Today's Designer Spotlight discusses no-line coloring! This is the technique of stamping an image with a very light colored ink. When a coloring medium is added, the stamped outline vanishes, giving the look of no stamped outline on the image. Many artists on our team do a stunning job with no-line coloring, but today we are highlighting the work of Jennifer Rustioni with the November release.

Here are some tips and tricks, in Jennifer's own words:

Most of the no-line coloring cards I realize are made with colored pencils. I use Prismacolor Premier colored pencils that are wax-based. This means that these pencils perform very well and are very opaque, even on a colored card stock. Another medium that I love to use on colored card stock are pastel pencils. They are very different from colored pencils because they are very soft, almost like chalk. I use them when I want to give a soft effect to my work. I also like to make no-line coloring with Copic markers! The choice of coloring medium depends on the kind of effect I want to achieve.

I love using MFT card stock for my cards! The MFT No-line Coloring Card Stock is very good with alcohol markers, and the MFT colored card stocks are perfect to use with colored pencils and also with pastel pencils.

If I am working on colored card stock, I usually stamp the image with Distress Ink Picket Fence. This is a white, opaque ink that allows for a very defined stamping. On the other hand, if I am working on a white card stock, I use a very light ink, such as Memento Desert Sand Ink Pad or Stamp Market No-line Ink Pad.

Thank you Jennifer, for sharing your tips with us! Her cards today feature images from Winter Kittens, Yeti or Not, Snow Happy, and North Pole Pals.

If you haven't tried no-line coloring in the past, now is the perfect time to put some of Jennifer's great tips to the test!
