Hello Friends, What’s new? I can’t believe that the challenge is coming to a close next week! Oh MY!!! I always miss coloring daily when the challenge is over but, what I miss most is seeing what you are posting on my blog or Instagram. *sigh* Don’t worry we will do the challenge again š
Today this “Paris” stamp from Neat & Tangled was pulling my …color me heart strings. I love using Lawn Fawn’s “Stitched Party Banners” on a card base or as a shaped card. Sometimes I score the top of the banner & fold over it for a shaped card or cut the holes off.
I planned on a video but, forgot to press play š
To make it faster and easier Ā I used the same Copic marker colors as I did yesterday. (Listed below in the supply list) The tea cups were stamped in “Fog” ink on the background. My trusty THIN black marker was used to add some lines to the tea cups. Ā Did you catch my post from yesterday…the sweet giveaway?!
That is it for today and a super big thanks for your lovely visit today. Hugs, Kathy

Love! I need a cuppa now š And thank you for this challenge. Am excited to hear it will return – hopefully after you’ve had a bit of a break!
Your detail work is inspiring. I can’t thank you enough for all of your amazing comments on everyone’s Instagram posts and mine as well. Thank you for devoting so much time to encourage us to color and have fun. Grateful.
Now I want macarons for breakfast. Your card is gorgeous and your coloring is superb, as always š
This is awesome! Love love love this! I am sooooo glad you will have another challenge in the future. This was soooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun!
You are pretty much awesome : )
It sure seems like this month has flew by!
Such a cute card, and love the stitched banner.
Love the soft grey teacup stamped background! It makes the most beautiful matching card stock. Your shading is fabulous on this card. Looks yummy.
I love the outlining. I use that technique all of the time at the base of my image but really is WOW! all around it. I’ll definitely be trying that soon. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Kathy, You are so funny, forgot to press play…that made me giggle !! Beautiful card, as always, so talented. You probably get so tired of hearing how amazing and talented you are, huh? Wonder if I would, LOL. Have a great weekend and happy coloring all.
Such a fun design, Kathy. With all that’s going on at my end right now, I really don’t have the energy to get creative, but last night I did grab a few markers and started colouring some of the cups and umbrellas from the OCC Copics class and that helped me to relax a bit. The beauty of these sheets is that it’s just for practising, so there’s no stress to produce any great results to publish on my blog or send out on a card. š

I LOOOOVE how you put this card together Kathy! AND you colored it PERFECTLY! I left you a comment over at Neat & Tangled too! (Something different from what I wrote here.) š SUCH INSPIRATION is INVALUABLE!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS KATHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! š
A great card. Really enjoying the daily coloring and seeing what everyone does. Happy to hear there will be another one in the future. Thank you.
Kathy, another beautiful and inspirational offering to aspire to. The 30 day challenge came at the perfect time. While officially it will come to a close, no one should ever stop doing something they love (coloring, card making, doodling, etc) for themselves, each and every day. That is the true lesson you have taught me during the last 26 days. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ~M~
Mari, I’m so happy you got the true lesson of this challenge. You are so welcome and keep finding that time just for you. š
Oh how sweet. š
What a fun image, I really need to try some macaroons, I see them everywhere but have yet to have one! Love your added line work, it adds so much interest!
They are delicious…..coconut and cream!
Ooh, that sounds divine!! Will have to try some very soon! š
So beautiful! Love to see your colouring!
I love your card – the cups are colored so cute and the bows but my favorite is the Ooh La La (sp?) Love it!
Just perfect! Love the inspiration!
Another beautiful card! I too shall miss the daily coloring! Thanks for all your kind comments about my coloring, the pastels I’ve been using are from the stencil collection, which I purchased many years ago at a scrapbook convention. I just tried to google them, maybe they’ve gone out of business. I’m going to try to find some more non-smear pastels, I really like how they look.
Very pretty! Now I am hungry!! I think I will be taking lots of photos later today and posting my creations for the month over the weekend! My wonderful hubby has purchased me a new Kindle Fire HDX so that I have a camera again!! Isn’t he the greatest? I think so!
Barb, WOW how loving of your husband to know just what you needed in the nick of time. Look forward to your posts. š
So disappointed! I researched the Kindle Fire HDX before getting it to make sure that I could use the Instagram app with it but didn’t see the part that says that you CANNOT POST TO INSTAGRAM with it. It is read only! !I am LIVID! Seriously thinking of returning it and getting another ipod instead!! I am now back in the same boat I was in before! UGH!!
This is adorable! Love the design and colors. To bad š you forgot to press play š
Love how you used the same stamp in a light grey color for the background..amazing card!
What a fabulous and yummy card! Love that gorgeous oversized banner, the scrumptious colors, and that beautiful gingham ribbon!
Your cookies look good enough to eat Kathy. lol Thanks for sharing this sweet card with us.
Very lovely colouring again, Kathy! I’ve loved every day of your colouring month – thank you so much, Jo x
Yum! I LOVE macaroons. Your cool display of goodies here makes me want this treat….tea included. š
Love how this turned out – so very cool and full of gorgeous color and vibrant coloring!!
Oooo what fun, rich colors!! Great card today!!
loving the videos
Yum what a great card. You do make me laugh Kathy…forgot to press play, thats so something I would do. Don’t worry I know I am going to miss you with my daily updates too. Still can look forward to the next one. xo
This card is very sweet! Love the stack of cookies with the tea in front. And the ribbon too. And the background stamping. Ha! Thanks for sharing.

Oh my gosh, I so totally love the colors! I love how you cut them out and I know you didn’t use scissors. I wish I could afford to get one of those machines that make the die cuts. I got an e-mail from a company that has a new one and it looks amazing! The min. I got it home though I’d have trouble with it and then I wouldn’t know anybody who could fix it, never mind the fact that I probably would have trouble operating it. I don’t do well with directions. What a really nice card, again, as usual.
Beautiful card Kathy I was thinking that it is already 26 where has it gone. Lol always fun and glad there will be a third time:)
Hi Kathy, As always another lovely card, those biscuits look O so nice to eat, and with a cuppa or two to go. Cheers Anna.
This is gorgeous, Kathy! I always love your copic coloring. Thanks so much for the 30 day challenge. ((Crafty Hugs))
STUNNING, STUNNING coloring job!! I’m totally in awe.
The coloring is wonderful! Love that stack of cups!
Wonderful card. What a beautiful stamp to color and your colors are perfect. I love Sunflowers too.
Love the soft stamped background & the whole awesome card!
Such a beautiful card. One of these days, I am really gonna have to make an effort to find a macaroon and try it. Just not very easy to do where I live. ^_^ (maybe I will attempt to make my own) Thanks so much for sharing.

Love this design, great colouring.
Sweet card, Kathy! Love the colorful way you made the image pop!
Your coloring always seems to jump off the page! I love how you do that!
Ooh, looks yummy. Gorgeous colours. Hugz
I really love doing the tangling and adding color along with the designs. It really makes the tangles pop so much more than just shading. Thanks again dear I enjoy your challenges more than any other artist.
