Hello Friends, I hope you had a fantastic weekend! Last night I was able to sit and color one of my favorite stamp sets by Mama Elephant. Boy o’ Boy can they design stamps!
It’s super easy to create such happy little scenes and I love the writing on the sentiments. I am sure that you have seen “Potted Pretties” before?
My stitched rectangles always come in handy when creating a window card.
I wanted to say that I think you all are “The best of the bunch” Thanks for your support and kind comments all the time. Later this week will be more giveaways and a video.
See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy
Day 30. Another $50 GIVEAWAY
Day 21. Good Vibes, Video & Giveaway
Day 5. & 6. Plus Giveaway
Glad you got in some time to color last night ❤️ I love this card! Your colors and how you always find a way to put some Kathy into your creations! And I thank you for doing the challenge again- it’s a big commitment in time and creativity – it’s so appreciated
Tracy, You are so welcome but please do your part and make time for yourself.:)
Ditto to Kathy’s comment. I have loved taking part in this challenge, although I have missed some days. I do have a cacti set that I haven’t inked up yet. Kathy, will you address something for me. I love all the cards by wonderful designers such as yourself, but I have a huge problem – once I see a design that I really like it’s difficult for me to come up with an original one myself – i.e., I have several of the MFTstamp recent releases, but after seeing so many of their designers use those stamp sets I wonder if I can come up with something original that hasn’t been done before – any solutions?
Susie, Try looking at Pinterest and combining elements that interest you. Dream about the stamp you want to do during the day. Your question is a hard one to put into words but don’t stress over it. Have fun for you. 🙂
I love, love, love this card Kathy! Amazing coloring on those adorable plants!
What a adorable card! I love the peeking faces from behind too cute!
Well, they might be excellent stamp designers – but what would they do without expert coloring artists like you?? Wonderful card!
Awww thanks Barbara. I guess we all can say we bring the stamps to life.:)
What a clever window for yiur sweet images! Those stitched dies are at the top of my wish list! Thanks for another great idea!
This is BEAUTIFUL KATHY! 😉 LOOOVE those stitched rectangles & your COLORING!!!! BEEEEUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😉
Your coloring on this card is fantastic! I love the sentiment!
This is really cute.
I also love my SSS stitched rectangles, but so far I have mainly used them to create a panel on top of my cardstock. I think it’s time I tried to use it for a window card, like you did. You are the best, Kathy. It’s easy to be supportive and enter kind comments if you manage to inspire us each and every day during this challenge. I have just realised I actually managed to do a little colouring myself, be it ever so basic. I won’t be linking it up on your blog, but of course you’re always welcome to view it on my blog. 🙂

How cute that you decorated those pots!
Love your card, love those cute cacti! Of course living in AZ, I see quite a few of those. I’m going to have to get some stitched rectangles, haven’t done this yet but they really add to the card design. I just received my crazy birds stamps, so I’m having fun with those. I’m thinking they will be cool on some BD cards. Have a lovely day and I’m still happily coloring!
Sheri, How about some cacti and a bird on the same BD card especially for your AZ friends? LOL Keep finding time for yourself! 🙂
What an adorable card. Awesome colors.
You had me at the plaid! I have gotten several plaid building sets in the last month. I really ought to break them out and give them a whirl! I too am loving the challenge. I don’t have a blog so it has given me a chance to show my work to someone other than family and friends and get constructive and positive feedback from fellow artists. It has also allowed me to see so many other wonderful artists’ work. Truth be told…if has pushed me to create more often. What in the world will I do when the challenge is over?
JoAnn, When the challenge is over you will make a commitment to yourself to continue to create and explore. Continue to post, watch You Tube for techniques, and follow blogs that inspire you. You deserve time for you. Plus you know you love to create.:)
LOVE these succulents! They look so nice with the plaid and checkered pots too! So wishing I was able to post my creations but I am still working on the camera issue.
What a great card. Love how you made the “window”. Your coloring of the pots makes this such a special scene. I love these stamps. I need to go get them. TFS
Enjoying all the creations you are
making! Keep up the great work.

I absolutely love each an every day that you post some inspiration . This set is darling so ditto
Love the card! I also love the adorable little happy faces on the flowers.
Every day is full of great hints, tips and INSPIRATION! YAY!!!
PS: Ordered the stamps and dies today ! LOVE them!!
Lisa, You go girl! Go for the inspiration and time for you. Enjoy and thank you for your kind words. 🙂
These are darling. My parents live in Arizona and they would love these cards. The beautifully colored impressions look great against the white.
Such a pretty card…love these cacti and the great die cut border.
Great card! Love how the text overlaps the stamped image, and the little bee with his flight trail. Love the depth you achieved in coloring the cactus plants. Thanks for sharing.

Kathy, I never noticed those cute little face flowers before. They really finish the card off perfectly. Wish I could get home to play with my dies, ahh well lucky I can colour so thats better than nothing at all.
It is always nice to be able to colour. Your window card sure is cute Kathy!!
Very pretty cute card love how you decorated the pots (Kathys touch) spending time with family sister up from AL Grandaughter in from CO life is so good:)
I had to go back and look at the stamp and I see where you added your own embellishments, like the smily faces on the flowers, coloring the flower pots. I have to do that with my stamps. Thanks for the idea! I just love Simon Says Stamps! They are becoming one of my fave stamp & craft companies! Now if I could just win Lotto so I could buy a whole bunch of things! I want to buy something for my niece’s birthday and treat myself too even though I shouldn’t. Now to just decide what I want to get for her.
Another gorgeous card Kathy! I really don’t know how you keep coming up with all your ideas,I’ve learned so much from watching your awesome videos.Those cacti stamps are so cute-wish I had some in my stash 🙂
Hi Kathy, I just love that card and the inlay, l like the cacti pots nice colouring in too as always , thanks again for the post, Cheers Anna.
I totally agree with all the comments. You give the freedom to create without all the barriers we place upon ourselves. Its all about doing it for myself now and not worrying about all the other “stuff” that sometimes disturbs my creativity. I’m not sure if that makes sence but I think you give way more with your posts than you realise so Thank you again.
I agree. I like the card better w/o the addition of the 3rd bird. Makes the eye travel around the card too much. This is like a marathon, but I can see the horizon now!
Onto day 23 myself. Cheers!
ADORABLE pots and SUPER CUTE card Kathy – LOVE IT – actually I LOVE IT ALL, especially with the double stitched window – these are my new MUST-HAVE!!!
I love your coloring on this card Kathy. It is bright and bold and draws you right in. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Kathy! Love your framed cards. Elena’s stamps are so sweet.
You are so sweet to Thank Us! Thank You for all the time and creativity you are putting into this challenge. Love your cards and love listening to your unedited videos while I watch you create. I don’t know how you do it. I haven’t been able to color every day and some days I have colored but not posted, and occasionally (like today) I catch up on your post from the day before, but I am loving The Daily Marker30 Day Coloring Challenge 2!
