Hello Friends!! How’s your weekend going?

FullSizeRender 2

Well yesterday was a bad day and when you need to color the most sometimes it just doesn’t happen. Luckily I was able to color PART of this just in the nick of time for my post today. The flowers are from Mama Elephant and I love the variety in the stamp set called, “Freestyle Florals“.

Hopefully I can finish this today. Did you notice the bloop of ink on the flower petal! Im going with it.  Tomorrow I will explain the background and little about the colors. I did want this to be soft greys and yellows but, you can see that didn’t happen.

See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    Kathy, I don’t know what you were hoping for here but my first thought when I saw it was WOW! I LOVE IT! Great job. Now I must go do MY colouring! LOL

    If you’re talking about the green blob on the edge of the petal – nobody would notice if you hadn’t mentioned it. Petals are not always colored the same – internal happenings make weird markings on petals. I think the petal looks great. If you’re stressing – relax.

  8. Joan VanCourt says

    Love the background. This is looking pretty. Green bloop in flower petal. I like it and I am curious of the outcome. Thanks for sharing.

  10. Dolly says

    I can’t wait to see how you finish up this card!! so far I am loving it! can’t wait to see/hear more! 😀
    Hope DH is even better today than yesterday. 😀

  11. Sue says

    THANK YOU for including the “bloops!” I find it VERY difficult to make a perfectly clean card and often have to cover things up in a creative way. 🙂

  12. Adele says

    HI Kathy! Don’t know what your bad day entailed, but hope today is a much better one. Just wanted to let you know that your project on today’s Online Card Class lesson is one of my favorites and I can’t wait to try it!

  13. Bobbie says

    I think the background is very cool, the way you have with colors is just amazing. I took the copic online class and still have difficulties getting the colors just right. I hope that one day throughout your 30 day color challenge I can get as good as you with all the coloring techniques. Thanks again and hope all is ok with your hubby’s recovery.

    This so reminds me of how I start with something in mind and finish with something I never thought of. I need to work on accepting that. My trash can gets so full sometimes. How come yours always come out spectacularly??? It’s a puzzle.

  15. Roxy says

    Beautiful color combo looking forward to how you did your background. As for that bloop I think I am queen of copic spit ups and little oops on my creations. But it is kind of. A funny thing too cause when you see so much beauty your mind doesn’t see the oops just the beauty.. Sorry you had a bad day yesterday hoping things r better today. Kind Regards. Roxy

  16. Nora says

    I cannot wait to see how you created that background. It looks so cool!! As for the bloop of ink-if you had not pointed it out, I never would have noticed!! It is beautiful!!

  17. barb macaskill says

    Dying to know about the background as I think it is quite stunning! LOVE the flowers! A wonderful pop of brilliant colors! TFS!

  19. Gail Plaskiewicz says

    I couldn’t find you’re coloring “oops” as you called it at first. Your good! I’ve never used Copic markers cause they are a bit to expensive for me. I also need to know the difference between these markers and any others. I have a friend who raves about them. Also, I need to be sure that every one I buy works before I buy it. I bought some fabric markers and tried them when I got home. I couldn’t try them in the store. The green one doesn’t work at all! Its all dried up! That’s what I hate about buying pens or markers that you can’t try first. I was shocked when I bought 2 packs of colored pens from Dollar General and every single one of them worked when I took them out of their packs! I can’t tell you how many times that has not happened. Then you have to go back to the store and get another pack and hope that a whole batch of them aren’t bad and this store got them all (I used to work in retail and this happens a lot.) Love the colors you used and the way you did your leaves. I’m doing that on a page I am coloring. It’s very colorful which is how I like things.

  20. KT Fit Kitty says

    Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous! I know it’s not finished but it’s stunning just as is!

  23. Erin Glee says

    Kathy~Love to see you embracing imperfection…I am jumping on that train!
    Your dapple-grey-pony background makes your sunshine flowers really pop in a happy way!
    Hugs for yesterday & cheers for today~ Erin

  24. Barbara says

    Beautiful! I had to go back to find the bloop. I love the variety of flowers in this stamp.

  25. Cindy C. says

    Hi Kathy I can’t wait to see the finished project, it’s already so beautiful!! I coloured an embossed panel today, waiting for it dry before sharing! 🙂

  27. Mary R says

    Actually, I like the brighter colors you selected, more so than I would have with just gray and yellow. So what if there is a touch of green on one of the petals? You can use your color lifter and significantly lighten it if it really bothers you. Handmade items are rarely “perfect”, which is what makes them special and not mass produced/identical.
    Love the pink contrast with the yellow/orange. Very pretty!

  28. Donna Dacy says

    I looked and looked for the “bloop” and it wasn’t until some one was questioning some thing that I saw it…not much of a blunder. Unless you know it is there, it will probably never been seen. I love the grey background .. really makes the colors pop. Great design, great coloring…Great Job!! TFS

  29. Sheri K says

    Love this! I have been working a bit each night on my free form art journal, have 1 set of pages “complete” and will send you a photo. Working on another set as well–very relaxing to do as I watch TV

  30. Tricia B says

    Your coloring amazes me! How you can make colors blend so beautifully! If you had not pointed out the error I would had never seen it! Just gorgeous!

  31. Aileen Ryan says

    Kathy, Love the piece, of course I like bright so happy with the way it has turned out. Cant wait to hear how you have achieved the grey background, its wow.

  32. Glenna Chong says

    I love how you coloured your “freestyle florals!” So pretty! I like how you just go with what your have and move on to create such beautiful works of art. You inspire the OCD in me to just let go and accept my mistakes and “go with it.” I love watching and following your 30-Day Coloring Challenge . Thank you.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Thanks so much Glenna. 🙂 Maybe you should try a glass of wine before you color…just a try one….if you drink? 🙂

  33. Shirley says

    It has been raining since 5am (now it is 8:34pm) and a little grey out, but seeing this post brightens up the evening. I like the colors and even the bloop of ink. I like your teaser…will explain background tomorrow. Love to lean how you designed the beautiful background.

  34. Rufus says

    This may not be the colorway you started out thinking of, but I like it! Will be waiting to see where you take it next. Not to mention the tease about the background! I don’t have any Copics, but maybe I can use the technique with some of my coloring mediums. Got in some coloring today again! Back on a roll, yahoo.

  35. KathyJH says

    Sorry you had a bad day. Hope things have improved – sucky days just suck.
    Love the coloring – that background is fabulous and your oops just makes it more real.

  39. Tracey Magner says

    Kathy, so sorry you had a bad day. Hope it wasn’t to do with hubby’s progress. The card is beautiful. Thanks for showing us the color copic’s you used, I like that.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Thanks Tracey! No…it was due to no sleep then I just get weepy 🙁 Dang dog!

  42. Milka says

    Sorry to hear your day wasn´t so good. As I see in comments, you didn´t sleep… I am awful if I don´t sleep. LOL 😀
    Your coloring is AMAZING!!! These flowers look so nice. 😀
