Easy No-Line Watercolor + 30 Day Coloring Challenge Blog Hop!
Hello to all our creative, coloring friends! It’s Nina-Marie here with you today, as I am going to be sharing some easy, no-line watercolor inspiration with you. I’ll be featuring some of our Simon exclusive sets, including the ever popular, Even More Spring Flowers stamp set!
Today’s inspiration is also part of Kathy Racoosin’s 30 Day Coloring Challenge blog hop. But this isn’t just any blog hop… this is celebrating her 10th CHALLENGE! TEN! Can you believe that? We are SO excited for Kathy, and love how she encourages all of us to color and relax, even if it is only for just a short amount of time. WAY TO GO KATHY!
Here’s a look at the card I have colored and created for the blog hop! While this card appears extremely detailed, and even perhaps a bit challenging, I’m here to tell you that it is really quite easy! If you watch the video below, I’ll walk you through the steps and show you that YOU can do this too.
All of the flowers in my scene are from our Simon exclusives, More Spring Flowers and Even More Spring Flowers. I stamped each one with colored inks that coordinate with the watercolor shades I planned on using. Speaking of watercolors, I used Prima’s watercolor confections. However, you can use whatever watercolors you would like for this technique.
I’ve needed thank you cards lately, so I’m adding more to my stash by using our Simon exclusive, Big Thanks word die, which is paired with a supporting sentiment from My Favorite Things’ Grateful for You stamp set. I cut the thanks word from Tonic Studios mirror cardstock.
Please be sure to watch the video to see how creating a card like this can actually be rather simple! And keep on reading for more details on this fantastic, 30 Day Coloring Challenge blog hop!

Another gorgeous card! I’m so happy for Kathy too, I’m participating in her challenge and have done so several times. Not all 10, missed the first couple because I didn’t know about it. I often prescribe coloring as an exercise for many of my clients, it’s great for your health!

Wow! Nina Marie, I always love seeing your creations but this one is fantastic. I love it so very much and can’t wait to give this a go, maybe on a bit smaller scale, lol.

Beautiful! But I don’t believe it’s as easy as it looks. Nina throws in a giant dose of talent!
What a gorgeous card!
OMG! This is STUNNING! Love the look of no line colouring with color pencil details. This may be my favourite Nina card, but then again there’s been so many. Love this! xx
I’m still a little intimidated by no-line coloring, though I enjoy coloring/painting with my stamps every other way, so I guess I should get over it and give it a try, right? :)
The colouring in this card is just lovely!
Your card is stunning Nina!!! I love how you arranged your florals and your colours have so much depth…really beautiful. Thank you for the awesome tutorial too!
Wow! Amazing card! Very beautiful coloring.
Wow!!! This is Amazing!!!! Your coloring is Fabulous!!!
Absolute beautiful! I love the look of the no-line watercoloring. You make it look so easy, but I know it’s not. Thank you for showing the process in the tutorial.
Well my jaw dropped when I saw this amazing no-line water coloring!! I guess I could keep practicing, but not sure I’d ever attain this kind of awesome coloring!!
That is an amazing card! Did it take you hours to create in real time? The flowers all came out so beautifully. You are an amazing talent Nina-Marie!
Absolutely stunning!
