No Lines!!!!!!!

There's a current craze for colouring images without the harsh black lines by stamping the image in paler colours. Zoe over at Make It Crafty was the first person I saw doing this technique and it looked amazing. She then very kindly offered a freebie digi image (via her Facebook Group) which she has already opaqued, so we could try it out. Here is my attempt

What do you think?
Now I look at the photo I can see I need to blend the pinks more on the flowers, must have been distracted lol!  Here is a closer look

 The papers are Basic Grey Urban Prairie, seniment is Whimsy Stamps.The sentiment is cut out using teh Whimsy Ticket Die
I am entering this into the following challenges
Basic Grey - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp - sketch
Papertake Weekly - use die cut
Digital Tuesday - cute and girly

think I prefer colouring with the more defined lines, I need lots more practice. Off to do some blending with those flowers
I would love to hear your comments, have a good weekend
