Hello Friends, How are you? I can’t believe that it’s the 30th day of the color challenge. I can’t thank you all enough for making the 30 days so rewarding with your enthusiasm, support, inspiration and participation! Today I have a video and a very simple card. Tomorrow or Friday I will announce the date for the next 30 day challenge and have a wrap up.
Unfortunately I only had time for a quick card. I wanted to send you off with some Copic blending.
To watch the video in HD or larger click here.
My “no line” coloring was begging to have a black line. Fortunately that wasn’t a problem because I was using the Misit. Let me tell you it was worth every penny!!!
These lilies are easy to color Isn’t it remarkable that I used the exact same colors for both of these lilies? The sentiment set is the same as what I used yesterday called, “Buzzwords”
IT’S TIME TO ANNOUNCE ALL OF THE WINNERS! !!

Giorgia (Ciocioscrap) says
Oh my.. I can’t believe I’m the winner of the goody bag! This challenge allows me to “meet” such incredible and talented people, to find amazing inspiration, to receive great encouragements and kind words from people I admire.. and also to know better you. The first time I looked at your blog, I was amazed by the fact you answered all the comments.. I thought “Wow! She’s amazing.. how can she find the time and the will to answer?!”.. then I saw the IG entries for the challenge and I saw your comments there and think: “Ok.. these entries are great so it’s worth to leave a comment”.. but then I read your comments under my photos and my heart melted and I realized you have the power to gift to everyone (not only super talented artists) a sincere smile and a better day. So thank you for this challenge and thank you for being you and for helping (with the other wonderful artists who join in) me increase my self-respect every single day.. and thank you for the prize of course!!!! (hope my english is understandable!)
Kathy Racoosin says
Thanks thanks Giorgia!! Unfortunately I don’t answer all of the comments on my blog but, I am trying to be better. Your english is FAB!!! 🙂
Ruby N says

Congrats to all of the winners!!! And a huge THANK YOU to Kathy for doing this wonderful even to get those creative juices flowing & kick-started!!! I didnt get around to posting pics of my coloring or anything this time around (ya know, life haha), but even just coloring has given me the nice jump start I needed to get crafty again!! So again, thank you so very much Kathy, and I can’t wait for Friday’s announcement!! ^_^
Kathy Racoosin says

Kathy – I have loved this color challenged – it has helped me get back into a creative groove that I had lost. Looking forward to another one! Thanks so much!
Kathy Racoosin says
Thanks great news Kathy THANKS!
Dolly says
I won? I WON!!!
I want to really thank you so much Kathy for the challenge! it really helped to keep me committed to doing something for me each day (well usually each evening but that’s besides the point!) And I have decided to do a new challenge #somethingcreativeeveryday
now I’ll have to see how long I can keep going, I thought this gave me a little more leeway (?sp?) in that it could be stamping or making something with supplies or what have you,,, but something! So thank you for 30 days of total fun!! and I’m so glad (and impressed with myself LOL) that I actually did every day!
Thanks again!!

TamiB says
Loved this 30 days – can’t believe it’s over! I’m not sure if I’m one of the winners or not. The Mama Elephant day says ‘Tami B’ won. There are 2 Tami Bs – and I see her post on a lot of the same sites so she and I share a love of crafts. She usually posts as ‘Tami B’ and I post as ‘TamiB’. Guess I need to be more creative. 🙂 If the other Tami B won – huge congrats!! If it was me I would be so excited – love these new Mama Elephant sets. 🙂 I’ll be waiting anxiously to hear. 🙂
Kathy Racoosin says
Oh no Tami!! I am emailing you now. 🙂 Thanks

Aileen Ryan says
Congrats to all the winners. Kathy I just made it in with my last one with just under 2hrs to spare. We Aussies like to cut it close. Have to say this has been brilliant and I can’t wait for the next one. Maybe with the next one I will remember to add the # tag to my posts on Flickr as I was just rereading something and read that comment. Ahh nothing like me to miss the important points.
Again thank you so much for organising such a wonderful challenge. Love the colouring of this last flower, I have a flower stamp that is similar but much smaller in size, will so have to try this, as it is done with my favourite colours.
Kathy Racoosin says
Thanks so much Aileen!! Hopefully by the next one you will be in Instagram? It’s the best way to share and use a hashtag. 🙂
Valerie Breingan says
