Hello Friends! How is your weekend going? I am popping in today for a blog hop with Waffle Flower that is pretty special and I am so delighted to be a part of it. Grab a beverage and take a-little time for yourself because I think this release will help you with your coloring if you are a beginner or a more experienced artist. I think that you will find Waffle Flower’s newest release a great investment plus a great way to relax by swatching your colors without all the fuss of measuring etc.
You will find the hop line up at the bottom of my post. To start at the beginning go to the Waffle Flower blog here.
*please note affiliate links are used at no cost to you.
Waffle Flower’s goal is to “help beginners gain confidence over a coloring medium and to help experienced colorers warming up and learning more about their media” says Nina and I totally can attest to this!
Nina from Waffle Flower say’s that The Color Swatches (stamp, die, combo) is a great all-around swatching set while the Color Wheels (stamp, die, combo) helps you create the most accurate color-mixing references with the supplies you have on hand. The 2”x3” Swatch Stamp Set is adapted from Color Swatches stamp set for quick-n-easy applications and storage. Swatch Tag Die contains a standard ATC size tag (2-1/2” x 3-1/2”) with piercing details and hole re-enforcers.”
Waffle Flower has printed a professional guide that will be included in the Color Swatches Combo. Please check out the Waffle Flower videos with detailed instructions here.
Whew that’s a lot of important information and if you are like me you get overwhelmed easily lol. My style of coloring and painting is to wing it and not swatch. Before this release I was singing a different tune on swatching and have come to really enjoy it and I love watching the colors take shape on the swatches plus its beneficial as a coloring tool. I used to think that swatching took a huge chunk of time but, it doesn’t and it’s FUN!
This pieced here is what I am calling a color study. Why not have something pretty like this flower on your swatch using the same colors. This color study will be a great reference on my inspiration board.
In my video I touch on using swatches to work for you. There are guidelines but, create your own. It’s all about playing and re-discovering your supplies.
Next time you are stamping ink up a swatch and use it for reference when you are short on time.
In Nina’s video she explains how the color wheel works towards the end of the video and in my video I touch on painting a few of the sections in the color wheel.
Also in this release is a 5”x7” stamp set called Adventures to let you practice landscape painting techniques right away.
After swatching your paints or makers I can promise you that you will feel more confident and adventurous. In my case that’s what happened and I was ready to tackle the “Adventures” stamp. Normally I would have painted a blue background but, I went for something different for me because I was feeling empowered. Later I will add some patterns to the shirts and add a glaze perhaps. (Glazing is when you go back to your watercoloring when it’s dry and adding another layer of paint)
My hubby and I just drove to NY for a night and I packed up some swatches that I stamped and die cut. When I travel with markers I “color pluck” … randomly pick colors that I don’t normally use and I always come up with some new color combos. Hello swatches … I am so excited because this is perfect for me. On this day my color plucking was the markers that I had to refill. So on the four hour trip to NY I filled my markers and yes it was a little challenging but, it can take time and why not when you are just sitting there. I brought a wash rag to soak up and unwanted spills.
As were were entering NY I was finished just in time so I could navigate … perfects timing! My husband was ready for a nap and I was ready to swatch some new color combos. This was all the time I had in the hotel so on the trip back home I used scrap paper to come up with more combos.
When I returned home I was ready just to fill in my swatches and note the color numbers of markers on the swatches . I do this often, without the aid of these swatches so you can imagine how excited I am. I always start with the lightest color, then the medium and the dark. Usually you have to repeat the medium and the dark but, the point is to play and don’t worry. Fooling around is how you learn what works for you.
In the photo I am using the pen to point to the swatch that I am using as a guide to color the shirt. Rather than staying in one color family I think this is more interesting mixing up the colors.

You’re posts aren’t just beautiful, they are so educational! I love them! The idea to have swatches of unique color blends versus the standard color charts is brilliant!
Thank you so much! I’m glad this post was helpful to you!
This is all so very organized but makes my head spin! Guess I need a road trip too!
Hahaha!!! Good idea!
Advice from a true artist! Love your advice. I’m excited about this release to gain confidence! I hope NY was good to you-
Michelle from Western NY
what a brilliant concept. I found this release through Steve’s watercolor you tube channel. already ordered. can see so many uses. love it. and love your shares. thanks as always for sharing.
I love your twist on how to use the swatches to plan your colors for a card!
Love you post. This is a great way to learn the colours we have. Great new release.
Your coloring is always amazing, and I love how you expanded the concept of the swatches to use in coloring your card!
Very clever stamps and dies! Love your color combos!
Thank you, Arlene!!!
I think this is soooooo genius. Your coloring is Amazing .
Awe – you’re making me blush! LOL thank you!
I can’t wait to get the swatch sets onto my stash! This will really help me! Thank you to Waffle Flower!
I loved watching you create your color study! Thank you so much for all the info. I’ll definitely have to come back to yours, its a little overwhelming, LOL!
I totally understand but it doesn’t have to be… honestly. I felt the same way, though!
Just Beautiful – -so glad this blog hop brought me to your blog!
Yahoo! Welcome Becky! I’m glad you found your way here, too! Thanks for becoming part of The Daily Marker clan!!!!
Beautiful coloring, thanks for sharing in the video.
So much great information as usual…. I love your videos.. I am so excited about this release.. Waffle Flower has knocked it out of the park…. Genius!! As a beginner I am so excited… Have a great time in NY…
This will be very helpful for you as a beginner, Monica! It will help you get comfortable with the colors you own! Have fun!!!
Love the brilliant color combos! Your style of coloring is just so fun Kathy!! Love what you have created!
Love that beautiful blending
I LOVE your swatch piece with the flower, it’s like a mood board!!! And I love how different everyone’s swatches already look and I have looked at two! Thanks for participating in the hop and the giveaway chance!!!
Yesssss – like a mood board, color study!!! Exactly!
Wow, another great idea to have a item you colored with the swatched colors. I love your nature scene card it is very pretty
Your videos are always so helpful! Thank you!
Awe – you’re welcome Carmen. Glad my videos are appreciated!
Great uses of the color wheel and swatches! These blog hops are so helpful and filled with inspiration.
Luv the idea of using these stamps for color studies. I’ll definitely be using that idea! Having a few of these color studies hanging near my work space will hopefully give me some inspiration. Also like the way you used these stamps with your Copics. I don’t have Copics but plan to do something similar with my Altenew Markers and colored pencils. Thanks for giving us the freedom to play without a rule book!
I love all your work.
Aweeee- thanks Carol!! **blushing***
Love these swatches! I think it would help me learn more about watercolor for sure. I really like the project with the Color Study. A great way to remember which colors you like together.
What a great set of tool for ant colorist! Love your swatching Kathy
Thanks for pointing out your stained hand. I didn’t even notice it because I was so zoomed in to what you were illustrating. Makes me feel better about when my own hands are stained.
LOL- I think it’s the story of the life of us colorists! Hahaha
I’m glad you used different colors for the background. They work together beautifully and I love looking at your color study and the copic swatches where you bring in other colors.
I am loving your “Pluck a Color” method……it really opens up all sorts of new possibilities.
Yes! Color plucking is the only way to do it in my book!
You are a natural at color and I think you’ve shown that there is a less conventional use for these swatches. I see a sort of individual project color process in this such as you used with your color study. As always your unique perspective is welcome.
I said it before but Nina is one smart lady.
Fantastic information Kathy, I love watching you color! Thanks for the tips and tricks!
What a novel stamp
Love this whole idea!!
Cajole thing is way cool!
These sets are amazing. A must have for anyone who wants to be really organised. Also love the beautiful flower die. So pretty.
What a great idea!
I just really appreciate your approach. Less fear, more fun!
Yesssss Pam!!! Definitely! No fear! LOL
this is a fantastic idea. To be able to keep track of
color combination you’ve used, set up color combinations
for future use, and to make a record of colors you have
if fabulous. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
txmlhl(at)yahoo(dot)com
Love the swatch stamp set. Great idea
Thanks for sharing your swatching. I really like the flower you colored.
Thank you, Heike!!!!
This is such a great idea – thanks for posting the video!
I’m a “wing it” kind of gal, too. I will scribble colors on a piece of scratch paper (same kind of paper I’m using for the project) to decide what colors to use on a project. That can make the project take much longer than it should. If I had the swatches ahead of time it would save me time when making the actual project.
Very true!!! Good thinking!
These swatching kit stamp sets are an awesome idea. What a great way to stay organized.
Awesome post Kathy! I’ve never color swatched before except for on a piece of scratch paper alongside whatever project I’m working on. This will great for saving my favorite color combos!
Exactly, Maria!! Will be a time saver, for sure!
I hope you enjoyed your trip to my home state of NY. (Living in Fla now) Anyway, lots of great ideas and tips Kathy. Thank you!
Swatchya been doin?!! Now we know! : ) I love your idea of putting a colored image in the same colors as the swatches! And, of course, Your swatches are as lovely as all your coloring is.
Loving this swatch stamp set! Thank you for your video and sharing the tip on how to get the gradient look for a watercolor by starting with the color and then dipping it in water each time to get the next lighter shade on the swatch. Very helpful.
I’m so glad that was helpful for you, Margaret.
I’ve swatched Distress colors, inks, and alcohol markers, but never blends. That looks very useful, along with swatching watercolors.
Didn’t even notice your hands! And to me it only shows you love your “stuff” and aren’t afraid to get dirty! Beautiful flower and I love how you combined the techniques on the same swatch print. TFS!
Thank you for showing me different ways to swatch and play with my copics!!! I wouldn’t have thought about that. So useful !!,
I think this would help me learn more about my watercolors. Your videos are always interesting!
Oh Carol thank you so much!
Great idea to make project swatches. I’ve been scribbling color combos on scraps. I like the look of the ones you made.
Love this set
Really great and very helpful review of the new Waffle Flower release. The swatching kit looks like a fantastic product, I really see how using it would help with finding new colour combinations and simply swatching your markers, pencil crayons and so on. The card you created is gorgeous Kathy, and I love your ‘new’ background colours, you are such an amazing artist!
I’m so excited about these products! I already am an swatch maker but this would help so much and keep me organized.
If you’re a swatch maker then this set it made for you!!!
I love this! Waffle Flower is Awesome!
What fun way to do coloring swatches! Wished they made it a lot sooner. But the wait was for the better cause they are awesome. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week. Your card was super great too.
What a fascinating stamp set! And your instructions are so valuable. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome product idea and I loved seeing how you personalize it for how you color!
Amazing how beautiful your examples are just by playing around with the colors. I love this concept. Thanks for the video too. Lots of info.
Awesome work!! They look so colorful 🙂
Kathy, even your color charts are inspirational!
Aweeee Jane – you’re so sweet! Xoxo
Gorgeous card and beautiful swatches! Love the Adventures stamp set!
Yes, me too! It’s super adorable and fun!
I so much appreciate being able to quickly access, especially, my unusual color combos. and finding new ones. it’s a great organizing tool!
Perfect for organization!!!
Kathy, how awesome! I met you in Mesa last year, where Nina said she wasn’t a fan of coloring, and you turned her around and she came up with this wonderful swatching set! I love what you did and I’m going to try some of the color combos you have used and try to invent my own. Thanks for inspiring us and for joining Waffleflower on this great hop! I’m sad I will miss you in AZ this year, I’ll be traveling at the same time you are here.
Oh bummer! Have fun and safe travels though!
I am learning a lot about swatching, like how and more importantly why to do it. As a non-art major in my younger years, and now a card-maker, I’m changing a bunch of my interests. I sure am liking learning new stuff, and the chance to win goodies!
for someone that is afraid to do that this just might help me get started . thank you great job.
This might be perfect for you to get you started!!!
Kathy, as usual your work is amazing and Nina’s release, particularly the color swatch stamp and colour wheel stamp. Ingenious idea! I am tremendously impressed with this release! YAY!
Whoo hooo Teresa! Have fun swatching!
I actually love swatching so this is totally up my alley! I didn’t think to use them for alcohol markers, so this is exciting!
This looks great! I love how you’ve organized your colors, and the way you’ve displayed these pretty blends of color! That really is an amazing idea! It’s no surprise your work always looks so bright and colorful and very pretty!
Love the idea of using the swatch stamp to swatch copic color combos. While it takes time to do that, it would be a huge time saver in the end.
Only you would think to put a flower on your swatches!
LOL
Never have seen anything like this! Brilliant! I have my fingers crossed. 🙂
Thank you for helping me to understand how to use this new release. I am just starting to learn water coloring and this will help.
I love how hoy make the swatches it is nice and easy to make that for every media and colors
Swatching did overwhem me a bit until I started learning to use Copic markers and found it to be a must do so I could understand how to blend them. I love your idea, do a color study for fun, rather than make it a task. Very freeing! Beautiful examples, Kathy!
Exactly Stef! Get rid of the stress and make the task at hand fun!!! Otherwise it will take the fun out of coloring!
What a wonderful concept! Especially trying different color combos – cn’t wait to get started, Thanks!
Looks like a great way to keep track of your favorite color combos, Kathy!
So clever, Kathy! Thanks for all the great tips!
Great idea to use the swatches with Copic combos!
This is brilliant. Thanks for the tips, Kathy. Always deeply appreciated.
This bundle will be a great addition to the craft room
I appreciate all you do for the crafting community. This is such a remarkably thought out set that will be very helpful for all crafters. Your projects are lovely as well.
Oh annette thank you so much for your sweet comment!
WOW, Kathy! I LOVE how you are using these stamps! It DOES get overwhelming with all of the technical lingo, doesn’t it? LOL I LOVE to PLAY with color! AND NO WORRY about your hands! It only shows you are an “ARTIST!” LOL BE PROUD OF THEM! 😉 I think this is a SUPER SET!!!! I would say a “Staple” for the card maker or artist! 😉 Going to check ALL of this out! SUPER JOB in featuring this set, Kathy!!!! 😀
Love the combo of swatches and image for your color study
Thank you Susan! The flower was from a waffle flower release earlier in the summer! That floral set is a must-have, too!
I love your flower and the boys climbing the tree. I like that you can make swatches for any oroject you are working on
I love how you have used these new Swatch stamps to do your swatches. It’s so helpful!! I thought it would be overwhelming to do all of this but you make it look like a breeze!!
WOW!! This is really cool. I love this idea and will be being this product!! Thank you for all your ideas!
Such awesome ideas for you guys who color a lot. I don’t have
enough markers (shhhh!) to make any swatches. lol Of course I
love that pretty flower on your one card.
That flower is from a waffle flower set that was released earlier this summer!!! I highly recommend it!
Thank you for your inspiring video. Makes me want to jump into watercolors.
I really was amazed watching your video and how you did the watercolour swatching and working with the paints, I am definitely in the overwhelmed category …hahaha, but I loved how you repeated the just play with the colour – that needs to be my new motto I think.. and try not to overstress about it
Exactly!!! I agree 100%! Stress defeats the purpose of coloring and crafting for relaxation and fun!!!
Love the blends!
Yes, I can see where his would be helpfu. Smart Nina!
I love doing color studies!!! Though I have to admit, I had no idea that’s what they were called! LOL I’ve always played around with colors before doing a practice run, then I do the real deal, well providing I have time. I feel anxious when I have to do the real project without having played around with the colors first! What a cool way to make it all uniform. I’m big on swatches too, but I have all of my media swatched out already, just not possible color blends. That would be cool.
very clever release. love the swatch stamps
Such a great idea with these new swatches. I am intrigued! Thanks!
I enjoy study of color theory but much prefer to just play. Like you all the technical stuff just gets in my way of having fun and relaxing.
I completely understand which is why I made the color study- it was fun and I now have a reference to look at when watercoloring with those colors in the future!
Love your coloring as always
I love the swatches stamps, I think this would be grea for me to get organised!
I have a drawer full of watercolors that I’m afraid! This is the perfect set to help me finally get them out and learn to use them. This is one of the most useful sets I’ve seen in years!
Whoo hooo Victoria!!! Get those watercolors out of the drawer and start playing with them!!!!!
Love your idea of a color study Kathy. I ordered everything and will use it all to swatch my DS watercolors, see what colors go together and mixing to create even more colors.
I really like this type of technical stuff and I’m so happy there are videos to walk you through all this. I feel like I am not great at selecting colors so it’s fun to see that you just choose some and see how they work together, thanks for the inspiration!
This is all just blowing my mind….I need to really concentrate and follow this. Thanks
Thanks so much for your swatching video….VERY helpful!!!!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
LOVE these new stamps and you swatches are great. the addition of a stamped image alongside of the swatches is very helpful, too.
Love the little lines in color swathes! 😉
Those are to show you where to begin diluting the colors – by dipping the paintbrush 1/2 way into the water. So you can see the blend of the color as it goes from light to dark.
these new stamps/dies are amazing … thanks for the play!
Always wanted a color wheel, and to make it myself would be very cool. Great job Kathy!
your are so creative – love watching your work:)
Aweee you’re so sweet, Dee. Thanks
Love the card you created. 🙂
Love your coloring and creativity! Thanks for shaving…
Thank you for using the color wheel die. So helpful to see it in action.
Love love love your color combo. Thank you for sharing!
The kids scene looks so wonderful. I LOVE your painting.
Great watercoloring and such fun new sets!
This is such an amazing concept!!! Love It!! Thank You!
Love the brilliant color combos! You are so talented!
Beautiful and super helpful!
Love all of your searches, color study and card!
Thanks for sharing so much helpful information about this release. These products are soooo practical.
I love how you made use of your time, and I love that you are able to create combos so versatile!
This is a brilliant release! Not being “good with colors” has always been a hindrance for me but I think (I’m sure hoping LOL) that The Color Swatches and The Color Wheels are going to help me so much. I love how you did yours and it gives me a great place to start on mine. 🙂
I think you’re right! These will pleasantly surprise you and before you know it you’ll be making amazing and unique color combos!!!!
Your colouring is gorgeous!! Great post!
This is certainly a useful release. Did you visit NYC or another area of NY? Our state is quite varied. Hope you enjoyed your visit.
Thanks so much we were in the city For one night. We do need to get around to other parts of the state
Xo
Thanks for all you do to encourage those of us that feel inadequate regarding colors! I am hoping the color swatches will help with this feeling.
These will definitely help you come up with new and different color combos!!!
Kathy, I am so encouraged by you. It warms my heart that such a talented and amazing woman gives us permission to just get out and play. I ordered this full release and am so excited to use it.
Oh you’re the sweetest! You’ve made me blush and I have a huge smile! Hugs to you!
Wow Kathy, only you could make a swatch card look absolutely glorious! I’ve only recently started making swatch cards for my alcohol markers because I spent way too much time trying out colors before picking the ones I want to use.
I love your colour study and your Adventures painting is beautiful!
I’d never considered using color swatches for Copic before! Neat!
I love your creativity! I have always been a “wing it” gal too, but as of today a set of Color Swatches stamps is ordered and will soon revolutionize all that for me!.. Thanks for the tips!
Lol- have fun Susan!!!!
What a beautiful card, love the Adventures stamp set!
Looks awesome!
i just love all of your projects.
Fabulous inspiration … love the color blending.
Love seeing your take on how to use this system for swatching Kathy. It’s really such a unique set, and seems ery well thought through. Your colour studies are beautiful, they are works of art in themselves ❤️. Sending hugs to you xx
Thank you sweet Lisa. Hugs right back at you!!!
Love the swatchmaker stamps and dies.
Love the swatchmakers die & stamps, what a great idea!
Beautiful ❤️
Great work ! And I love this release, especially the color wheel and the swatches !!
I love blog hops because I get inspired to create–thank you.
I so want this. Fantastic. To be able to record ccolour compost so simply. Wonderful!
This is so genius!! Why didn’t I think of this. . . and I’ve thought this so many times. I love all your tips. I can still hear your voice as I read through this. . . your voice from JF! You’re so positive, so helpful, so encouraging. Be Fearless!!
Aweeee. Xoxoxo
I enjoyed the video thanks for sharing helpful tips.
Oh my this release is so different! How exciting
Love all your great projects Kathy!
OMGG, what an amazing video from you, it all makes sense as you paint & explain it, it looks so much more fun than I remember but maybe that’s because all the rulers, measuring & drawing them up has been worked out for you, bless her, & we get the fun doing bit. Will refer back to your video when I get lost.
Love the colors you use!
I love the idea of using this with Copic markers to come up with new colors or practice blending.
This is such an interesting release! And I really appreciate your suggestion to not get overwhelmed and to just play! It makes it less intimidating.
This is brilliant! I can use all the help I can get to stay organized, and to help with my coloring. Love this idea. Off to watch all the videos!
Hugs to you!!!
Beautiful creations !
I love how you used the swatches. It’s definitely Kathy style. This release is so cool, and will be perfect to use when you just want to play. Thanks for sharing your Copic color combos. I love the look of completely different colors blended together.
This is such a fantastic idea for stamp/die sets! I like the idea of swatching out colors for different mediums or just for a project but hated making those charts! Love how much easier these swatch stamps or color wheel stamp will make things!
These products are amazing and loved watching you swatch them out! Thanks for sharing!!!
Brilliant idea!!!
I could watch you paint all day – even swatches! Thanks for making me feel less nervous about jumping in and trying something new with my painting.
Oh Lynn, you’re so sweet. You’re very welcome. Happy coloring!
Hi Kathy!! Love your work as always! I love this release. Thanks for sharing!!
This is such a unique release and your projects are wonderful.
Wow–very unique and creative products. Thanks for sharing how you are using them.
That release is genius ! And it’s so interesting to have point of views of people like you, who are very experienced in this area. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
[margessw(at)icloud(dot)com]
Wow those stamps are a neet idea.
I have color swatches in the drawer just sitting there and I never use them because they aren’t very good! I think I would do a better job with these stamps to aid me and they would be neat and uniform. Clever idea from Waffle Flower! You like the concept, too, I think! Lol!
I did not want this video to end. I love watching people who have knowledge of color. It helps me want to go do it.
What a totally brilliant idea. I definitely will be doing this!
I’m super excited about this release! My wish list is getting longer and longer.
I LOVE organization. Bring on the swatches.
Lol then this release is for you, Bunny!!!
Super cool release! Your card is awesome and so are your color swatches.
LOVE the new swatch stamps and dies! Can’t wait to get everything swatched.
What a great idea! I may need a set of these!
I love your colour study, it reminds me of moodboards. Great colouring ont that beautiful flower. I have made for every colour medium I have ) pencils, ink etc.) colour swatches, I use them only if I surch for a particular colour or a colour that must match with my cardstock. I don’t see myself using these stamps to make swatches.
I am more a “on the way I look for a colour” girl LOL perhaps that is because I don’t use watercolour or Copic Markers.
Thank you for the time and effort you put in to this great video.
What a great way to get organized! I love these stamps.
Wow! Great post!!! As always, your colouring is simply breathless!!! Awesome cards!!!
Thanks for reminding me that colouring doesn’t need to match or blend, but that it’s ok to play.
Yes definitely!!! I’m glad you took that from this post because that’s exactly what I believe! Have FUN!!!!
Great idea, I’m definitely going to do this!
Loved the beautiful flower and the adventure scene. Swatching is not my thing. At least not to this extent. I made swatches of inks and markers but this set of stamps and dies is a little beyond my range.
Fabulous article and
interesting color combos.
Carla from Utah
These new swatch sets are awesome. But the show stopper is the Adventures stamp. Wow Kathy you really did this one right. Love it. Nicely done.
I just love the light blue, medium blue and yellow-green color combination on the boy’s shirt. I would never have thought to combine those colors and they look fabulous together. Thanks for the inspiration!
I have to color swatch. The color you expect can so not be the color you get! Love this idea Waffle Flower came out with! Thanks for your tutorial.
Kathy i have to say your card is beautiful and the colors you swatched makes me want to think outside my little box. Also you are one brave soul. If I even thought of filling my copics in the car my husband would push the eject button. LOL LOL LOL!!!!
Hahahahahaha
Those swatches are little works of art! Love this stamp set!
Awesome color swatches stamps and awesome coloring!
I am so in love with color! If you could see me in the summer, you would see tons & tons of colors. Of course, I wear a lot of yellow but if it were up to me, the trees wouldn’t be just green, they would be shades of green & yellow & then even more colorful in the fall. I love rainbows but not because I am gay but because I love colors! That all being said, I love how you matched all the colors together with the color wheel. I am drooling at all the beautiful colors! I love the colors of the flower! My niece is a big fan of pinks & all of it’s shades so she would love this. Last year 2 people, one who does chalk & colored pencil drawings of people & the other who does 18th century paper marbling said when I showed them pictures I colored that my colors are spot on, just where they should be. I’m much better at colors then I used to be. This is great for people who aren’t good with colors.
Thank you for showing us your creations & for giving us the chance to win something. I love Waffle Flower!
This stamp is good for practice coloring especially during those times when you are on a standstill on what to create.
I love the background of the card and the flower swatch. I Think I have to reconsider and start swatching.
So much great information shared!!. Thank you for inspiring to try putting colors together might not try otherwise.
Love the rose you painted next to the color swatching! Such a great release!
Love the swatches with the projects…awesome way to keep track!
WOW Kudos to Nina and her team for the brilliance in making these sets!!!! WOW! I definitely will be placing an order because these will help me tremendously! I think it’s pure genius seriously! Your video was very insightful Kathy and very clear and it all makes sense to me why as a crafter, I would need these swatch sets in my arsenal. Thank you for taking the time to show us how you used these sets and your swatches all turned out so beautifully!! I cannot wait to get my hands on these myself!
Hugs,
Jo in Jersey
♥ Jo’s Scrap Shack ♥
Love the swatches sets. Will make it so much easier to swatch my color mediums! Love the combos you have!
These stamps will make swatching colors so much more fun! I always want to fast forward past drawing the squares to get the colors and color mixing. Brilliant!
Exactly!!!! Happy coloring!!!
OMG these are amazing stamps and I love your color swatching! All of it is so beautiful and I can’t wait to place my order!
Whooo hoooo! Happy swatching/coloring!
Hi Kathy!!! I am one who gets overwhelmed too. I’d like to try watercoloring and this is definitely a starting point. Thank you for the inspiration.
These are such clever tools for colorists! Beautiful card front and swatches, you have turned them into works of art!
Awww Dana – thank you for your kindness.
What a great tool to use for coloring!
This is a tool that every artist must have in their painting supplies. Genius!!
Love seeing you make the color swatches and the use of it with the flower, the color study is fabulous. Frame it, keep it, wonderful But best of all is the spectacular sky with the climbing boys. Vibrant, so alive,so beautiful. You are really something, Kathy. TY.
Stunning Creations I love your color swatches. I think it’s a great idea to use drive time to craft. I do that when we do our 9 hour drive to Canada and zigs are perfect in the car.
Great Video…I love the color study idea!
As always, your colors are FABULOUS!
I love your color swatches and your Adventures creation!! Thanks for sharing.
This is such a fun tool to have in your arsenal!
Would love to win! I would be swatching for weeks!!!!
These are beautiful!! This release looks really interesting. I’m one that struggles with color combos, so this could be right up my alley. : )
Thanks for sharing your tips and techniques and your fab floral colouring.
Love these stamps to help with color swatching. Genius! Really enjoyed your video.
I LOVE the new color swatch stamp sets! Swatches are so important but they take so much time to measure and draw out, so when I saw these new stamps I nearly lost it!! I can’t wait to get my hands on them! I’m going to swatch all my art supplies! Lol
Ps I love how you stamped the flower in the box and the swatches on the same paper and then colored the flower and swatched all the colors you used! Such a great idea!
This is such a great tool! It is educational, organized, and TIME SAVING! No more free hand messes
So many great tips all in one video – my favorite was to just play with your inks and have fun with them. Sometimes I forget to do that and this video and release is a great reminder of that.
Love watching you color. Love your ideas.
Wow, this is amazing. Loving all the inspiration.
Loving the color swatching!
Fun…educational…encouraging!..thanks.
It is great to hear how you have explored these Waffle Flower releases and that swatches can be fun! I think that sometimes we get caught up in the rules and regs that we do not just let things happen. Thank you for saying that we can let this happen. TFS :O) XXXX
Only you could take a swatch paper and turn it into a work of art. I like the way you think!
When I first saw these I thought – not for me…. but after watching a few videos I have changed my mind. It is a great way to swatch out all your different mediums, I can’t wait to get mine and get into it.
