No Outline Watercolor

Hi friends

I have tried two cards with no outline watercolor technique as shown by Heather on this post here. I am hugely inspired by Sanketi and her lovely watercolor art pieces. Her tutorials are awesome and I have learnt a lot from her......so these cards are for sending some virtual hugs to the ever helpful Sanketi.

I have used the Simple Sunflower Mini stamp set by Papertrey Ink for stamping the flower and the sentiment on both the cards. The flowers and leaves are stamped directly with watercolors on the watercolor paper, different shades are used to highlight the colors. added some color splashes randomly and used a black micro tip pen to define shapes after the watercolors have dried. The sentiment is stamped with Memento Cottage Ivy. The panel is mounted on Black card stock. The card measures 8"x6".

The second card is also made using the same set of stamps and stamped with watercolors. The bird stamps are from some other set. This card has a diffused background and the details are added with a black micro tip and a white uni-ball pen. i liked the artsy/ folksy feel of this one too. I have mounted this panel on Ivory colored textured card stock.
