No line coloring technique

I've been seeing a lot of this "no line coloring" technique on the interwebs lately, so I thought we'd give it a try.  The very short version is - you stamp your out-line image in Sahara Sand - STAMPED OFF ONCE - then color it in.

You could also use Crumb Cake, or Smoky Slate...any light beige-ish or gray-ish color.

Next is coloring.  I used some of the new Watercolor Pencils Assortment #2 on this card.  You can use ANY coloring medium that you want - colored pencils, Blends markers, regular markers, chalks, reinker with aqua painters, ink pads with aqua painters.  

I am not very good at coloring.  Never have been.  That's okay.  What I did here is outlined everything with the watercolor pencil.  Then color a bit more on one side.

Then I swiped the color around/to the right with a Blender pen.  

You can see that the lines are mostly transparent once you color. 

Give it a try!
