Hand Drawn Blooms & No Line Stamping Watercolour

 Another make using Hand Drawn Blooms and the No Line Stamping Technique...

You know the one... Inkup and stamp in a very pale colour so that the lines "disappear" when you add your colour... which works particularly well when watercolouring as you end up looking like a fantastic artist that can draw superbly! I used Gray Granite ink...

I used the Watercolor Pencils for the watercolouring as it has been a while since I had those out... just a scribble here and there and then pulled out using a Blender Pen... perfect mediums for watercolouring these small floral images and for adding colour to the stalks and sprays... And so many colours for such a small price...

Finished off with Daffodil Delight Ruched ribbon... with an illusion of the ribbon being tied around the stalks and then into a bow.... which is how you would do it naturally

So a straightforward small bow... which is stuck (with a Mini Glue Dot) on top of a small piece of ribbon that is pushed through either side of the stalks... as I cut a small slit either side of the stalks and pushed a small piece (only about 1") of the ribbon through before I stuck the panel onto the Balmy Blue mat....

Greeting from So Sentimental (have to admit that this greetings set is still getting a really good workout...)

And here are the No Line Stamping Hand Drawn Blooms duo... the other one being coloured in using Stampin Blends... click here for the rest of the details on that one (with or without the gnome!)

Simple Saturday - Where's Gnome-y?

Now you see him... now you don't...

I couldn't resist adding my new little Gnome for the Holidays buddy to another garden scene creation... 

This time using the Hand Drawn Blooms stamp set... Masking off the bottom section (about a 1/4 of the height) 

No line stamping technique using Gray Granite for a hand drawn effect... along with Stampin Blends for colouring... the pinks, the purples and the blues this time... and a very light sponging of Balmy Blue whilst the mask was on the bottom section too...

Though again I wish I had used the Tasteful Textile embossing folder to increase the watercolour effect...

Cute! With or without the gnome...

 Comprising the Hand Drawn Blooms stamps...

 With the Budding Blooms dies... love love love these!!

 And look... Rainbow Glimmer paper (can't believe you missed this Jane!)

 And the gorgeous Adhesive Backed Sequins... always love these at the centre of a flower... and scattered around haphazardly (or to cover boo boos!!)
