What great images to colour! Love that you used your coffee to colour with. I went over to Sandy’s blog and commented. She’s got a Valentine video up. Funny thing is it has a Canada Post box on it and there’s talk of them striking here.
Love this card. Thanks for sharing.
Wow! That’s incredible! Have to try! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks so much. I really appreciate you posting just let them know I’m not crazy. LOL 🙂
Eek! Love this. Kind of looks like my office, haha.
I just watched your video and wow, I never knew you could use coffee to watercolor with, I love the effect it made with your coloring. I also want to thank you for encouraging us to try different mediums for the challenge, I’m having so much fun coloring each day whether with my copics, zig markers, or watercoloring.
Fabulous It makes my day to hear that people are experimenting and finding time fir themselves. Thank you for being part of the coloring challenge. 🙂
Such a sweet scene, Kathy. Hopping over to Sandy’s place now before spending a litle time colouring … finally!
Awesome watercoloring!
WOW! You used coffee to colour! In awe! Went over to Sandy’s and had another round of AWE! Commented on her blog and now following her on instagram! Thank you for pointing us in her direction; she, like you, is a talent!

I love your colouring!! it looks great!
I adore this delightful beauty!!
How cool! Thanks for sharing☺️
Wow, great card! Love the stamp set!
I honestly would not have thought of painting with coffee!!!! I love the softness of the colours and am grateful for the tutorial, it so inspires me…Thanks, from the land down under…..
What a great card! And I bet it smells good too! Thank you for introducing me to Sandy.
Fantastic!
LOVE that you actually used coffee to paint with!! I use old coffee grounds as dirt in my mini scenescapes that I create but have never used it to paint with! That will change today though! Thanks for the inspiration!!
I left Sandy some love on her blog!
It is such a joy to watch you color ! I like your watercolored scene. Thank you for the inspiration and I need to check out 3 room studio !
You make it look so easy! Thanks!
Pure Awesomeness!!!!!! I love all the details of building a scene, I have done things like this but mostly florals. These stamps are a must for me and I’m heading over to Sandy’s after I get my STARBUCKS, lol!!!
Thanks so much for all you do and I don’t feel bad if you can’t answer my comments because you have thousands and you are only one person and be yourself Kathy!
We all love what you are doing to the COLORING world.
Hugs!
)AWWW thanks! 🙂
Love coloring with coffee. Your card is awesome, and so are the stamps. Thanks for sharing.
wow what a fun idea
I went to sandy blog , how to see a stamp of her and then see it on her husbands watch. The modern world. Kathy I can’t imagine getting all you get done and still have time to read our comments. Thank you so much.
I never would’ve thought to use coffee to color. Neat idea!
Wow I love this card, I love these two sets that you have combined. I don’t do a lot of critter scenes, I really love scenes like these. And your watercolouring is lovely – so soft. Such a fun set to colour as there are a really good mix of areas and different things that require different colours! Thanks for the video Kathy, you know we think you are awesome, so never apologise for not replying to comments, you are a busy woman, and we know that! xxx
PS – already follow Sandy on IG, and saw that image the other day, totally blew my mind – amazing colouring!
I’ve heard of tea dying but never using coffee; i just love you Kathy-you brighten my day!
Wonderful coloring–so fun that you used your latte. Thanks for introducing me to this company–off to check out Sandy’s blog.
Amazing watercoloring 🙂
What a perfect pair of stamp sets to build a room. Love the way you you’ve used the coffee to color and the upheaval in the room. Wow, what a terrific moving card.
Who knew….I never knew you could do brush to tip with watercolour pencils, thank you for this very informative technique,and love the little scene you made
And you are just as amazing! Love this m I don’t drink coffee but I might have to make a cup just to try this. Very fun!
Cool card! You already give so much by organizing & posting your inspiring creativity each day! Thank you! Personally I see commenting as a way to add my voice and never expect a reply although I do keep my fingers crossed for the give a-ways 🙂
Very nice card and great stampset too, I love how it has the elements to build the background!
such a well done card!
Kathy, thanks for having these 30 day challenges, I know it must be so much work for you. Thanks also for spotlighting Sandy and her stamps, they are so unique and look like so much fun. Love your card
What a great stamp set(s) very versatile! Love the coloring! I am one of the few non coffee drinkers….guess I will have to “steal” someone’s coffee to give it a try! Love the stamps so much! Thanks for sharing!!
Love the water coloring with coffee. Thanks for the video!
I learned so much from that short video. I love the card. Also thank you so much for letting us know about Three Room Studio and Sandy Boone. Can’t wait to check her out. The pictures you showed are amazing. Already thinking “oh no I am going to have to buy more stamps”. Oh Well. It is for a good cause, my sanity after work. Thank you so much.
You are so smart !!!
So cool! I agree these stamps are awesome ! and so appropriate as I am preparing to move house in the next few months
I’m not a coffee drinker, but found this so amazing. Just shows the sky’s the limit with card making! Thanks for the 30 day color challenge. Besides taking on your challenge, I’m challenging myself to complete at least one card each day. And to my amazement, I’ve completed more than one per day!!! Thanks so much!
Impressive! Go find a coffee drinker. LOL Thank you so much for being part of the coloring challenge. Coloring certainly has no boundaries. 🙂
Wow, coffee to watercolor with…..awesome!!!! What a totally cool technique!!! You never stop amazing me with your talent!!!! And those stamps sets rock!!!!❤
I enjoyed watching you watercolor today. I am trying to get better at it myself. It helps to watch someone who knows what they are doing.
Wow, I am learning so much this past week. I don’t have time to practice everything. I hope these lessons stay on your blog for a while.
Yes, they will be there plus all my past blog posts. Your fun will be waiting. Thanks for being part of the coloring challenge.:)
Coloring with coffee, love it!:-)
What a great stamp set, I would never have thought of using coffee to colour!
Lovely card Kathy and a great idea to use coffee for colouring☺
Great video. Loved that you used your coffee!
Such a fun and creative technique!!! Wow!!! Beautiful result, too.

Ok, I read “a video water coloring with my latte from Starbucks”, and I think, oh, Kathy’s doing a video while she’s at Starbucks drinking a latte!
Boy, was I surprised to find out that you were water coloring using your latte as the MEDIUM!
Very cool! I love the way it turned out, and I love the stamps you used. I have to check them out! Thanks!
Wow thats just something using your latte to color with and it looks so nice. What adorable stamps and such beautiful coloring. I just love how you put this altogether.
Really love the stamp sets. Really loved your card and how you mixed your colors! I wouldn’t have ever picked purple to shade everything but I love it. I’m too traditional and you are bold with your colors and color choices.
As always I love your card!! Fabulous coloring! Thank you for all that you do!
Somehow we always seem to forget that coffee or tea can be used for coloring. Thanks for reminding us Kathy. Super cute stamp sets.
wooow I Saw this coffee colouring first time I Will try this its 10th day I am still in this colour challenge ,thanks dear for so much and great inspiration every day.
I love finding natural things to use as a coloring agent. I’ve even taken flowers and pressed the “juice” from them and watercolored with it. What fiun!
WOW I just might have to try that. Thanks for the tip and being a part of the coloring challenge.:)
This is just way too awesome! I bet it smells sooooo good!
Eeek! These stamps are so cute and your coloring is always amazing. Even more fun that you used coffee to color the boxes! I already checked out some of Sandy’s videos and her blog am loving what I see.
Fun coloring medium. Your
stamped room scene is so
cute. I entered on Sandy’s
blog. Thanks.
Carla from Utah
Holy smokes…how awesome! I guess I am going to have to try using my coffee to watercolor. That is, if you can pry it from my death grip in the morning! LOL I have been following Sandy on IG and have been coveting those two stamp sets. LOL
WOW! Your card is amazing Kathy and it was so fun watching your video!
So sweet Kathy – I know several crafters are moving so this would be a delightful card for one of them to receive! Thank you, also, for holding this month-long challenge and glad I can participate whenever possible. Many hugs (and with coffee? Where have I been hiding out?) ♥
Loved your creative use of your latte.
This card couldn’t be morefun! Your placement of the images is perfect and I love the shading! I’ve used coffee to color ribbon and fabric, but haven’t used it on paper yet, but now I may just have to try it. Of course, that is if I don’t drink it ll first! Off to leave some love on Sandy’s blog!!
First off… coffee? I just love that!!! And, the stamp set.. adorable. You have totally tantalized me with these stamps. 🙂 Mission accomplished!!
Love the layout of your card so clever and so beautifully done! No stress all,fun and part of the fun is meeting and seeing new creators and leaving love along the way.. You do what you can and we all can do the rest, it’s what makes this community so special!
Love and hugs to you wonderfully amazing woman
More love and hugs back at ya. You always leave the most heartfelt comments. Thank you so much. 🙂
Love the way you colored these stamps with the soft colors. Also loving this 30 day challenge too.
Amazing coloring skills for sure. Doesn’t matter what medium you use.
A tall latte is my drink of choice at the Starbucks. One of the perks of living in the US for the moment. I love the card.
How fun! Never thought of using some kind of drink to paint. I’m not a coffee drinker, but I bet some other drinks would work too. Thanks for the idea and inspiration.
Just returned from helping my daughter move! Moving UGH is right.
thanks for all your coloring inspiration.
This is gorgeous, Kathy! It turned out beautifully – and you used coffee! So fun! It must smell divine! This is my first time seeing Sandy’s stamps so thank you for the introduction! Your masking is amazing – you created such a cute scene! Thanks for another day of colouring inspiration – I’m still going strong – 10 for 10!
Beautiful little scene.
Beautiful work Kathy as always! Love this idea. Thank you for introducing Sandy’s work to us. I have been trying to learn more about Copics and blending, etc. for a while so I am always interested in seeing anything related to that. After a quick look at one of her YT’s I HAD to subscribe! Can’t wait to see more! Her stamps are wonderful as well, a very talented lady too!
FUN! Love the latte coloring. . . . such a great scene you created from these awesome stamp sets. . . . thanks for the tips!
Wow, Kathy! I don’t know how you found this stamp artist but she is incredibly talented! I hope she continues to put out stamp sets… or gets picked up by SSS or EH or the like to do design work. As for you, amazing job on the card! I’ve never seen anyone color with coffee, so I am blown away by the idea!!!
I would have never imagined using coffee to color! I really have to try this! I paid a visit to Sandy’s blog and Instagram account. Wow! She is amazing! I am enjoying the challenge so much! Thanks!
Latte – who would have thought it could be used to paint such a pretty card ! Great scene you created !!!
Who’d a thunk that you could color with coffee? My mom drinks a cup every morning. Maybe I should use some to paint with? LOL Can you use the grounds and water and do the same thing? I put the grounds in the garden. They are good for that. Love your card!
I like the stamp because it reminds me of my mothers office, sorta kinda. I looked a little on Sandy’s Instagram Account but I don’t have one so I didn’t want to stay on to long. I’m not a fan of social media. I want to check out her blog more though.
I did some coloring today. I see you did too. I didn’t use coffee though, I used colored pencils. I was going to take something to color when I went to my mom’s doctor’s appointment like I always do but with my broken foot and my mom’s bad knees and the fact that I help her walk, I didn’t want to trust falling carrying all my coloring stuff. I brought a book to read. I colored when I got home. My sister is doing a crafts fair on Sat. and I am going to watch the fireworks and have the chicken BBQ and color! I’d love to see a lot of the fair but with a broken foot and the fact that I shouldn’t be walking a lot on it, I’ll just be coloring. It’s supposed to be hot and humid so I’d better bring water and sunscreen!
Wow Kathy yet again another beautiful card and when I saw the word coffee will that had my attention for sure lol. What is craft’s without coffee lol. Been down under the weather lately but love watching the video’s hopefully I will start to feel better and be able to color. Yep to sick to color go figure. Thanks for being here.
Feel better soon. Hugs:)
It’s so much fun to watch your watercoloring! I forget about pencils and it is great to touch the wet brush to the pencil tip! I stamp/and or color almost every day and it is my relaxing and fun time! Thanks so much for all you share on your blog! Hugs!
Hahaha you’re great!!!! This idea is amazing! I have no words to say how it’s cool! Thanks for sharing!
I loved visiting Sandy’s blog! Thanks for sharing the link!
Awesome coloring on your pretty card!
I love the colors on this card! It has a kind of moody quality. It turned out awesomely! These two stamp sets are so cool. Right after this I am going to visit Sandy Boone. Thanks for all the work this project takes and for all your time! Hugs!
I just love this challenge even though I haven’t been posting my coloring each day. My grandsons are visiting and have been coloring with me. My oldest grandson is really good at coloring.
Wonderful watercolors!!!
I do love a good latte WHEN I’m coloring, but had never thought of using it FOR my coloring. Lovely card, great stamps, your videos are the best!
I love the ‘vintage’ look of coffee 😀 really cute stamp sets!
Love your video and card. So fun that you are sending us to leave Sandy some love too. You’re the best Kathy
This card speaks to me on so many levels! Such a hilarious sentiment too.
That is the best moving card!! So cool that you used your latte to watercolor… don’t think I could share. lol!
What a fun idea! Loving this!
Wow, great idea. We make coffee with cinnamon in it, so maybe will try that. Would smell lovely!
Oh how fun is that!
love the tip to tip technique, thanks
