Video: No-Line Watercoloring the Togetherness Flower Bouquet

Hi, Friends! It's Caly with you today sharing a card made using the Togetherness Flower Bouquet . I love this large floral cluster and thought it would be great for no-line watercoloring. I have a video on the Hero Arts YouTube channel if you'd like to check it out!

(If you are having trouble viewing this video, please try watching it HERE on YouTube.)

To start, I used the Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink to condition my stamp set before inking it up with Antique Linen Distress Ink. Then I used Daniel Smith Watercolors to paint my image.

I used the following Daniel Smith Watercolor paints for my image today: Permanent Violet, Quinacridone Fuchsia, Carbazole Violet, Deep Sap Green, Undersea Green, Hooker’s Green, Quinacridone Gold.

After watercoloring, I splattered my panel with the Quinacridone Gold and white paint. After drying completely with a heat tool, I trimmed my watercolor panel and stamped the sentiment.

To finish, I mounted it over Sand cardstock using foam adhesive for added dimension. I hope you enjoyed this card. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Caly, I so enjoyed watching your video. I’ve always been intrigued by the “no line” water coloring term…I’m coming to understand it a bit more….the card is beautiful…

Barbara-Jean,

Your watercoloring was lovely and wish I could accomplish that. I never heard that tip about using the embossing ink to condition a stamp. Good tip. Thanks for sharing your lovely ideas.

Patricia Wilson,

So beautiful!!

Cindy C.,

Absolute beautiful Caly! Thank you so much for your great video turorial and beautiful inspiration. Have a great day.

Henriëtte,

Hi Caly, Your card is beautiful, and I enjoyed your video. Love the large floral stamps because all the masking is done for me! Thank you for showing your no line coloring process. I see you skipped around when painting so I’m guessing we should do that in order to allow the paint to dry before coloring the adjoining petal. Thanks for the helpful tips!
