Hi everyone. This month at CAS Mix Up September Challenge is a Watercolour Challenge and we are asking for Sunflowers. :) I used the no line watercolouring technique with diluted distress reinkers.
I started by stamping my image (Radiant from Penny Black) onto cold press w/c paper using Brushed Corduroy Distress ink (light touch). I used my diluted distress inks to paint the image, using the faintly stamped outline as a guide. It worked great.
When the image was dry, I added some splatters in dark brown. I finished the card by stamping a sentimnt (Spring Sentiments - Stampendous) in Ground Espresso DOX ink.

Wow. Amazingly beautiful no-line watercoloring. Truly stunning, Loll! A work of art!
WOW!!! Unique! Your watercolor is perfect and truly stunning. I love how you added wet brown paint to the center of the sunflower, drawing delicate brown lines into the petals. I love this card; it's so unique!
with love,

Fab artsy watercoloured sunflower Loll. At long last my perennial sunflowers are perking up after the rain we've had the last week! :)
That technique makes your sunflower look hand painted, Loll, which I'm sure you could do too.
Love that big, beautiful sunflower Loll. Great job watercoling it.
Beautifully done, Loll! Your no-line watercolouring is fabulous!
Your no-line watercolouring is brilliant Loll, and I love the loose way you have painted it with, and the brown spatters and sentiment finish it beautifully. x
Such a beautiful painterly sunflower, Loll!
