Marleen DT - A take on No Line Colouring.

Hello Bloggers
And welcome.

Today I want to share a take on "No Line" colouring.
As per usual I have used stamps from Colourific, and this time I used the
Hydrangeas set.
Its a technique I love the look of but just never got the hang off. I'm not a whizz at colouring in anymore, simply because I stopped doing it as it was so time consuming. Instead I now use watercolours as I love the look and also as its so much faster than markers.

 

Anyway. I was playing the other day and decided I wanted my flowers to be colourful, so I stamped the flowers with Distress Oxide inks. It looked pretty but I wanted more colour so I went ahead and used the same colour inks as the stamped lines, to colour with. I simply pressed the ink pad on to my craft mat and used a water brush to colour in with.

The oxide ink leaves an oxidiced look to the colours.. hence the name I'm guessing lol, but it gives the colouring a bit more life. As I used the same colour the lines blure into the colouring.

It was an easy way to achive the look but I also believe its may be a good starting point to really learn this technique.

If you missed my YOUTUBE from last week, also using stamps from Colourific,  pop over HERE to watch it.

And dont forget to come and visit us in the Colourific FACEBOOK GROUP. We have a monthly "Anything goes" (open to all stamps) challenge with a prize donated form Colourific.
And that is all from me for today.

Happy Campervan

Hi everyone,

It's my turn to post my first card as a member of the Colourific Design Team.  I've called my card Happy Campervan because it reminds me of a holiday I had in one when I was young and everyone I know that has a campervan absolutely loves it.  It would make a great birthday card for a 17 year old as they are now old enough to learn to drive.

Materials used:

7 x 7 Card blank
Stamping card
Campervan stamp pack
Versafine Black Onyx
Wow clear embossing powder
Christine Pooler ink pad minis - Party Collection
Silver and black watercolour paint
Glossy Accents
Button from my stash
3D foam Pads
Gems
Uniball Signo white gel pen

Here's how I made it:

To make my card, I stamped and embossed the campervan onto a piece of stamping card using an Onyx Black Versafine ink pad and clear embossing powder.  

I coloured the image in using Christine Pooler Mini ink pads with silver and black watercoloured paint.  

Then cut out the image and added glossy accents to the lights, gems to the indicators, a button as the badge and added a little white pen as a highlight. Then let it dry - walk away!!!!

For the backing I stamped the medium flower onto a piece of 6.x 6" stamping card to make a border.

I mounted the background onto a wine coloured card and then onto the white card base.  The campervan is adhered to the card by using a combination of 3D foam and 3D glue gel.

Finally, I stamped and cut out the number plate and the Happy Birthday sentiment and used a 3D foam pad to give them extra dimension.

The campervan stamp set contains 22 stamps in total and can be bought on the Colourific site here along with many more beautiful stamps.

Hope you like it, have fun!
