon" by Lawn Fawn - I thought it would be cute and different to use the little band aid and spell out " Hi".  I used some of the Tim Holtz Water color paper and stamped all of my images in Staz On Ink since I was water coloring, and it is a water proof ink. I used Distress Inks to water color my background and birdie image.  I used Evergreen Bough, Wild Honey, Mustard Seed, and Worn Lipstick.  After I did my water coloring, and once it was dry, I die cut my piece with one of my Sizzix Circles Dies.  I thought the edge of the circle needed a bit of definition, so I added a bit of Black Soot to the edge, and it makes it stand out better against the Lawn Fawn card base I used - these are the Lawn Fawndamentals notecards - they are a 4 bar size which is 3 1/3 X 4 7/8. 

I added some Wink of Stella to my bird, and my "Hi" and added some glossy accents to the band aids.

Here is a closer look

Hopefully this card would perk any one up that was feeling under the weather :)  Be sure and play along!! There is a great prize to be won by Lawn Fawn!

See you soon!

Lawnscaping Challenge #45 - Dust 'em off!

I'm so happy its time for another Lawnscaping Challenge.  For this challenge, it is time to "dust 'em off" - use something in your stash you haven't used in a while.  That wasn't a problem for me at all.  Actually - there are several things in my craft room I haven't even used yet!  Mainly - because they are products that I am not sure of myself with, but you can't get the best use with them if you don't use them.

So - for my card - I used some of my mists and a mask that I hadn't used yet.  I just love this pattern of this mask.  I think overall - my panel came out pretty good.  I love blues and purples.  I used the set "Ornate Ornaments" from Lawn Fawn.  I wanted to keep this card fairly simple in design, because I knew the misted panel would be "busy".  

I took the smallest "twinkle" image, and stamped several times in VersaMark Ink, and heat embossed it using silver embossing powder.  I love watching silver embossing powder melt.  Something about it is just so soothing.  I also did the same with my sentiment "Be Merry" from LF set Pa-Rum-Pa-Pum-Pum. I die cut a scallop circle from my card panel, and  I popped up both the ornament, and the misted panel off of my card base which is Vintage Creme card stock from PaperTrey Ink.  I added silver Stickles to the ornament to tie in the silver cording at the top.  This marks my first holiday greeting card this season!!
