No-line colouring and Uncle Ivan's birthday card

My crafty New Year's resolution this year was to try some new techniques, so I thought I'd have a go at no-line colouring. Hmmmm. I don't think it's for me, I think I prefer the black lined version! I kinda wish I'd picked an image to practice on that didn't take a couple of hours to actually colour in though!

Word Art Wednesday #422-423 - anything goes

This one was a nice wee quickie for my Uncle in Canada, minimal colouring required! I've used one of my doggies from Tim Holtz (of course I chose the 'Ruby' one!) and the MFT porthole die. Silver stars and line stickers from stash. Clear gloss added to the dog's nose and eyes, and sparkle to the collar.

I even got a special (large) stamp and some new water color pencils, which I'm hoping will make it a bit easier. We'll see. Your doggie card is great. Those TH dogs always bring a smile to my face. Hope you're having a good weekend.; Saturday, 25 January, 2020
