Summer time

 A cardmaking friend sent this stamped image to me many years ago, sorry I don't know the name of it but she wrote on the back no line coloring image. I have never been happy with any of my no line coloring I have done in the past and I thought I really need to give this a try, if it doesn't work out I will just throw it away. Well I ended up being very happy with the way it turned out, so off it went to my great niece who is turning 2.

The image only had the little girl on the towel so I added in the sand, coloring with markers and then adding small brown dots with a fine line sharpie. Added a sun die with a stamped sentiment and some die cut grass to finish it off.


  • stamped image from cardmaking friend, no line coloring, using markers
  • Spellbinders - Wavy rectangles die
  • My mind's eye - Summer papers
  • Impression Obsession - small grass die
  • Diamond Press, Advent calendar - sun die
  • Taylored Expressions - Many Mini's Occasions sentiment stamp

I would like to share my card with Just us Girls Challenge  Summer



Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Oh how cute is this! Your coloring turned out great! My no line coloring has never been good. Maybe I should try again too. I love how you made sand too.

I love how you brought this no line colored image to life with the soft shading, the added sand details, and the bright summer elements like the sun and grass because the whole scene feels warm and playful and makes a perfect cheerful card for a little one.

Your no-line coloring of this adorable image is top notch, Connie! The sand you drew in and the added beach grass are perfect, and love the pretty polka dot background. Super great idea to put the sentiment in the little sun, too!

I'd be very happy with it too if I were you. You did a great job with the no line stamping. And nice touch with adding the sand, it gave it more dimension. Your card is just too cute!
