No line water colored summer roses

Hi everyone! I tried my hand at no line water coloring! It's not as easy as the talented designers on Instagram make it look. I went through several colors of ink before settling on Antique Linen distress ink. I think there are inks on the market that are made just for this technique, I don't have any, but if you have any recommendations leave me a comment.

This gorgeous image is from the Floral Cluster Summer Roses stamp set from Stamp Simply Clear Stamps. I used my Arteza brush pens to color them and after they dried, I went over the centers with a touch of white gel pen. The coloring process took quite a long time, so I kept the card layout pretty simple. Just a strip of patterned paper and a piece of embossed cardstock with a few pearls and string as embellishments. 

I kept the sentiment a simple hello to allow the pretty flowers to take center stage.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
