Hello Friends, Happy weekend to you. Today I am sharing some good old fashioned coloring. Woo Hoo!
Have you heard of the stamp company called, “Your Next Stamp“? They have some fun stamps to color and I love their style. To create my scene I had fun combining a few stamp sets along with some masking. The stamp sets I am using are Little Darling, Happy Meal, & Jessica with Cupcakes
This is almost finished …. it’s calling for a background and a sentiment. Maybe I will hang it on the fridge to remind me to eat healthy even though these particular foods aren’t in my rotation.
I hope you find this useful even if it’s kinda backwards 😉
Tomorrow’s post will have lots of winners and my feature “It’s All About You”. Enjoy your day. Hugs, Kathy
P.S. I fixed the problem for the giveaway yesterday. I think I got to everyone and added your name to the list. If you just gave up I promise it’s working now. Sorry for the trouble.
Day 4. my mixed media
Day 4. Distress Ink Watercoloring & Giveaway

What fun coloring.. I am always in awe of your coloring ~ it makes me smile! have a super weekend! hugs, Pam
I was very sorry not to be able to follow all your work , but I am staying with friends and not have internet . But when I could see , of course , I ‘ve loved .
The latter , bottle of soda , burger and the girl with the archo is fabulous and fun.
The process of coloring the bottle is extremely impressive, i I’ve been shocked by the amount of work that…
Again, my congratulations for their dedication to teach this beautiful and complex world of cards ” well done ” professionals.
Wow..Lots of masking on this card !! I loved the combination of stamps to create a fun scene !
Hello Kathy :o) Another amazing card from you!! Love the design, how you stamped the scene and colored it. :o) hugs
This is so cute! I love the little archer – kinda like Merida! I need to check out this company 🙂 Your scene is so good. Have been loving the challenge and so sad it is nearly over :(, but looking forward to the next one! Xx
Ha! You’re right about this belonging on the fridge! What a great scene you’ve created. Love the little maiden character. I’ve never heard of this company. You’ve done them a big favour by mentioning them.
Thank you for fixing yesterday’s link, I thought it was just me with a brain cramp. Also I like your coloring tute today. They way you photographed and showed the images in step by step was very helpful. Have a great day
That’s amazing that you’re showcasing their stamps today bc my card that I’m working on is inspired by their color challenge on their blog!
Love seeing all the steps on your cardmaking today too!!!
Thanks again for this challenge. I’ve been having so much fun 🙂
YNS is one of my favorite companies that I recently found. Love your pretty “in the works” card. I love how you do the shadows – awesome!
(And I was one who had trouble adding my name to the link yesterday but I just added my flickr url instead of a blog I don’t have and that worked! I was determined to be on the list! lol).
I love your little scene! I have been playing along Kathy…but sometimes I just get a few images colored and don’t get time for a card to “finish” it off. Then somedays I get the card done and maybe just a couple images colored, doesn’t seem Instagram worthy. I’ll post what I did this week instead of just a bitty bit here and there 😀 Just wanted you to know there are those of us playing even though we may not be sharing it every single time!
This is awesome, Kathy, love her red hair!!!
Yes, I am a big fan of Your Next Stamp! Love your gorgeous colouring!
Amazing coloring Kathy and this card is just too adorable!!!
Great card!! LOVE the food! Looks like a great meal to enjoy! I love that you took the time to show a step by step photo tutorial for the coloring of this! So glad that I follow you because you never fail to bring a smile to my face!
The best way to start my day is with a cup of coffee and reading a post from you! 🙂
Wow beautiful card!!! Thank you for sharing how you created it, so helpful!!
Love that untraditional shooting range! : )
This is so sweet Kathy. I love Your Next Stamp! If anyone hasn’t tried them, they should. They stamp beautifully and their dies are great as well! (They are one of my fav. companies!)
Thanks for adding my name yesterday and not to worry, it was no trouble, just thought it was me and my lack of technical computer skills! LOL
I hope you have a great weekend!
How cute!
Always amazed with your work. Very talented.
Love the coloring on the card. Some really sweet images on your card. Thanks for sharing.
Really cute archery scene! Nice coloring of course!
This is so cute. I visited the “Your Next Stamp” site and they do have very cute stamp sets. Thanks.
I think this is some good coloring and masking! Thanks for this 30 day challenge. I have tried some coloring techniques out side my usual so thanks for the push. C
You make things look so easy
So cute and nice coloring.
Hi Kathy, thanks for all the great tips and techniques.
I love your coloring of the stamp images from a company I have been hearing about! Must investigate their images. I love how you depicted your coloring sequence, couldn’t find a phrase for it, but it is like a tutorial! Thanks for sharing.
What a cute card. I love the masking job you did and, as always, the fabulous coloring. I can’t believe the challenge is almost over. It’s amazing how fast it goes. Are you planning a new one? I’ll be on board.
Awesome coloring, as usual. I have never heard of this stamp company before.
Beautiful archer girl. Definitely reminds me of a “Brave” film….. Your coloring always amazes me. I hope that I can grow my skills using your great examples and instructions . Thank you so very much for sharing your time, talent and knowledge.
Gorgeous coloring! Thank you so much for all the inspiration!
Now that is about the cutest scene yet and such fun. That is a great reminder as well. I love it!
As always, your scene is darling, Kathy! Thanks for sharing your process of coloring with us! I can’t believe it’s the 27th already…WOW!
So cute!
I LOVE your sweet scene and of course your coloring is amazing! Thank you for showcasing YNS and for the step by step picture tutorial :o)
Kathy thank you for adding my name yesterday. For the life of me I couldn’t find what I was doing incorrect. Anyway, this challenge has so been unbelievable . When you can have fun, learn new things and see so many talented people showcasing their skills. And have a chance at some great prizes to win. What more could you ask for. Thank you for all the time you have put into this. You r an amazing lady, God bless .
This reminds me of the Disney character from Brave – it is cute and I love the fridge idea! At least you know you will smile each time you open it 🙂
What a really cute scene you made. Wonderful coloring as always. Beautiful. Have a Great weekend!
Definitely reminds me of Merida, too cute!!
As always, a great coloring tutorial. thanks,
Fabulous job! Love the picture tutorial for the masking you did. I may have to pick up some new supplies to try out 😉
Very fun. I like their cute stamps.
I love how you did a step by step tutorial. It’s just adorable and the coloring is fabulous! Take care, Kim:)
Love the sweet scene you’ve created, Kathy. I haven’t been able to get a lot of colouring done this month, for lack of time and energy, but at least I tried…

What a CUTE resolutions creation! Fantastic coloring!
What a lovely card, and great scene for a dieter!
It is awesome! Thank you for going through all the trouble of making this photo mosaic!
I have really enjoyed your coloring and mine following along. I have left a comment almost every day and enjoyed learning from all these talented professionals. Thank you!
Love your acherer,
so cute and lovely
colors.

I love this stamp company . I’ve purchased a couple of stamps from them but it’s been long ago.Great fun Kathy
Oh how this post made me smile! Great coloring as always! I love your work!
Very cute card. I wish there were more examples of masking to learn from that is one area I get so mixed up with for some reason. Thanks for sharing these photos maybe I can keep referring to them in the future.
It turned out soooo cute!!!
What an enabler! I’ll be checking out their site! Love your card!
Beautiful cards and beautiful coloring.
I love this card. It is so cute. The coloring, as usual, is awesome and it really impresses me when people do all that masking!
Your process always fascinates me. It looks like it took forever. I’m not sure that image would have the intended consequences if I left it up on my refrigerator. I’d take it as a personal challenge to see what goody I could hit with my arrow and claim as a treat. I love her hair and the shadows you put under her and the stump.
Beautiful…I’ve never tried masking. Gonna give it a shot. Thanks for the inspiration. Vi*
Hey Kathy!! I haven’t been able to comment lately because it kept telling me all fields required and I was like…um…yeah I have it all filled out. Lol!! But I’m glad it’s working again. These stamps look so sweet and putting it on your fridge as a reminder, girl, that was too funny:)
Kathy wonderful colouring. you have highlighted some unbelievable stamp sets in this challenge. Cant believe its coming to an end. Its been brilliant.
Super cute stamps and coloring. Wouldn’t have given the backward-ness a second thought had you not mentioned it.
Your colouring is out of this world!!!! Eve n with tiny images like these!! By the way… I feel hungry now!!
Really neat scene and love your coloring.
This is a lovely and adorable scene, Kathy, and there was so much work involved. How did you make time for everything? You are an amazing woman! x
That is some killer masking. And well, the coloring too, but that’s what we love about you!
Amazing coloring! This challenge had been so much fun. Thank you for every thing you do!
I am new to stamping and have never actually done any masking. You make it look so easy. Thanks for all the tips!
Love you and ALL the time and effort you put into each of these challenges! Never worry about the “Giveaways”…You work far too hard to worry and we all truly understand!
Thanks for another wonderful series…I’m just bummed that I am not been able to keep up!!
Hugs,
Lisa
I love this card and how you colored it. I bow to your awesome coloring! LOL I’ve been coloring and making cards for the Winnie & Walter contest. I’ve only just discovered this company so I don’t have any of their stamps. However, they have free downloads and I’ve been using them! I hope I win! How cool would that be? I think I’ve posted some of them here. I will post the rest of them so you can see what I have been creating. What’s great about this contest is I am also in a card making group so these cards are going to someone in the group! I have just killed 2 birds with one stone! I like stuff like that.
I have to check out the company that made your new stamps because I really like them. Until I met you and went on your site along with some other sites, I didn’t know all these stamp companies existed. Thanks for helping with my obsession! LOL
Love your coloring Kathy! I am always interested to see what you are coloring up! And yes YNS is a great stamp company whom I have had the pleasure of designing for …. they have the cutest stamps!
Hugs,
Jo

THANK YOU for sharing your INKY AWESOMENESS Kathy 🙂
I have been stamping and look forward to getting some REAL masking paper … I made some of my own to tide me over for the moment using a light smear of Tombow Mono Multi on the back of some copy paper, not the best when it comes to blending around it it but OK for direct stamping on top of it.
Very beautiful card! Awesome coloring. Even shadows are made perfectly!
You color so good. Cute card
What a great card! Totally adding Your Next Stamp to my list of companies to try! Thanks for sharing!
