Thanks for being my friend : Color without outlines

Hello! It's Lexa here!
Today I'm going to show you a card I made. I'm trying new technique to color the image without outlines. 

First, I stamped the image's second generation stamping technique using Ranger's Distess Ink Scattered Straw.
Then I watercolored it with Distress Markers for the image, and Kuretake Gansai Tambi for the background.

I add some thin lines for the outline using Distress Markers as shadow, just to make it more clear. 


I made a stripe border using Kraft paper leftover and random stamped the bone and cute paws to make my own patterned paper.

I hope this one will inspire you to try this new technique! Have a good saturday!
