With all the no line watercoloring going on on all the blogs in these days I knew I wanted to try this technique, too! And I wanted to challenge myself to make an one layer card because I still struggle with them. I ended up with a second layer for my cardbase because I didn't wanted to waste my watercolor paper! But it is nearly an one layer card and Iwanted to share some tipps and tricks with you on the way!

- Mask of a part of the card in an angle for the sentiment.
- Cut masks of the flowers and leafes.
- Stamp the flowers and leafes in a light shade. Use your mask for some overlapping!
- Color the flowers.
- Pull away the mask and stamp the sentiment.
- Assemble the card.

- For achieving dimension on an one layer card masking is a fantastic technique. You can use masking paper, post its or thin paper with removable adhesive for your masks.
- Don't only use masking for the motifs but also for a place for your sentiment!
- For more intrest add embossing lines. Hope you can see them in the detail photo!
- For no line watercoloring it is very important to color one area at a time! Always let it dry first before you move on to the next area!
