Good morning! A couple weeks ago I posted a sneak on Instagram at this attempt at no-line watercoloring. I DEFINITELY feel like this is an area I want to spend a lot more time practicing. Honestly, it's one of those things that feels like I will never get, so I don't spend much time trying? But...I'm determined to keep putting some effort into it and try to get better!
This card uses an adorable image from Simon Says Stamp, and my newly purchased Karin Markers - another thing I am working on learning to master - haha!
I used a super cute image from the Bunny Wishes stamp set, stamped it with Antique Linen distress ink, then used my Karin Markers to slowly color it in. I spent a good long while on it - and for the most part, I was fairly happy with the results. My main regret is that I feel like I rushed to add the details on the face before it had 100% dried - so they smudged a bit. I tried to fix it with a fine line detail maker, then it felt too dark. Then I added some details with a white gel pen...and I think that made it even worse! Sometimes it is so hard to know when to stop! Haha! :)
Once it dried, I die cut the panel using Wonky Rectangles dies, and added a sentiment from Lifting Hearts stamp set, then mounted it on some pattern paper from Lawn Fawn, and adhered to a top folding A2 cardbase.
How about you? Is there a technique that you struggle with? Have you continued to try and not give up?!?
