Wow..WOnderful coloring !
What a beautiful card! Love those colorful birds!
Well, I loved your video and didn’t think it was a failure at all. And being a birdie lover, I just adore your beautiful card. I love seeing the cardinals when they come to So. FL (they’re so small, you really have to look for them!). Thanks for your videos, teachings, the color challenge & giveaways! Off to Power Poppy …
Your cards are so pretty. I sure would love to win those markers.
I have Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and they are so nice.
I would love to try the Spectrum Aqua. I love this coloring
challenge, it is so fun!
What a beautiful card and amazing watercoloring!
Love those new markers!!
Thanks for sharing!
What a beautiful card! You’re tempting me to try another medium.
Beautiful coloring!! Wow!! Thanks for the chance to win.
I love their alcohol markers and I love seeing how you use the watercolors.
What a gorgeous card. I’ve been playing with my regular Spectrum Aqua watercolors, but I’m thinking I might need the glitter ones, too. 🙂
Beautiful watercoloring and love these cardinals, such a bright and cheerful creation!
Love the card and the colouring! I haven’t heard of these markers before, will keep an eye on these now! 🙂
Beautiful card Kathy!
I’ve only just recently ‘found’ your blog and it’s wonderful and inspiring. I would so love to win your goodie bag giveaway, but as I don’t live in the US (I’m in Ireland), I don’t know if I qualify for a chance to win.
Either way, thank you for a brilliant and lovely blog. And have a lovely weekend, besides.
Wow! You make very beautiful cards, kathy. 🙂
This is one of my favorite days…water color, Power Poppy and you coloring! Love the video on this one. The touch of orange does give the cardinal some definition, I would have never used that. Thanks for all the info and your hard work.
I’m dying to try the Spectrum Aqua watercolor glitter markers! Thanks for high-fiving them! 🙂
WOW! Awesome card. Love the effects of the pens.
Gorgeous!! Love those cardinals!!
Such glittery goodness and so vibrant! Love it!
Stunning card, love all your added details!!!
I love how you blend color this card is just perfect.. thanks for sharing and inspiring.
OH MY GOSH!!!! Those markers look AMAZING!!!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
Cardinals are my favorite bird – I find it hard to get the colors blended properly though.
Beautiful colouring as always and absolutely love the card!
Oh WOW!!! Kathy, your card is GORGEOUS! Love these birdies and how you colored them. :o)
I watched your video… I mostly mess up my images when coloring background and then spending time and time fixing them. It never came on my mind to color background first and after that image. LOL
Also, watching you using white gel pen encourages me to use it more. :o) It looks so pretty and gives that something special to images. :o)
Thank you for sharing your gorgeous creation, video, tips and for the giveaway. Those markers are MUST TRY. :o)
HUGS

What black ink pad did you use to stamp the image?
I used SSS black ink pad. Thanks for checking in and have fun coloring. 🙂
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your talent and information! Very informative!
What a lovely image! It would make a darling Holiday card. The Spectrum Aqua markers remind me very much of the Wink of Stella markers I’ve seen used in videos. Do you find them similar Kathy? I’ve only ever used the clear one personally.
I have never watercolored with Wink of Stella but the Spectrum marker feels similar.I have seen other crafters using clear Wink of Stella over dried watercolor areas. A crafter friend of mine has used a watered down wink of stella marker when the glitter has gotten low and used it as a waterbrush with Zigs. Experiment have fun for you. Hope these tips help. 🙂
What beautiful coloring. I love the stamp set too!
Oh, the Spectrum Aqua watercolor glitter markers seem really cool, never heard of them before. Thanks for introducing me to them. ^^
You never cease to AMAZE me….love your talent and LOVE this challenge…
Love your card! It is beautiful!
I love the way you color around your image and finish it off. What a fun week of coloring inspiration!
Beautiful card. Love the glitter
Awesome video! Really enjoying this series. Thank you!
Beautiful coloring and a great stamp. Loving this month of coloring. Thank you so much for hosting.
These markers are gorgeous! Your painting technique is similar to mine. I water color almost everything I do because I don’t have markers yet and I love painting!
PS: The latest Watercolor Class at OCC was FANTASTIC. I have taken them ALL, and as you know I am a huge fan!
I highly recommend ANY and ALL classes at the Online Classroom and admit that all three of the Watercolor Classes are MY favorites! The most recent class is SUPERB!!
I totally agree that the OCC classes are Fantastic. They are a superb source to learn from and watch so many techniques. They are so worth the reasonable subscription fee and you have access forever to go back and review etc. Thank you for your sharing your wonderful experiences. 🙂
Your card is lovely! Thanks for the video tutorial, and for the chance to win.
have never used these markers and would love to give them a try – especially since most of my copics (favorite colors anyway) have dried out – great video and as usual wonderful coloring
Betty, you purchase refills for your copics. They are easy to refill and your refils will give you many marker fills. You can use refils for painting and various other techniques. This is one of the reason people invest in copics because they are refillable. I hope this tip helps. Thank you for joining in on the fun. 🙂
Great card and I love those birds.
what a fun video! love seeing you color and seeing new stuff
I have been thinking of trying these markers for some time…looks like now is the time! Thaks for the great video.
Great video! Thanks.
Oh my goodness! I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about a giveaway. These markers lol like sooo much fun! And I have an addiction to glitter 🙂
I love, love the cardinal stamp. They’re such beautiful birds…it’s pretty infrequent, but when they’re around, you can spot them a mile away where I live, as I think they just may be the only birds in our state that are colored (besides the blue jay, which are more rare to be seen than the cardinal!)
Thanks, as always, for inspiring me, and for sharing your wonderful talent. Much love. Xo
These markers have your name on them. Your addition to glitter will be satisfied. LOL Thank you for joining the challenge and finding time for you. 🙂
These markers look like so much fun…thank you for opening my eyes to something else I think I’m going to have to have…because who wouldn’t want a little glitter in their watercolor! But seriously they look like they blend beautifully!
Thanks for sharing you tips for water coloring. Your coloring is beautiful.
Another beauty!! You never disappoint. Definitely interested in those markers.
What I love most about your videos is that you are so creative and you let us see your true process. I absolutely can’t wait till your next cards are posted. I love love your 30 color challenges!
Glitter! I love it!
These markers seem to be like Wink of Stella just w/ more color. Is the sparkle about the same?
Tami, They seem the same but I haven’t done a side by side comparison. Have fun doing for you! 🙂
As soon as I saw the card I knew it was colored with the Spectrum Sparkles pens! Aren’t they delicious? I have had mine for about 1 week and am totally addicted to them!! They are mesmerizing!
LOVE your card and would love the storage for my pens!! Thanks to you and Jody for the chance to win some awesome goodies!!
Oooh, beautiful colors in those markers, Kathy! Count me in on loving those little cardinals, too! I am going to check out the Power Poppy blog for some inspiration!
Such a pretty card and unique effect with the markers. Thank you for all the time you put into this challenge and don’t apologise for your videos, they are always so helpful, I ove to watch them!
Love the card. It has a vintage feel! The markers look so cool!
Wow I’m Definately gonna get these.I had no idea you could do so much with them.There BEAUTIFUL. GORGEOUS cards Kathy.BLESSED day
Such beautiful coloring!
What a beautiful card you have created, but then I love cards with birds on them. Love watching the videos, they always have great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Love the sparkle in those aqua markers – must order some today!
I love your rambly chat! I think you may be just a little like me in this way: I can’t do two things at once! I think it’s just awesome that you would even try to encourage all of us followers by creating video and explaining your process. Some of us are still fairly new at all this, so I count it as instruction time! I always learn something. All that and a chance to get some fun stuff–who can complain? (Forgive me if I am overstepping; I had to do a teaching video once, then critique it. I kept getting sidetracked by random observations that had nothing to do with what I was supposed to be watching. Like the shine on my nose that whited out the screen, or the fact that my blouse was doing something funny at the neckline! It doesn’t take much to distract!) I think you are so brave to do all this, and with a new program to learn too. You are way too amazing!
I agree. It’s like the old saying I have trouble walking and talking and chewing gum all at the same time.LOL Your mind gets ahead of your mouth etc. Thank you Bev for always being so supportive and kind. Hugs, 🙂
I gotta try these! Love the glittery look.
What a cute stamp set and your coloring is amazing!
Love it! So beautiful. Really amazon coloring
Your videos are never failures…I could watch you paint all day…Thanks for the chance to win… 🙂 🙂
Today video and card are so wonderful!
The stamp and marker color is beautiful too.
I love watercolor and I want to try watercolor today!
Hi Kathy, wow, really loving those glittery Aqua Markers. Perfect for your 30 day challenge posts. You are such an inspiration to my card making and adore all your work. Please keep posting so I, as so many others, enjoy being privileged to your blog posts.
p.s. Hope I win, hehe.
When I create a card during this challenge I always have your videos in my mind and wonder what I would say to you if you were in the same room with me. And I always think Thank You!!!!
How sweet! I can always be in the room with you. LOL I’m glad you are finding time to enjoy yourself. 🙂
sweet card! I love it!
That stamp right there is delightful! Love the magic of AquaMarkers too!
Beautiful markers and gorgeous coloring as always. Love the hint of sparkle.
I love the gorgeous coloring on here and the white accents!!!
Wonderful card! I love those birds.

What a beautiful medium Kathy! Love what you did with the Cozy Cupfuls stamp set. I love experimenting with new mediums too. Hugs!
Love this! I am so inspired – off to watercolor now!
Oh my, I love that little scene, so beautifully coloured, and yes I can see the sparkle. These markers look like must haves so everything crossed. Off to hop now. Hugz
The colors are so vibrant and I just love that little bird and cups! Thanks for the video and chance to win and link up. Never visited them before but will again, now.
Loving the challenge, Kathy!

Beautiful card! I’ve only just bought my first Power Poppy stamp, think it may be one of many 😉

Super cute image and great coloring! Glitter markers huh? Gonna have to check them out =) Happy Friday!
I just discovered Power Poppy stamps and they are beautifully detailed. The one you used is one of my favorites. I just love the wee bird o the teacups. Lovely card!
I was wondering about these markers and thinking of trying out the clear one. Thank you for the introduction to them. I always enjoy seeing the watercoloring videos. I love using watercolor, but I need a whole lot more practice. Your card is darling.
Thank you for sharing! I’ve seen the Sparkle pens in the local craft store (I already have the Noir pens) and was wondering how they were to be used!
Fabulous coloring on your beautiful card!
Ooooh wonderful! Thanks for the chance to win! 🙂
Great card. Love the coloring. Thanks for the inspiration.
Hugs, Chantal S

Another beautiful card. I’d like to eventually try those markers. Thanks for sharing your talent.
There is no way you can possibly read every one of these comments. This has been a fun video .LOL
Just so mesmerizing to watch you color. I love it. Your card turned out so gorgeous. I also love cardinals. Thanks for another great coloring day.
Love to see different ways to color and with different coloring tools

Fabulous coloring with these markers.
Awesome card. I never have seen those pens before. They look very interesting. I do like Hallmark Scrapbooking & Crafts. Great store and great service. Thanks Kathy.
Love your card, so pretty! Fun to watch your video, you do a great job!
Love your card and how you colored it all. Beautiful!! Your video is really good too. It’s so helpful to see it in progress. Thank you!!!
Oh, so pretty! I just love the brights and jewel tones…and glitter?…sign me up! 🙂
How amazing! Love the glitter effect!
Hi Kathy!! These Spectrum Noir glitter pens look great. What a nice gift. I need some Power Poppy stamps! The geraniums are on my list and the parakeet too! Before I got into card making I raised exotic birds and they are facinating. Before that I would sneak around outside and take photos of the wild birds and that was thrilling too. Thanks for all that you share!
That card is beautiful. I only have the purple sparkle pen that I got as a freebie with an order from Crafter’s Companion, but it’s GORGEOUS! I haven’t seen the other colors live, but if that purple is any indication, they’re all stunning. Looking forward to playing with more of them!
Love the birds! Colorful and bright!
Gorgeous panels Kathy, love the image you are using. I always enjoy your videos and I like watching in real time without voice-overs. Its like we are crafting together in the same room. Those markers look similar to Wink of Stella in the style of the pen???
I’m not on Instagram so I don’t get to see what everyone is doing:(
TFS!
They feel similar in my hand and when I am using them. I hope this helps. Keep finding that special time for you. Thank you for joining me. 🙂
Love your coloring and those birds!
Great card love the birds.
Wow, your coloring is fabulous! Oh and thanks for the nice comments on my photo.
Hmmm, water color glitter markers…right up my alley! Those look like fun!
That image is lovely! I really love cardinals and how vibrant the glitter markers are!
Beautiful card! Now I have another set of markers to add to my wishlist….lol. Gorgeous ♥
Love the bright colors of these watercolors pens. Nice card
Cardinals are my favorite and you make them look so lucious with the watercolors! What a great surprise to receive in the mail. I am sure they would be a great addition to anyone’s collection. Thank you for all of your beautiful work. Can you share the name of the stamp set that you used?
Great glitzy markers.
beautiful card – those markers look amazing!
Wonderful cards
Beautiful coloring on this card! You make it look so easy!
I can watch you color and blend and listen to you talk all day long. You color with such naturally raw ability that no matter what you touch, sparkles and turns to liquid gold. (Even if the medium isn’t sparkly). The Spectrum Aquas remind me of the Copic atyou Spica pens.
I love the image of the stacking tea cups/bowls and the cardinals. I love these challenges and love how spoiled I am becoming with all the videos this time around. My internet has been on/off for last few weeks so it is like Christmas when I am on and can watch a bunch of you. Thank you so very much for doing the challenge and for a chance to win. You rock! ~Mari~
Kathy your videos r always fun, great and informative we all love you and so appreciate that you take your time to do this for us… Your coloring and cards are always beautiful..
using the Orange another great tip.. Your card exceptionally beautiful.. Off to Power Poppy
I’ve not done any water coloring, but this looks so good. Thanks for a chance to win, and maybe give it a try!
Kathy the video was anything but a fail I love that you just chat away….keeping it real. Your colouring skills just blow me away! I just got the set of regular aqua snow I’m wanting these (whine). Thanks for another awesomely inspiring day!
Oh…I love those teacups, what fun colors and a cute little scene with the birds!! <3
FIZZ and SPARKLE – what FUN 🙂
BEAUTIFUL stamp and FABULOUS colouring, these markers look like they would be great to work with!!!
PLEASE don’t include me in your prize draw Kathy – while it is always awesome to win crafty goodies, especially ones I’ve not tried before or ones that are difficult to access here, the postage on the storage case would be way too expensive for international.
PS – don’t know what you think was wrong with your video, I saw you in action, learnt some creative tips and got inspired too => THANK YOU for sharing!!!
Color + glitter! Can’t imagine not having fun with those!
La-Dee-day! Those are fun, sparkly markers! Your instructions and style help me so!
I almost never color my images because I’m kind of intimidated by all the different paints and markers so I always appreciate your tips and hints! These little birds are so cute and fun!
I love the bright colors in your card. Very cheerful!
Very nice! The colors are rich and vibrant!
Such a sweet image and card, Kathy.
I managed to do a little mindless colouring in a colouring book at the hospital yesterday (pre-op exams, but surgery of DH has been posponed for a few weeks because of his blood values and his lungs). Also tried a little watercolouring last night but I was really too tired to concentrate. And now I’m back at my computer trying to make up for lost time and meet the deadline on Monday morning…
Beautiful card and wonderful video! Love the colors!
Oh my, those colorful birds are gorgeous!
Oh how I love glittery goodness! Those cardinals are so fun! The cardinals in our yard seem very shy. I love how they are dedicated to each other! Thanks for sharing your love of coloring!
Hi Sue here, what very vibrant colours, and on craft card too!
Love your colouring … and added white details.
I just love this stamp and have seen it colored many different ways. but you have such a unique style with everything that you color…………just so fun and beautiful!
Love your color combinations and “how” you achieve your signature style. Thanks for the inspiration, Kathy.
Oh my! Those markers are wonderful! The cards are beautiful with all that sparkle. Love your work and thanks for doing this 30 day coloring challenge- it is so much fun!
What a beautiful coloring !! Thanks for your video. And the little finished card is stunning. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love your card. I was excited to see you using the new spectrum noir sparkle pens! I just received one so now I can’t wait to use it. Thanks for sharing your process with us and for the opportunity to win in your giveaway!
This is such a cute image and you colored it beautifully!
Just beautiful. Your coloring inspires me to do more.
What fantastic maarkers! I would love the chance to win this set and get busy playing with them.
wow, I love this card
I am still hanging in there getting something done each day. Always stop by here to see what is up
Your video was definitely not a failure! I love it when you share your process with us! I really enjoy your 30 day challenges. Thanks Kathy!
How lucky we are that you share your creativity, time and talents with us, not to mention the generosity of the give-aways! Your cards are always amazing; your videos inspiring! Thank you for giving me incentive to colour, to create, to design, to PLAY!
~carol
I love how you add white to your work. It really adds so much. I have the regular Spectrum Aqua markers, but now glitter?! I must get them.
Those markers look fabulous! Love your water-colouring! It is hard to see the sparkle though. I coloured again on Day 5 and made it into a card so I just linked it up today. 5 days and going strong! I enjoyed your video – thank you for the inspiration! And thank you for another awesome giveaway!
Gorgeous! I especially love the background shading!
I did not realize these came in sparkle!! LOVE!!
Beautiful shading on your card Kathy! Those birds are adorable! Thank you for the chance to win this awesome prize
Hi Kathy
This video was super useful … I have a cardinal stamp from another set that I am going to watercolor. It was fun to watch you color these 2 birds.
Your card is so beautiful and bright! I would love to try those markers and to create something similar to your cart!
Fab colouring am loving your posts and I am so trying to find some time to get colouring thanks for all your inspiration.
Love the glitter colors! So fun! Thanks for the chance to win !
What a joy it is to watch you color with the new SN glitter watercolor brushes! Such a fan of the blue!!!
Love the color pens you used. Appear to be very easy to use.
I love this!
Such fun! Love all of your projects!
What a beautie. Amazing as always ❤
Thank you SO much for this video. I have both the Spectrum Aquas and the Spectrum Sparkle, and let me tell you. I had so many issues with those sparkles. Well, the biggest issue was letting my niece use them with me for the first time, because she had purple everywhere!! haha Boy does that pen leak. I will have to go back with a pin to the ones that wouldn’t pop open. (Thank you for that tip)
I love my aqua markers, but I think I need better paper, because they don’t blend well on what I have. My sparkle pens I used on Christmas cards, and they remind a lot of Wink of Stella, with color. They are SO sparkly! Just gorgeous.. The colors are amazing. I did put them up though, because they are so messy.. Just so my niece wouldn’t grab them, when I’m not around.
You have inspired me to have another go with them, though. This card is so gorgeous. I think maybe I just wasn’t using them properly. I’m also going to get some of that paper. It’s lovely.
Beautiful card. Thanks again for a wonderful challenge. I’m going to get like 20 of those storage containers.. all my Spectrums are in a box, and I have every color, even their alcohol markers.. I just love them, but I’m still working on getting brush nibs for the alcohol markers. So expensive.
Eek! So sorry for the long rambling post! ♥
Hey Kathy!
I first want to say that your card is GORGEOUS! I love the water coloring that you did and that image is just lovely! Your white pen work really makes the image pop, love all that detail. And now I want to say something that I truly mean from the bottom of my heart. I really enjoyed your video this time around, more so than most of your videos. I think it is because you were just rambling on about things in general and you were being your true self… I enjoyed listening to you and watching you switch from color to color and I enjoyed seeing how you handled one of the markers not flowing and how you went ahead and took the pin to get it to flow… these are the little things that most people edit out of their videos and I really enjoyed seeing a video with real life going on in it…. and I appreciate that so much. So thank you for sharing such a wonderful video and thank you for the chance to win!
Hugs,
Jo

I love watching you color and explain what you’re doing along the way. These birds are lovely, as is the finished card. I wish we had cardinals out my way. I like the idea of a bit of shimmer in the marker and certainly like that they’re so easily blended. I hope to do a little coloring during the Super Bowl, but not sure I can concentrate on both at once. So far, my 5 minutes a day has been used stamping some images. Gotta start somewhere, huh? Off to check out Power Poppy and the hop.
Cute image and beautiful card!
I hav n’t heard of these markers. Love your card!!
Wonderful challenge. Great card!
Just a lovely card, quite impressive.
Love your cards and coloring and videos – just like a chat with a friend! Thanks so much for all you share!!!
Hello from coloring Cathy. This is my favorite so far! I would love love love to try those markers .
Thank you so much for the Stamping Bella tips. I love how you changed the stamp into a girl about to float away. It looks almost like a completely different stamp.
Today’s card is gorgeous! I love the stamp and your coloring! My sparkle brush pens just arrived and now I can’t wait to try them out!
Kathy you lucky duck you. Nothing like trying something out and being able to tell the world what its like. Mind you they found a perfect person to highlight their product. Well done, what a beautiful card you made.
You are an inspiration. You make me want to color all the time!
Your cards get prettier and prettier! I am really loving this challenge so very much!
I am def trying these pens. Thank you Kathy for your awe inspiring videos. So much to learn from you.
Great card! I’ve been itching to see those markers in action. Still can’t decide if they’re a must have but you worked your magic with them! 😉
Lovely card! Reminds me of my love for bird watching! Such cute critters. Thank you for sharing.
SUPER AWESOME!! THANKS for sharing the FUN New Markers!! They look AMAZING!! THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
What a great storage unit, too.
I really liked your video….not a failure at all! I enjoyed watching you color and talk, while my husband watches the Super Bowl (not a fan of THAT!)
Never tried those markers, but they look very pretty. I do have the Zig watercolor brushes and like them. I think it depends on the paper you use as far as getting them to blend. I love the vivid colors!
Thanks for sharing! I will be back.
Thank you for the tutorial. When it comes to papercrafts I love glitter so may have to give these a try.
So cute!
Your coloring is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
This is such a fun stamp and the way you colored it made it pop! Fantastic card!!
So beautiful’ and love the marker storage.
Beautiful. I haven’t used these markers before, but used to use the Studio II Alcohol Markers many years ago and loved them. (Till they went out of business and I couldn’t get refills anymore. 🙁 I’ll definitely be looking in to these pens.
WOW!! It turned out absolutely beautiful!!!
Thank you so, very much, Kathy! I am so excited to be one of the winners!!!
