Hello Friends. How was your weekend? Today I’m really honored to be taking part in the Hero Arts Catalog Blog Hop among such talented ladies PLUS I love Hero Arts and all that they stand for as a company.
I have a video sharing how to work an image when the coloring goes awry.
Thanks to some heavy weight vellum and some beautiful plaid paper my card finally came together. Love this flower called, “Antique Rose Stem“.
To watch the video larger click here.
I layered up two of the flowers that I colored with some foam tape. For the prayer sentiment I used some black cardstock with fun foam underneath it.
Coloring can be like trying on a pair of jeans…you have good and bad days. In the video I share some tips to work your coloring and find that happy place.
I stamped the Rose with some black dye ink on vellum. Once the ink dried I glued the vellum down with a glue pen on Lawn Fawn’s beautiful new plaid paper. I cut another strip of the paper and added a strip of vellum on top to soften the pattern so the colored flower wouldn’t interfere with the paper.
Hero Arts asked me to color a few of their flowers for the CHA trade show so I thought I would share them today.
Do you recognize this one? It’s the exact same flower I used in the video… “Antique Rose Stem” but, colored with Copics instead and on a good day lol.
You can never have enough succulent stamps. These are called, “Potted Succulent” and “Small Potted Succulent” and they have matching die cuts.
This flower is called, “Mum Stem” and it’s a winner in my book so great for so many applications.

Your coloring looks beautiful
Amazing coloring. Thanks for sharing!!!!
Lovely card and fun blog hop! 😉
Thanks for all your tips! Lovely card.
Just can’t get enough of your coloring!! And the flowers are such a bonus – so beautiful to look at!! Love them!
Beautiful flower!
Oh wow, I am amazed at your coloring skill, what beautiful work there!
Love all the tips on coloring fixes! never would of thought to use a tissue with spray of water to lighten. never would of put copic over water color excited to try for myself. love the new flower images from Hero Arts.
Wow! Just WOW!
Wow! love the flowers and you are right these are wonderful, will have to put one or two on my wish list! Thanks for the tips
Scrumptious coloring!
You crack me up! You not so good would be my best!
Gorgeous coloring!!!!!!
loved you’r coloring 😀
Oh my goodness Kathy, this is stunning! It was worth all of the effort! Thank you for sharing. Take care, Kim 🙂
I’m so glad the Hero Arts blog hop led me to you. I love the detail you include in your posts and I never would have found you had it not been for the blog hop. You have a new subscriber.
I’m thrilled you hopped on over to my blog, Join in on the fun with the 30 day coloring challenge. This challenge is for you to take time for yourself. Thank you 🙂
Isn’t it amazing how some days those creative juices just don’t seem to flow? Well, I think you overcame whatever was holding you back, Kathy. Your finished card is amazing. Just love that muted plaid background. Kudos!
gorgeous coloring!
Well, I LIKED THIS CARD, OBVIOUSLY MORE THAN YOU DID, It is good to kmow, I am not alone, having days when my coloring just doesn’t suit me. Like you said, someone will.
What gorgeous depth of colour you created with the mix of mediums! Love your tip about spraying over the tissue!
I love how your flower turned out! I so appreciate you sharing that process because it does take time sometimes to get your coloring just right! You did a wonderful job!
I totally love your card and the flower on it! Sure doesn’t look like you struggled as it’s so very pretty! Hero Arts is one of my most favorite companies!
Very clever tips in the video…using the kleenex and water to remove color is a great idea and using the Memento marker on the back of skinny pieces is very smart. I have always colored the edges of my fussy cut images, but would have never thought to do what you did…I’m so glad I know you….LOL
Beautiful card and your flowers and leaves are very pretty….don’t know why you are so hard on yourself.
I love your flowers. Thanks for the great supply list!
Beautiful work! Love all the dimension here on the flower and the die cut word!
The rose is beautifully colored.
You are a spectacular artist. Thank you for sharing some good tips!
Your flower is gorgeous…it really pops off the paper!
Amazing detail!
I love how you layered the flowers!
This card is stunning! I thought you made the plaid paper yourself. Love, love, love this cards!
I thought they were beautiful from the beginning! I am laughing because I am wearing pink and orange today! I can’t really wear orange, unless I want people to call an ambulance because I look like I’m dying of some dread disease, but I can do a coral or melon orange mixed with pink. It’s amazing how the color of a goodwill t-shirt can affect my mood all day! Thanks for all the tips about correcting things when they aren’t what I’m trying to do. And Jennifer’s right: sometimes it’s not what we had in our brain, but it’s still beautiful! I have tossed out some things because they didn’t turn out the way I wanted, but other people have loved them! See you tomorrow! Still looking for coordinating paper for the flowers I colored yesterday.
Your card is absolutely gorgeous. I love the way you toned down the plaid with vellum.
I really like the colors chosen for each of your projects. My fav is the blue flower – just stunning!
Kathy, I honestly thought the flowers were gorgeous but in saying that I completely know what you mean when you are not happy with what you’ve created, or perhaps it is more like we just didn’t get what we were looking for. Thank you for sharing this because it is good to know that us more inexperienced crafters aren’t the only ones who run into this issue. The final card is so pretty and I love the vellum and plaid. For all you do for our wonderful crafty community, a HUGE thank you Kathy!
Gentle hugz
I thought your coloring was beautiful w/out adding Copics and distress ink, but I love the end result as well. Thanks for sharing!
Those sparkle pens are great
Amateur?…I wish my truly amateur card would look as half as good as your beautiful card. Awesome design and great colors.
I love how you have colored the Mum Stem!
My, such beautiful coloring
your are showing. Love those
flowers.
Carla from Utah
Gorgeous! I really like the vellum background too, it makes the colored flower stand out.
Wow, those flowers look amazing!
Oh how I hope this video helps me; you saw my ‘sick’ elephant on Instagram; sat down during halftime of the superbowl game last night and EVERYTHING went wrong; threw away 3 small pieces of card stock – bad, bad, bad. LOL
Thanks for ALL the inspiration; if my ‘bad’ days could be half as good as your ‘off’ days, I’d be a seriously happy camper.
Love this pretty rose stamp and your coloring…!!!
hey there.. this card – absolutely gorgeous! … and if this is as far as your bad coloring days go then good going ! i totally dont understand the shading and shadows..for me; its been fake it till you make it! 🙂 love how you continued on.. thanks for all your awesome helpful ideas…and removing color with a tissue? you are a genius!!! thanks… your soft voice is incredible:)
Love the stamping on patterned paper on your background. The coloring on both of these grogeous flowers is spectacular.
Beautiful! Stay blessed.
Love your card and video! Thank you.
wow your coloring is outstanding.. totally love those flowers
Well, those flowers may not be what you have had in mind, but I love them. The final result is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing this kind of video, it help a lot when we feel hunappy with what we do.
I love how your project came out – thank you for showing how to go back and take it in a different direction if its not going the way you wanted it to. Most of mine end up in the recycle bin and I don’t even bother to try to fix it. Now I feel a bit of encouragement and a bit of a boost to persevere and push on.
OH my every time you said “I didn’t like that so I kept going.” I thought the flowers looked good! Then you’d make them better and then even better. It’s nice to see the process so many videos give the idea that everything is perfect, easy and goes together without any thought. Thank you for sharing.
love those succulents and the mum stems I must be in a mood for blue today but I do like your finished flowers. sorry they gave you such a hard time today. I know that isn’t your usual.
Beautiful colouring! I really enjoyed your video & that is such a lovely flower to work with.
Love you how brought this together. … only wishing my not-so-great starts finished like yours!
Pretty card, Kathy. Love the muted plaid BG, too.
Absolutely stunning succulents and roses are beyond any compliments!
Thanks for sharing your clever tips in the video!
Work it. Work it. Work it. Wah-lah!
Your work paid off with a beautiful card.
So very, very pretty Kathy!
Thanks Hero Arts for the chance to win.
Beautiful card!!
I love how you make me think outside of the box in my card making.
Beautiful card!!
Lovely card & thanks for showing the other beautiful flower stamps. Your coloring is ALWAYS amazing. Thanks.
Kathy: your coloring is always inspirational. Appreciate you sharing when things don’t go as you would like and how you “fix” it.
Love how you did your flowers.
Beautiful flower! I love that you shared that you even have bad coloring days like the rest of us! Thanks for being real! P.S. Your flower was gorgeous the whole time!
Don’t sweat the small stuff because we love everything you create. This is a beautiful floral stamp!
wow wow wow.
In love with those succulents and your amazing talents!
Oh Kathy!! Breathtaking!!! I LOVE that card with all the details. The coloring is fantastic!! You are just amazing and am so happy that you share your talent with us!!
I admire those that can color the way you do – really like those succulents!
I love this flower stamp. It reminds me of the Canadian province of Alberta’s flower, the wild rose!
It makes me feel better to know that even our coloring gurus like you can have an “off” day! 🙂
Great technique.
Amazing coloring!
The finished card is beautiful. Thanks for all the tips and techniques you showed on how you achieved this gorgeousness. Some days are a struggle to get the look I want to create, especially with watercolor and your ideas are so encouraging and helpful. I do love the look of that stamp!
Beautiful! Your coloring as amazing! I love the layered flower! Thanks for the video!
Oh Kathy, if you call this a bad coloring day, we all wish for your kind of bad day..lol!
What a gorgeous card.
GORGEOUS! Wow for something that “wasn’t working for you today” This turned out Beautiful!
Pretty card! Thanks so much for sharing.
I love ….love love love ur way of coloring Kathy. Becoz I too do d same way. I too love mixing of mediums but never shared this with anyone. What people will think….am i mad or what?? I always thought ppeople will think its weired of me. But now i am happy not only me but so many more are crazy while coloring like me. There is No right or wrong way to enjoy art…..we just need to enjoy what we do. Thanks ur this video gave me more confidence.
You go girl. Love your attitude. Color like no one is watching. It’s all about you. 🙂
Beautiful flowers – beautiful design.
Having a bad hair day, that’s nothing. But having a bad coloring day, not that’s a tough. Good to see I’m not alone at struggling sometimes. Your card really did turn out beautiful in the end.
That flower is jaw-dropping gorgeous. Your coloring skills amaze me.
Your coloring is amazing! I can’t believe you made the rose work with two different plaids.
I love what you did with all your cards. Mistakes? What mistakes? LOL I know what you mean. My friend John who hand marbles paper saves me his paper with what he calls mistakes. You really have to look carefully to even see what he calls mistakes and I have been able to find a few if I really, really, look but mostly I can’t find them. I’m happy he gives me his paper because it’s so beautiful but his mistakes aren’t really mistakes, like yours aren’t. I am so happy to be doing this hop! Everyone on here has done an amazing job. You should all be so proud of what you’ve done.
The flower is gorgeously colored, thanks for the video and encouragement went coloring goes awry. Love how this card turned out, and thanks for sharing your coloring of the other HA gorgeous flowers!
Those succulents are adorable! Thank you for a chance to win.
This card is gorgeous Kathy. What a great job.
You’re coloring is awesome! We are our own worst critic. 🙂
I think your flowers looked good from the beginning. I like how you showed the process (even if it didn’t quite work out for you). For a beginner, this helps me to keep in coloring. Thank you.
Thank you for the video showing us your process! I love that card (I would frame it) and I looooove your blue Mum!!!
It is nice to know that even experts struggle! Tour coloring always has such great depth! Thanks for the tip about using multiple types of coloring mediums!
I love this card. It has so many facets without looking messy, now that takes talent.
I absolutely love the card. I have found that if I’m not satisfied with my work I walk away from it for a minute then go back and work it some more. You kept working it and it kept getting prettier. That encourages me to not give up on mine.
Beautifully colored flower !!
Your coloring is beautiful! I can understand how something doesn’t quite work out to our personal expectations. When that happpens to me, I need to take a break and get back to it later when the fuzzies fade away.
Your flowers are so beautiful! They are so very real looking. TFS you talents with us
Ohh my goodness Kathy I have earmarked this video to watch later when I catch up. I cannot believe this card it is so stunning. your flower and the layers are wonderful, so eye catching.
Love the idea to add the strip of paper above the vellum! It really makes the colored flower pop up
Yours turned out beautiful. But for me it’s hard to know when to keep working it and when to stop. I guess practice, practice, practice.
GORGEOUS card! The color and design are AMAZING! You know your work is amazing!
beautiful!
It’s good to see even an expert not always happy with their colouring!
Layering the flower adds so much to your card!
WOW Kathy this card is stunning! Those flowers are so beautiful!!!! I love how you created this card and really like that prayers die.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Hugs,
Jo

I’m glad you didn’t give up. The end result was beautiful.
Thanks for sharing the process, Kathy. I know exactly what it feel likes to have to work it., which happens all too often. Loved to see how you kept going until you were reasonably happy with the result. I also agree with Jennifer that someone will like your colouring/card even if you’re not entirely happy with it. i also find that sometimes a card or a coloured image starts to grow on me if I look at it again after some time. It probably means we are often too hard on ourselves. I’ll try to keep that in mind when I go to my craft table today.

Kathy, I can honestly say that I have never seen a card of yours that wasn’t beautiful! Your coloring is always superb. I love your flowers and even liked the very first one that you weren’t fond of. Thanks for the video and your inspiration.
A great tip for softening the colours of papers and love the cute set you used too. I use to practice as a paediatric nurse and use to love it when we had babies in , not because they were ill but because they really do have a special smell, maybe its the baby talc or soap but when the babies your own its even more special.
fab card a s always thanks for sharing.
You definitely have an eye for color and detail, these look phenomenal.
Wow! Masterpieces
Gorgeous coloring! WOW!!!
I think its beautiful and even on your “bad day” I am majorly impressed!
Your CHA samples are beautiful as well! A great job!
Nice card, beautiful coloring !
I am a sucker for flower stamps. Love all of these!
Wow! I’m just trying to learn and thought your flower was so beautiful just half way into the process! Thank you for sharing!
Great card, love your coloring. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, your card is gorgeous. Thank you for all the little tips and techniques!!!
Not sure how you can say you have abad coloring day. You work never fails to look amazing! I love the card it’s stunning.
Loved your video! Hero Arts stamps are awesome!
I love this 3D effect idea on this card. I am such a fan of embossing with powder and ink and stamping in general but I am also quite intrigued with the use of 3 dimensional elements!
I don’t color with markers but use my prisma color pencils or distress inks with blending tool…..what I’m trying to say in a round about way is I understand when coloring goes wrong and can be frustrating but when it comes together it is so satisfying.

That is one of the most beautiful flowers I have seen in a long time. Fantastic work. Cheers.
I do love coffee, but wish I could drink more at night. It keeps me up.
Your coloring is awesome! Beautiful flowers.
Insanely amazing – I love the warmth you ended up with, even if that wasn’t where you started – it’s incredibly beautiful
I love the dimension! I am totally going to try that. I need some more flower stamps for sure! Thanks for sharing!
Wow Kathy! I think your coloring is stunning, but we are usually our own harshest critic. Your bad coloring day still produced a magical result! Fantastic!
I’ve never seen anything you color go awry including this one. I thought it looked fabulous from the start. You’re the coloring Queen…I think it looks fabulous.
This card takes my breath away, Kathy, AMAZING!!!
I wish my bad coloring days turned out this well. This flower is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity with us. 🙂
i need all the tips i can get! thanks!
Oh my goodness, this is exceptionally gorgeous!!

Beautiful cards and so much to learn! Thanks for all the inspiration….so many hops; so little time…..But I’m gonna try to get to them all :o)
So beautiful card with flowers. The coloring is perfect.
Beautiful card.
Love how the stamp can be used for background and for a pop-up.
thanks for sharing an awesome card that I’d be thrilled to receive.
Simply stunning! You are incredible!
Vellum always looks so great on projects, I got to buy some new vellum! 🙂
Well, it has taken 3 tries (starting yesterday) to get to see this post and finally technology is cooperating & I am getting to, and so glad I did. Great job!
I dont drink coffee, only tea…beautiful card BTW
Wow, Kathy this is gorgeous! You never cease to amaze.
Your card is so beautiful. I watched your video & coloring–you are way too hard on yourself–your coloring is perfect!
Beautiful card! Sometimes things take a little longer than we expect. Hmm … maybe it’s our expectations that need adjusting.
Mercy! You are my Coloring Guru. My Color GoTo Gal. My Queen of All Things Copic. Thanks.

I am in awe of your coloring. I love the way you played the plaid paper and the vellum against the stamped images and the color of the flowers – beautiful!
Thanks, Kathy for sharing your “not so great” coloring day. Not that we agree that you ever have a bad day coloring. I appreciate that you showed us different products can be combined on the same design. Enjoyed your other flower samples to.
So flipping gorgeous, Kathy! I wish I could color like that on a bad day! lol!
Gorgeous flowers and colours. Love the blue one. Hugz
WOW – that was some coloring project. I too have had coloring that just didn’t go the way I pictured and I “futz” and “futz” too with it. I do like how yours’ turned out.
Gorgeous flowers Kathy! Thanks for the inspiration.
Love the rich and bright colors in this flower. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing and thanks Hero Arts!

Beautiful flower!! The coloring is awesome and I love the background!!!
Nice coloring.
I always love your posts! Your coloring techniques are fabulous. You are a role model for those of us who want to improve our skills. Thanks for all your inspiration. 😀
Yay! I’m so proud of you for sticking to it and see it through. I have days like this. I’m more comfortable water painting and using my prisma pencils. Your card looked great! Hugz
I really like your background idea!
Great tips and coloring.
Great tips in the video on how to work through bad coloring days.
OMG so much gorgeousness all in one day. My mind is blown.
Love this card and the colors!
Nice save, even though I thought it looked fine from the beginning. 😉 The papers you used were lovely. I’m a big fan of plaids and vellums. I’m guessing that your worst coloring days are far better than my newbie attempts. I learn so much from your videos.
Oh mighty, you were working up a sweat. Flowers turned out beautiful. Thanks for the tip on distress inks.
I backtracked from the next person after you on the blog hop. So here I am! grin!
Beautiful cards Kathy! Always love your coloring! Thanks so much for sharing!

Hi Kathy Sweetie. Been too long since I have been here. Your up to some crazy, beauty- drooling, eye stopping, tag wagging creativity here at the Daily Maker. NO matter how long it is before I get back to visit there is always loads of inspiration and tips. You are super woman. Lol. Really don’t know how you do it all. Love the card today. Totally jaw dropping beauty. Would have never thought to use the vellum this way. And the coloring of course is over the moon, some pretty crazy talent in those hands girl-friend. Lol. So happy to see the Coloring Challenge on again. Hope to join in soon. Thanks again sweetie for all you do to challenge and inspire us to create to brighten the lives of those around us. God Bless
Opps, Meant tongue wagging…. lol.
Your coloring is so inspiring.

gosh Kathy- you’d never think that was an ‘off’ day lol-the flowers are stunning & the whole card turned out so gorgeous!
I am such a huge fan of Hero Arts stamps. I have a rather large number of them. Mostly on the wooden blocks. That’s how long I’ve been stamping. I absolutely LOVE how you used them. And your coloring is amazing! Thanks for inspiring me!
Hi Kathy,
Wow that was a lot of work! I do love how the card turned out! I have never thought of highlighting with a brown distress ink and it really made though images pop! Another great tip I will use. Thank you.
You may have had to “work it” today but man you get a huge payoff. I learned a ton in this video! Thank you. And I’m a well seasoned stamper!
Gorgeous flowers and gorgeous card. I liked how your first flower came out at first.
Lovely card and thanks for the tips. Thanks for sharing.
Linda D.
Great to see the coloring process and how to rework. We all are hard on ourselves at times. Thanks for letting us in on that!

Wow, amazing card Kathy! I love the coloring – gorgeous technique and color choices.
You have a true talent for coloring. How beautiful. Thank you for introducing me to colors other than gray to shade.
Love it!
Bueno, cuanto más miro, más me enamoro. Es tremendo la capacidad que tiene para hacer de un simple papel y un sello, algo tan bello. Estoy enamorada de su trabajo, de su capacidad, del acceso que tiene a los materiales, y por que no, una tremenda envidia de no saber colorear como usted, ja, ja, ja.
Cada uno tiene su talento. Pero en este tutorial he aprendido varias cosas, pero sobre todo una que voy a poner mucho en práctica.
Muchas gracias a usted y sus patrocinadores, me lo estoy pasando genial, desgraciadamente el próximo martes estaré en casa de unos amigos en Madrid y no tienen internet. Pero buscaré la manera de seguirla hasta que termine el concurso.
Saludos,
Carmen
I just love your coloring, TFS
nice card , nice colors !!!
I definitely love the mum stamp. The succulents really surprise me. I wouldn’t normally be drawn to them, but these are wonderful. They’d be nice on a masculine card.
Simple and pretty card with amazing color combinations!!
Kathy well you do know how to work it, I love the card!!!!!! I love all the colors and how it ended up, you are so inspiring THANK YOU, THANK YOU I really appreciate all the work you do to inspire all of us! Keep up the freak work!!!!
Hi Kathy, You sure did work it to achieve those exquisite colors on the flowers. Thank you for the 30 day challenge and entering so many chances to win a prize. You rock!
Just beautiful!!! Love the plaid paper!!!

amazing coloring.
I love the warm tones you chose for the flower! So pretty!
Thanks for sharing. I love how the card turned out.
Thank you, Kathy, for a great job and beautiful work! It’s nice to have answers for ‘awry coloring’. I like the sentiment cut from foam with cardstock on it. Great dimension.
Love the colorful and dimensionality of your flower. Great card.
Really enjoyed your video, Kathy – watching you “work it” entertained and educated at the same time! Just love your finished card – the floral vellum over plaid looks amazing with the colored flower and rich black sentiment! Thanks for the inspiration!!
will be back for more techniques for coloring! LOVE the layering, copic coloring.
Your coloring is always amazing!!!!!
You always color everything so beautifully and I love the way you placed the sentiment on its side for a unique look!
Amazing video & card! Thanks for sharing your talents & tips!
Lovely card. It has a very romantic look.
