Not sure if I've quite got the concept but I did get a useable image on my card and my niece will be thrilled with it. Stamped my image in Whisper Grey which is barely more than white on white. Took a deep breath and added color with wild abandon . . .I could barely see where the lines were so figured no one else would know if I'd "stayed in the lines" or not . . . Once my gal was somewhat recognizable it was on to the sky and ground - I must say I had trepidations of adding color to those larger expanses but in the end I do like how they turned out.

You may have been trepidatious about doing this, but WOW! You did a fabulous job! I have always wanted to try no line coloring but have been a total chicken. You have inspired me to give it a try.

You know, I like the larger expanses when I am watercoloring. Great job and what a special, very pretty card for your niece. Glad you jumped in on the challenge.

Oh you should be smiling after doing this card. It is outstanding. Not only your image but the bg and how you grounded her. Great job on the challenge. TFS

Pat yourself on the back and put a big smile on your face, Linda!!! This is beautiful and beautifully done. if I didn't know it was a stamp, I'd think you sketched and painted it.

Linda, when I saw the pose of your young lady, I immediately thought of the iconic photo of Marilyn Monroe which is very similar. Your card is fabulous!
