Hello Friends, It’s Day 27 and I am starting to think what will I do when the challenge is over…not counting on catching up around the house lol. I am going to miss “seeing” you all everyday š
With that said I am hoping to get in a video in the next few days. The flower was borrowed from a friend and I think it’s from Crafters Companion.
We were sitting and chatting … sometimes that’s the best way to mindlessly color and try new things. I have been wanting to color something with my grey markers. (you can find grey markers in sets in case you didn’t know)
I just kept on rolling with this and added some yellow around the petals.
and then some lines around the yellow. I keep adding more lines and then boxes.
The boxes needed to be shaded and I felt it was finally finished. Try boxing in one of your images for a more graphic look. Thanks for all of your lovely comments and feedback it’s so appreciate. Hugs, Kathy

This is beautiful, very stunning. I love the graphic look of it, and the yellow and gray, wow. Looks so awesome. Michelle t
Love what you created. Thank you for sharing.
I love the yellow and grey together! Wonderful!
Lovely card Kathy!! Love how you kicked it up a notch or two or three š
I’m going to miss your encouragement and the lovely compliments daily (as well as all the lovely compliments from the group!)
I was never really an instagramer before I decided to take the challenge and now I love it!! I also fixed everything so I could post quick and easy to my blog from iPad and that also lead to me doing my first video tutorial…and that was all because you got me to do something NEW by posting on instagram everyday. It was a month of new things for me! Thanks so much Kathy!!
That’s beautiful! I love all of the little details you added, it really makes a big difference.
ah… we are going to miss you too (course my house might look a bit better… not gonna lie) – but i spose we really don’t need a challenge to keep coloring (it just gives me a daily kick in the pants LOL) If you do another challenge you know you’ve got lots of takers š I love todays edition – what you did with that image is wonderful – love your doodles: lines and boxes and then the shading. oh and not forgetting your signature white dots š just wonderful. thanks so much- now back to my coloring!
I ‘ll miss it too!!!
We could still post with the daily30 hashtag on Instagram…
Just for fun… To see whats going on at the girls…
I’ll see all of your youtube videos in the Future!
Nice job. IF this is just mindless coloring and doodling inside a stamped image….Keep it up. It is absolutely beautiful. I like the hint of adding boxes to give it a more graphic feel. TFS this with us.
I just love this idea, so beautiful. The colors are great together.
Just Beautiful! Love this. Thanks for sharing.
I just adore the graphic feel and the gorgeous grey and yellow. I don’t think this is another that can doodle a stamp to beautiful colored perfection! Always a pleasure and inspiration to visit you. Thanks
This is beautiful! Your doodling really adds a world of difference. I’m not a doodler but maybe I should just try it.
pretty darned cool….
After this is done, you could do a technique challenge š
Kathy, I love the gray, It looks so good with the yellow. My favorite part is the boxes, I would never think of that but it makes it “pop” so much. I have to try that, I can’t believe the challenge is almost over, I have not posted any of my projects yet. I have to get going.
So pretty!
Love it! Perf smidge of zentangling finishes it off nicely!!
What a striking image!! I love the effect the boxes give the overall design.
This challenge has been soooo much fun and has made me step outside my comfort zone a few times. I love how you added the boxes around your flower on this post.
The way you changed that flower is amazing!
Wowowowow! Love that stunning flower, Kathy! ā„
Always like gray and yellow together. White dots again adds something more to the flower but the squares really make this more dimensional. Thanks
I’ve learned so much….. I love tangling and it’s not something I can get to often. How cool to make rectangles to compliment your stamping. Love the white to accent the flower center. thank you!
That is awesome. Thanks for sharing the “before” plain stamped flower so we could see the masterpiece it became. I’m going to miss this everyday coloring too, thanks for doing it.
Oh so nice, you have given me so many ideas I can’t keep track of them all! TFS.
How fun, Karhy. Love the colour combo and your additions. Never would have thought to add some boxes.

Gorgeous coloring, Kathy! Love the soft yellow with the gray & the doodling is amazing. Love the boxes around the flower. It really adds to the whole picture. I’ve really enjoyed all your colorings!!
Lovely. Love greys and yellows together. ^_^
I love the gray flower! Sometimes I just use my darker colors to color with to come up with gloomy combinations that can be happied up by putting them on lighter backgrounds! LOL
Thanks for having this fun challenge! It couldn’t have been a better time for it. It has gotten me up for at least a few minutes each day even after I broke my foot. Not sure I would have gotten up if not for the challenge. Will post today’s creation later today on IG!
Absolutely gorgeous š
Lovely Kathy! I really like the way you expanded the flower and embellished it.
Beautiful Kathy! I”m so far behind in taking photo’s of my coloring projects, I haven’t turned them all into cards yet, but at least I have a bunch that I can do that with. I skipped coloring yesterday, between church, chores and going to see a Broadway play, not enough time! But I have a bunch of coloring planned for today, need to stamp a bunch of images so I can get to it.
This is beautiful and love how you expanded the flower and added to the black little lines on the boxes and flower. Looks like stitching and wonderful look. I should try this
Love the gray and yellow. Beautiful! I was in Michaels this morning, they have Artist Loft/Art for everyone. for 50% off. I got the Still Live Floral Postcards for $4.59. The paper is 168.9 lb. I used the back of one to test my markers, does not show thru. Also, I always check their Clearance, today I found 2 Copic Wides a W5 Grey and E29. They were $1.99 each. They are very juicy, it is just the outsides are rough.
PS the Flowers are open, and the print lines are a light gray.
Start a new challenge, that’s what! š
I love the zen coloring but can you do a video on how you did the flower because it is BEAUTIFUL! ?
I never knew boxing in an image makes such an impact visually!!! Thanks for sharing Kathy!! It’s already day 27??!! I have so much to catch up on! LOL We will miss seeing you everyday after this month long challenge too.
Eeek, that is darling. Does your mind ever take a break??? I love this and how you took a simple stamp image and developed it into something so artsy. Thanks for sharing.
Wow,what a huge difference the zen colouring and boxing in have made to your image,it’s lovely! WOW!
pretty card.. I like the colors you used…. Very untraditional.
Wow, this is beautiful. Love all the Greys. Also like the idea of the boxes.
Wow Kathy you have so much creative talent… This flower is beautiful and those boxes make it look like it is up off the paper gorgeous… This challenge has been soooo fun and I do have a bunch to catch up on but so worth it. I am now up on flicker and Instagram and have so appreciated the extremely kind and wonderful people on Instagram wow some amazing ladies and you brought us all together.. You might watch out on the next one I having a feeling that there will be a lot more cause I think we are passing this around to get ALL our friends involved…:) it has been such a pleasure and you kind inspiring comments and the precious time you have given is always a gift beyond measure. I will miss all of this and so look forward to the next Kathy challenge.. The Kindest of Regards
This is really different! I love it! Thanks for sharing Kathy!
Never thought greys could look so good.This is really nice Beautiful
That’s great Kathy. I love that flower and the boxes are great. I’m going to try that. Also, I didn’t know that you could get the grey Copics in sets. As a matter of fact I don’t have any yet and I have been trying to find a person or tip of a video to where I could find out which colours some one should start with. (I can’t afford them all at once so it would be nice to know where to start.) I hope you do host another colour challenge, it is fun!
Love the grey and yellow.
Gorgeous! I don’t think I’d have chosen those colors, but they’re great. Will have to break out the Greys. Thanks for the ideas.
Fabulous card! I was so thrilled to see the added doodling. I just attended a mini tangling class and got all excited about the prospects of what could be done with cards. Thanks again for another fantastic sample!
Kathy
you make this Zen doodling sound so easy but you know whats the hardest? Knowing when to stop and not ruin what your working on. Im too relaxed with the whole process, have tried and always end up with so much detail you can’t even see the original design or my design varies so much in size it looks like its suffering from a hernia. I think I will content myself with looking at yours and others like you who just have the knack.
This looks great!!! We will miss your challenge and all the fun posts that have been tagging your challenge <3
Gorgeous, just like you!!
Brilliant job. Looks like you painted it freehand.
Absolutely stunning. Think this is one of my favorite posts! Love the coloring and shading on this one. I wish I had your artistic eye!
Stunning!!! š
I wouldn’t have thought that a flower colored mostly in grays would be so lovely. Your artistic fingers are magical!
OMG it’s almost over what are we going to do now. I do wish Kathy that you had more time to do a video on each day. I have learned so much but the days you had no video there were things you did that I would love to know how myself. You truly are a wonderful person and artist and we all love to see your work. Thanks again.
