Hello Friends, Can you believe it’s Day 26!! I am not quite ready for the challenge to be over. I am back with a card and another giveaway today. Thank You all that responded in the comments… it was fun to hear how many days you have colored. I am thrilled that some of you jumped in and out and some of you colored daily. Either way you are coloring more than before and that’s so awesome. If you colored two days that’s a success to me!
When I travel I pack up some of Simon Says Stamps Coloring Cards in my bag, two brushes and some watercolors. Suzy Plantamura designed the cards for Simon and each one is a beauty to me. After watercoloring this card from the set…
I thought it would be fun to cut out the wreath & sentiment and layer them up. The card on it’s own is a stand out and it’s not necessary to cut it out but, when the mood strikes you.. you go for it lol.
In this post I created a spatter background for two cards. When I cut out the pineapple wreath it just fit perfectly on my spare background. I cut a banner around the sentiment from the card…. watercolored and spattered it. Added some foam tape to the wreath & I was finished.
Of course I added some white accents with my white gel pen.
The pineapple is from this set of 12 cards. Each design in printed on Tim Holtz watercolor paper (my favorite paper) Such a great value especially if you have seen the price of store bought cards these days. (All SSS products are 25 % off until the 31st. CODE IS FLASHSALE to get the 25%off. )
This set of 12 is all about love & the designs are just as wonderful and oh so fun. Don’t forget to use code “SSSFLASH” to get the 25% discount.
One more thing …. If you are doing some shopping during the sale I promise you will love this if you don’t have it already.
I used the Smile die cut on Day 1. it’s the perfect size for cards and it’s only $5.99 before the sale. It’s rare that I nudge you to buy something unless I use it a lot and I truly love it.
ok let’s roll to the giveaway.
GIVEAWAY : I have TWO $25.00 gift certificates to giveaway to the Simon Says Stamp store. Two random winners will be announced at the end of the challenge.
TO QUALITY FOR THE GIVEAWAY: just say “hi” in the comment area …or you can tell me what your favorite coloring medium is. Not required tho 🙂 It’s just fun to hear.
That’s it for today. I will be back tomorrow for “It’s All About You Feature”
Have a great Saturday and I am grateful for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

That pineapple wreath is fun!
My favorite coloring medium is promarkers.
Hi Kathy… stopping by to say Hello! I’m enjoying all sorts of watercolouring mediums at the moment… especially using inks to watercolour. Loving visiting here each day. Your are truly talented. Thank You 🙂
Hi Kathy!!! What a great colouring of pineapples.. I love it..
Hi Kathy! Love your fun pineapple wreath. Right now, I’m feeling most confident using coloured pencils, but I may be reaching for my Inktense pencils today or do some regular water colouring…
Hi. 🙂 I love to use watercolor paper with brushes and watercolors or watercolor pencils. I do like the idea of having stamped and cut pieces available for on the go crafting. Pretty tropical card today. 🙂
Hi Kathy! Just love the pineapple wreath!! Just started watercolors but mostly use stamps and ink pads.
Zigs are my favorite – i am going on vacation and stamped my own “coloring cards” in case there’s a rainy day at the lake!
Hi Kathy 🙂
LOVE your card, the pineapple wreath is COOL and your background AWESOME!!!
I just bought a postcard colouring book that I look forward to colouring with my new-to-me (and growing) Copic marker collection, I am IN LOVE with them, I LEARN SO MUCH from YOU and from PRACTICING too!!!
Hi Kathy! Love your challenge! I’ve participated a handful of times and may have colored more and forgot to add my post!
Forgot to add that I love copics for coloring. I’ve been using them the longest and have the best results with them, although I’m enjoying watercoloring too!
Hi Kathy! I love copics but I also have some metallic colored pencils that are also getting used a lot lately.
Good morning Kathy! Cute pineapple wreath they are so trendy right now. My favorite coloring medium is water color, though I have been going to colored pencils lately because they are portable and easy to take on the go.
Great card I like watercolor and colored pencils.
absolutely beautiful, as always!
Hi! Just love all the ideas! My favorite is watercolor!
Hi Kathy! Love this cute card and how realistic you colored the pineapples!
I have just begun to do some water coloring and I am really enjoying it.
My favourite medium is alcohol markers so far I am still learning but I feel most confident with them. Your challenge rocks! I am finally adding a coloured card to the challenge!
I love those pineapples!!! I mostly color with copics but I’m trying to learn to use colored pencils. I just need more time to color!
I don’t know what my favorite coloring medium is anymore. I really like watercolor pencils, but I have been reaching for markers more often lately.
Hey sweet lady!!! Love all your coloring! Been having fun doing different coloring mediums over stencils lately! Thanks for the chance to win!
~God bless
Such lovely cards, Kathy. The coloring cards are something new to me, so definitely checking them out. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Kathy! Happy Saturday!
What a coolio card! I am loving my zig markers lately to color!
Hi there, lovely lady!
Hi Kathy! Love your pineapple card and the way you colored it all!!! I prefer water colors over anything but I do struggle with them.
Hello! Your card is so lovely and Simon Says Stamp has done it again!
Hi! I really like the way you used the coloring card. My favorite medium (right now) is my Copics. I love a lot of mediums (As long as there is color involved, I am in!), but I seem to reach for my Copics most of the time.
Hi Kathy! I just love the various colors you used for the pineapples!! Love how you cut it out and made such a pretty card too! Right now my favorite way to color is with the Zig Clean Color markers or Distress Inks/markers. Can’t believe the 30 days are almost over either–will surely miss it!
Hi:-)
Beautiful card! I just got Stabilo pens, so their are my favorite now:-)
I really love these coloring cards!!Great variety and easy to whip up a card when needed!!
My favorite coloring medium is watercoloring! It relaxes me and makes me feel as if I am in a trance!
Would love to shop at SSS without hubby being a grumble bunny! LOL Fingers crossed and thanks for all you do for us!
Hi! Such gorgeous cards. I love the idea of the coloring cards. I guess I mostly color with markers. Some Copics and some Bics. I would love to take a Copic class so I could really learn to use them better. Happy weekend!
Hi Kathy, I really liked your pineapple wreath. Great coloring. I use Copics for my coloring and am working at mastering the shading. Lots of fun.
Hi Kathy. Loving this challenge. Wish I had a little more time this week. But I am starting a love affair with water coloring right now. I just need to practice !
Hi! Favorite coloring medium is Copics.
Been watching and coloring along with you! Love your techniques and inspiration! I love to color with my Derwent Inktense pencils, watercolor crayons by Tim holtz! Gellatos have been great fun! I love anything I can smudge and smear! I enjoy your blog.
Gorgeous colouring as always Kathy … I am pretty much a Copic addict LOL although I have been playing with coloured pencils and mineral spirits a little lately as well 🙂
Happy Saturday Kathy, Fabulous card I love how you added the splatters to the background! I really enjoy my Copic markers and hope to one day learn to watercolor. I love the beautiful look watercolors create.
My current favorite coloring medium is Twinkling H2O’s.
Thank you again for your inspiration!
Cynthia
Hi! Love this pineapple wreath card. I like to use Copic markers to color.
These cards are so cute!! About my favourite medium, I usually colour with Spectrum Noir Markers cause I haven’t got copics hehehe
“Hi!” My favorite medium would depend on what I want for my final result. Sometimes it’s watercolor pencils and the Dove blender. Other times, Copics, or tim holtz markers, or Tombows, or “plain” colored pencils, with or without Gamsol. I can get so carried away. I do love to color, just one of the reasons I love your challenges and respect all the work you do and your talents. Thank you.
Love seeing what all you create. I love the Kuretake watercolor markers. So easy to use and vibrant.a
Hi Kathy! Who knew a wreath made up of pineapples could be so beautiful! A fantastic card!
Hi Kathy! Great coloring as usual! I think I like my alcohol markers the most!
When I’m stamping I use my regular stamp pads – usually Stampin’ Up since they
are handy. To color i like my Zig and the Tombow dual-brush. I had copics
but couldn’t get the hang of them – gave them to my daughter.
I’m going to look into the coloring cards. I started an order for SS and I’ll
add some of the cards while there is a sale.
thanks for sharing.
Love how you make the splatters so pretty and the pineapple wreath is super cute. I have been enjoying watercoloring this month with paints, re-inkers and markers.
Hi Kathy. Love my copics! Thank you!
Love the spatter background!! What cool!
Love your colouring. I really must practice more! x
Hi Kathy! What a great way to alter Suzy’s card and make it more your own! Choosing my favourite medium would be like picking a favourite child! They all have their own quirks that I love. Copics, pencil crayons, watercolour pencils or tube paints, I love them all. I do love using a bit of coloured pencil after colouring with my Copics. I don’t see many people doing that.
Awesome card Cathy! I love to color with Copics. Having a 7 year old and a 4 month old makes any coloring difficult right now.
Hi Kathy! I love pineapples! This wreath made from them is so cute! My favorite medium right now is colored pencils. They are just so easy to use and hard to mess up!
My favorite is Copics but I love watercolor as well (Gansai)
Oh, I love those pineapples… fantastic coloring. You have great eyes for shading and blending colors together. Those coloring cards are so cute and fun. I wish I had talent for coloring. I tried Copics, water color pencils, water color paint… I am not very good at them… but right now my favorite is water coloring.
Hi Kathy! Love this card! I am trying out lots of different coloring mediums lately thanks to your coloring challenge!
These are such fun! Love the coloring!
Good morning! I love your challenges and seeing all the creativity that people share. I prefer using Copics but I’m off to play with some Zigs now.
HI Kathy. As I am new to coloring I don’t have a favorite medium, but so far I like water coloring. Have a wonderful day. Mary
Hi, Kathy –
Thanks for the inspiration you always provide. Copics are my favorite coloring medium – they give such flawless, streak-free results.
So much depth and dimension in this beautiful creation! My favorite coloring medium is watercoloring and really enjoyed it!
Hi Kathy ! I love Alcohol Marker and the Zig’s . A wish and a new challenge to be Colored Pencil ✏
Hello Kathy!!! My favorite medium would be watercolor. Lovely card and your coloring is fantastic too btw
Hello from Singapore! *jumps in excitement haha*
Hmm…my favourite colouring medium for just laying down colours(without excessive blending or shading or dimensional colouring) I think it has to be the zig clean colour real brush pens. Reason being, it doesn’t bleed through my cardstock like Copics do.
So if I just need to add alittle colouring onto something one-layered, I’ll surely reach for the zigs first.
If I get to hide the bleeding using layers, and I’m feeling ambitious about colouring alittle more dimensional, I’ll reach for Copics.
But in actual fact, I do love traditional watercolouring a lot 😀 it’s just that I’m usually short on time and I don’t have a designated table for crafting (sometimes I even do colouring on the floor) so unless I have at least an hour to watercolour at a leisure pace, that’ll probably be the last medium I reach for.
Hello Kathy, hope you have a great day!. My favorite medium to color with is copic markers, I just love using them!!!
Hi! My favorite medium these days is watercolor! It’s so forgiving!
Hi. My favorite medium right now is coloring pencils. I’m working on shading and shadow. I love being able to give a flat object deminsion.
Lovely card. I especially like the splatter background. My favorite medium at the moment is zig markers.
How fun it is to give personal touch to the printed card.. Lovely…
Now my colouring, in the name of colouring i used to do only inkblending but after your challenges i started trying colouring mediums… my comfort right now in colour pencils as they are not so pricey like copics and are bit controllable…
Just stopped by to let you know I have checked out the beautiful colorings on Instagram. A lot of talented people. I love water color pencils and distress inks right now. Maybe the next time I will get something going to enter.
G’day! Right now, I am watercoloring almost daily.
Hi! I love coloring. Currently, I’m crafting and coloring things for my classroom #teacherlife. I have no idea what my FAVORITE medium would be because I love them all!
Hi!
Watercolor is my favorite. I love that I don’t quite know what to expect and it can be so soft.
Cannot believe another challenge us coming to the end…. Thanks for all the inspiration. Because if you I have found out that I have a love for watercolor, and I’m not that bad at it… Thanks so much for helping me stretch my crafty muscles.

I love coloring with colored pencils or distress markers. I use my distress markers and inks for watercoloring too! Love your challenge, reminds me to color more which always makes me happy!
Awesome!!! Looks great!!!!
Hi Kathy. I am so appreciative of your challenge every time you do it I color more. I always have it in the back of mind Kathy is having a challenge and I need to color!!! I love seeing your piece everyday it’s so inspiring!!! Thank you so much for all you do to motivate the world to be more colorful!!!
Ps! Thanks for getting back to me on packing my coloring supplies the videos helped so much and I will be ready for my cruise to color away!
You’re so welcome.
Hi Kathy. Wow, those colors on your pineapple wreath are spot on. Beautiful job. I have so enjoyed this color challenge because 1) It is my first ever and I was able to shake that fear of not being good enough to post my colorings, 2) I have NEVER colored this many days (24) in a row, and 3) connecting with others in the card making field has been inspiring. So, thank you, I have truly loved this.
Music to my ears. I am thrilled to hear how much you have been enjoying yourself. Keep coloring. 🙂
Hi and colored pencils are my favorite for coloring.
Howdy! I love all my various coloring mediums, but alcohol markers are probably my faves. 😀
Hi! Beautiful colouring again, and such a lovely card! You just seem to be able to bring liveliness to any image with your colouring! =) I am not good at colouring and have mostly used copics only.
Hi Kathy. I just love your pineapple card. You are so talented. I so enjoy seeing your projects. I have bought the smile die and I love it. Have a fantastic weekend!
Hi! I love to color with Copics! Thanks for encouraging us to color!!
“Hey” ~
I usually color with Copics
but have been trying to expand into water coloring as well.
Thanks for all your inspiration!
Hi Kathy! I travel with my husband (work trips) whenever I can. I’m going to put together my colouring travel kit right now? Thank you for your inspiration!
Sherri
Hi! I like my watercolor pencils the best. Thanks for the chance to win.
Hi Kathy. I’m best with my colored pencils so I like to use them especially the inktense ones. Praticing with my water colors and clean color brush markers is fun too. Thanks.
Hi, Kathy! As for my favourite medium, don’t have one. I love them all!
Right now I’m partial to the Zig Brush Markers and the Gansai Tambi paints.
Hi Kathy! Such a gorgeous creation! I don’t own a lot of colouring mediums but my recent favourite are distress inks for watercolouring – very forgiving and easy to use… and the fact that they react with water gives awesome results! Love your challenge, didn’t have the chance to participate this time as you know – moving countries and my supplies are in transit – but I’ll look forward to the next one! 🙂
Hello, Kathy from Washington State. I think Copics are my favorite because I am better with them than watercolors. But I’m still practicing…
My favorite medium is Copic markers.
I can’t believe how fast this month is going! Thank you for sharing and thanks to SSS!
Hi Katie,
Hard to pick a favorite coloring medium. I’ve really learned to love my Copics markers in recent years and couldn’t live without them but I still think my favorite way to color is watercoloring with ink and an AquaPainter brush on watercolor paper. This is what gives me the best control, I can get soft colors or really vibrant, saturated color and I also have an extensive ink collection that matches my cardstock and papers, so it allows me to match my papers well.
Have a great weekend!
Cindy
awesome creation… I love to color and create…
I would say my fav color medium right now is copic, but that is just now…. in truth I color with anything i can get my hands on…
if it makes color, than i will try to use it…lol
Awesome card! I just watched the other video with the splatter technique, so fun! My favorite coloring medium is Zig Clean Color markers. 🙂
Hi Kathy. My favorite medium is watercolor right now but I like to doodle with my markers too.
Hey Kathy- I really like coloring with Copics and love the idea of coloring cards- perfect to travel with and short bursts of creativity.
Hi! I love watercolors as my medium. It can be both be predictable and unpredictable at the same time!
Hi Kathy,my Absolute favorite medium is WATERCOLOR. I don’t care what brand but I usually gravitate to distress.The options are so endless with WATERCOLOR.
I bought a set of Suzy’s coloring cards a while back and loved coloring them up. There are so many cute cards and coloring books to choose from that I find it hard to choose. Great card as usual Kathy. Thanks for the chance to win.
Lovely card as usual Kathy! What a great giveaway–love SSS! My favorite coloring medium depends on what I’m coloring, I love Derwent coloursoft pencils for coloring books and softer things. I like water color pencils and of course COPICS–are amazing!
Hi! This card is GORGEOUS! I love the ink-splattered background, and your coloring of the wreath is fabulous!
Hiiiiiii. I enjoy using both water colours and copic markers 🙂
Hi Kathy. Dang, I wish I had just small part of your talent. thanks for a chance to win too.
Hi! My favorite coloring medium is evrything!!
Hi there 🙂 thanks for the chance to win 🙂 I like using copics.
My favorite medium is markers mostly but sometimes it is whatever is near me!! That way I never waste an opportunity ✍
I just love my Copics, but I’m trying to get more comfortable with watercolors.
Hi Kathy, wow these challenges do go back very fast, so I have an idea ….. How about a 60 day challenge lol. I can hear ya now WHAT 60!!! 30 is hard enough with my busy schedule LMAO. Sorry had to say it. Hope you finally got unpacked. I normally stall and my hubby does that for me. Have enjoyed your challenge and will continue to and with that said Thanks so much for the time you take for all of us. I love the video’s much more than having to read because then I have to search the whole house for my glasses lol.
Hi! Thanks for the giveaway. Love that smile die too!
More beautiful cards.
I like using my Gelato
sticks to color with.
Carla from Utah
Hello there….Great coloring on those pine cones!!!! My favorite medium has to be my Copics, although I am ‘trying’ to learn to watercolor….trying being the key word – LOL!
Paper Hugs,
Jan
The coloring of the pineapples is so realistic. Lovely job!
Hi, Kathy! I’ve been enjoying seeing all your creations during this Coloring Challenge. Everything is beautiful. You have given me lots of ideas. Haven’t done much coloring yet, but planning on doing so.
Hi! 🙂 At the moment watercolor is my favorite ❤. I love how you can walk away from a project thinking it is ruined, and then come back after it’s dried and changed a bit and think: “Hey, that’s not half bad!” It is such a forgiving medium 🙂
Hi there from sunny California. At the moment my favorite coloring medium is the Zig Clear Color Brushes. Thanks for a generous give-a-way.
Aloha Kathy! Love all the colors on your card, I must try those background splatters too, thanks for the inspiration. Right now I’m loving practicing with my water colors.
HI!!
Ziggys:))
Hi Kathy! I’m loving watercolor right now – whether with actual paints or my zigs or distress inks. Have a great day!
Your coloring is so awesome! Love the added splatters of color. I use my Derwent pencils most of the time but my Peerless colors are pretty close. The pencils are much easier if I’m in a hurry.
Hi Kathy. Love the splatter on this card. Mine always looks more like a mistake than a planned element. I think my favorite coloring medium at the moment is water colors. I’m not very good at it, but it’s fun.
Fabulous card w/ fabulous coloring!! My favorite medium is Copics. However, I’m stalking my postman bringing some Zigs……!!! Excited!!
Hi. I am so serious about this. My therapy is coloring. I get really stressed with my job, Coloring is all that helps. I tried drugs to no avail. Problem. I color and color but don’t use what I color, but my friends sure do. Thank you for re-enforcing THAT COLORING IS A GENUINE STRESS REDUCER. I’m proof.
Hi, Kathy. My favorite medium was Copics but I am loving watercoloring at the moment. I have been having so much fun with my watercolors lately.Ooh!
Hi Kathy! My favorite–Copics.
Hi, Kathy. My favorite medium that I’m trying to master right now is watercolors. But I haven’t found a set of watercolors I really like, yet. Any suggestions?
Try the Zig Clear Color Brushes. I find these user friendly. Great colors, portable and built in brush. Many people have really enjoyed these. Maybe start with a small set and give them a try. 🙂
Hi! Staying cool in the basement coloring with anything I can get my hands on! Love them all. 🙂
Hi Kathy! My favorite medium… Crayola markers.
Hi. My favourite is pencil coloring
Hi Kathy! My favourite medium is Copic markers and I sometimes use pencil over them to get a deeper shadow.
Love your card. The pineapples are coloured beautifully.
Thank you for showing the Smile die on a card, for some reason I thought it was bigger, so it was good to actually see it used on a project.
I can’t believe this coloring challenge is almost over. We appreciate you giving of yourself and your loads of talent to share with us. I didn’t answer yesterday about how many days I colored but I did manage a few times. I bought some Bristol paper and have been using my Zig brush markers more. It is perfect for those markers. Thanks again, Kathy
Hi! I grab what ever color is close. These cards look like fun.
Hi there! My go to seems to be Distress inks, but right now I’m loving my zigs.
Currently my favorite coloring mediums are alcohol markers. I’m wanting to try other things though especially watercoloring.
Your pineapple wreath is great! Thanks for doing this coloring challenge, it has been
so much fun! My favorite coloring medium is Prismacolor pencils. I also like Zig Clean
Color and Twinkling H2O’s.
Neat way to use those coloring cards! I love several colouring media: inks, watercolour pencils, powders, watercolour pens, watersoluble oil pastels, acrylic paints, acrylic inks. I just like to learn and try new things.
Hi! my most used colouring items are copic markers, and also Promarkers. I find that I can blend easily with them
Great card and colouring! 🙂
I love using Copics and colour pencils! It’s a great way to stretch usage on my limited Copic markers 😀
Oh this card is so awesome!!! I am in awe of your coloring skills:) I really enjoy watercoloring!!
Hi
I love my zig water color markers!!
Happy Saturday Kathy!!! My favorite medium is watercolor!
Hi. Thanks for doing this again. It has been fun and enlightening, as usual.
I love coloring with pencils, both regular and watercolors!
Hi Kathy, love your blog and all the good goodies that you share! My favorite watercoloring medium is still distress ink! I have fun with the clean color markers too – haven’t really done a lot with Copics! Thanks again for all your encouragement!
Hi. I am hooked on watercolor techniques!
My favourite colouring medium are actually my watercolours that come in tubes. They are still from my college art days and are still working very well.
I’m just learning to watercolor and really enjoying it. It’s artists like you who give me inspiration.
It’s true….time flies when you’re having fun. How fast this month flew by. Lots of great inspiration and ideas I can incorporate into my cardmaking. Thanks you so much.
Guess my favorite has to be Copics. I have a number of other options, but I seem to reach for my Copics 9 times out of 10.
Thanks for all you do for us.
Hi! I’m really excited to learn about coloring. I keep bouncing between Copics and watercoloring.
Love your clever use of the pre-printed card front.
Copics and watercolor are my favorites right now.
Hi, Happy Saturday, gorgeous coloring, my favorite is the alcohol markers, but also loving the Zig water color markers right now!
Hi Kathy, I have worked myself up to Inktense colouring pencils, I want to try Copics but have to save up my pocket money!
Rene from OX x
Hi. 🙂 I love seeing all your coloring techniques and mediums. I’m new to coloring.I just bought a set of 12 Prismacolor markers. Plus I already had a 40 set of Crayola fine line markers. I do use watercolor and use distress inks on my cards.
The spatters are a great background for the sharp-edged wreath of pineapples.
Hi Kathy, my favorite are Copic markers.
Right now I’ve been having fun with my zig clean watercolor brushes. They are so much fun!
My favorite is alcohol markers, however, I just ordered some Distress Ink pads and I’m going to try a little watercoloring.
Your projects have been so inspiring & creative throughout this month! Thank you for brightening my days with your daily posts…..I always look forward to seeing what you have been working on 🙂
Have always admired Suzy’s colouring panels. They look like so much fun to colour and love their scribbly look too. I love my pencils, seem to get them out the most. Would love to watercolour more, just not very good at it but need to practice I suppose. Would love to try Copic colouring but can’t afford to buy any of them.
Hi Kathy!
My favorite coloring medium is Copic but I have also been playing with Distress Markers and Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. TFS your amazing coloring with us!
Hello to another fabulous card! I love using Promarkers and as many distress products as my budget allows 🙂
Ooooh beautiful card! I’ve fancied trying these colouring cards for ages!
My favourite is watercolour pencils … it used to be Copics but I got fed up with them running out on me and costing a fortune to replace!
Hi – I have the smoke die and love it too!
Hi – I have the smile die and love it too!
Another awesome card.. I wish when I go on mini vac. but end up taking more than I need. How do you travel and have enough. I would need three carry on bags.. LOL. I love this pineapple wreath and the colors are awesome. I too love the white gel pen. Use it often. Great card.
My favorite is coloring is copics but I also love using ranger inks for water color backgrounds.
Thanks again for inspiration
Hi Kathy! I would have to say my favorite coloring medium is Zig Clean Color markers.
Hello!! My copics are my favorite coloring medium. It’s hard to believe the 30 days is almost over. It’s always so fun.
Hi!! I’m smitten with the colouring cards! Seriously: a pineapple wreath! Love it! My pencil crayons are my favourite colouring medium. Could we have an Every Day Colouring Challenge? Please *grin*
~carol
Such a cool pineapple weath. Love the colouring!
HI! =)
I dob’t have a favorite medium because I love them all, like different kinds of music!
Hello, and happy Saturday! Thanks for the SSS giveaway! I love shopping with them!
Hard to believe this month is over; amazing, how time flies these days. Kinda scary when you think about it. I love using my Copics, esp. with floral images. Thanks for the giveaway!
Hi Kathy… I love Distress Inks and watercolor pencils…!!
Hi Kathy. I love your pineapple wreath! I would have to say my favorite coloring medium is watercolor. Although I love many others, such as colored pencil, markers, copics, etc. But my go-to is usually watercolor.
My favorite new medium is Chameleon markers.
Hi! I love to use watercolour and Copics best!
Hi Kathy! Love your creative idea of a pineapple wreath,and you’ve coloured it beautifully 🙂 My main colouring is done with coloured pencils,mainly because they’re the cheapest option to buy!
Love,Ann.x
Kathy, I don’t know how you keep up with all the coloring and commenting and posting! And such a fun giveaway! Thanks for the chance to win!
Your wreath turned out nice. I think your coloring made pineapples work as a wreath. I have only really used color pencils. One day I may try watercolors since the pencils are not really working out for me.
Choosing a favorite coloring medium is a lot like choosing a favorite child or pet! I love colored pencil, but I also love Copics, and then there’s watercolor. . . Lol. You get the picture”
Hi Kathy! I love my Copics, but with a short attention span, I will color with anything!
Hi, Choosing one coloring medium would be difficult but love my Derwent watercolor pencils and a blender one, my alcohol markers, Zigs, etc.
First of all I can’t believe we’re on Day 26! Where did July go? These colouring cards are gorgeous! Great idea to pack and take with you while travelling! Love those pineapples! Actually all of those cards look pretty cool! My go-to method of colouring is Prismacolor pencils but I also play with Zigs and my new Bic Mark-its. Enjoy your weekend!
Hi! My favorite coloring medium is watercolor. But, I also love Copics.
My favourite is coloured pencils.
Hi Kathy! Any sort of water medium, watercolor pencil, watercolors, brusho’s, distress inks, water based markers are my go to mediums. But I do have a soft spot for alcohol inks, esp with Yupo.
You are so amazing and so delightful!!! Love what you do!! My favorite coloring medium is Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and a wet paintbrush!!!
Kathy, this is a really nice looking card! Pineapples remind me of Hawaii and I went to Hawaii in 1980. What an amazing place to visit! I’d love to go again but not unless I win some major money. My dad paid for that trip and we paid for souvenirs and meals and not all meals either. He got a deal on that trip and I am thankful every day that we got to go. Thanks for bringing up some great memories.
What do I love to color with? I love colored pencils, especially when they are nice & sharp. Water colors are fun too especially when I use my favorite ones. I have a ton of paint brushes because sometimes I need a certain size and now I have every size I will ever need. I also love crayons but I have a problem with sharpening them. The box comes with a sharpener but they never get as sharp as when they are brand new out of the box. I wrote to Crayola and they told me to get a eye liner pencil sharpener which I bought. Can you believe they told me that someone told them about doing this, not that they knew what to do? The crayon didn’t fit in either side of the sharpener! I want them to be really sharp! I have the most amazing crayons from Crayola and because I am a preschool teacher, I’ve used other brands. Crayola is the best hand down. I love my markers but some of them seem to be leaking and bleeding! I thought you said that markers should be laying down which is how I have them stored and some are leaking and bleeding. I don’t know what’s going on. I had to wipe some of them off and some bled into other things when I was coloring them. I want to like Copics but I really don’t know how to use them and one of them bled into something else when I was using it. I can’t wait until I can learn to use them! Let’s see, I love to use glitter and embossing powder too for a card and for fabric. That’s coloring too, right?
I never thought of cutting out one of those cards out and using them for a card like that. Maybe I will try that sometime. I don’t think I have that coloring card but I do have a set of them. Maybe it’s in there and I don’t remember.
Try to stay cool. I just put on my night shirt and I threw my clothes in the hamper. They felt wet. It’s been very humid even though we had some nice rain showers. Tomorrow I will color again and I am going to be making a birthday shirt for my nice. There may be coloring involved there too!I want more of those fabric markers!
Gotta be Copics!
Hi Kathy,
I love your pineapple card! I haven’t quite figured my favorite coloring medium but I just got ordered the kaisercraft gel pens to try out! I am having fun trying watercolor and watercolor pencils.
P.S. You said you were not quite ready for the challenge to be over, I’m sure we wouldn’t mind if you go overs a few days :)!
Thanks for the inspiration! And the heads up about sss!
My favorite coloring medium is my Copics!
Hi!
I think it looks fab popped up and, of course, the white gel pens is always terrific!!
So far, I like Copics best, but I’m still playing around and learning
Hi Kathy! I am really loving learning to use Copics
Hi Kathy. My favorite medium is copics, however, my colored pencils are easier to pack up and take with me when I go places.
Great pineapples! I really love watercolouring..so relaxing.
Hi Kathy, my favourite medium to colour with is currently zigs, they are so easy to use and I love all the vibrant colours they come in. I love your card, such a smart idea to cut it out and put it on a different background!
hi kathy, i finally got a chance to do a little coloring with my son with my favorite medium, colored pencils. i find they are the most forgiving especially if you use the gamsol!
hi! can’t believe it is day 26 either. . . . .wow! my favorite coloring medium is probably zigs, but am experimenting with watercolor crayons. . . .fun!
Copics are my favorite but I have been loving Inktense pencils lately too. Thanks for all the fun this month and the pineapples are beautiful!
Hi hope you are having a beautiful, wondrous and smile kind of day. Love your challenge and my favorite coloring medium is watercoloring.
Hi Kathy I enjoy colored pencils, and watercolors. I need to try these card fronts I love the art work.
Hi Kathy! Im enjoying copics but want to experiment with watercoloring more
HI, I like copic coloring and prisma colored pencils best. I struggle with water coloring, probably need more practice.
Hi Kathy! I haven’t had as much time to playas I would have liked but hopefully that will change once I get my daughter off to
College. Love today’s card!
The pineapples look good enough to eat and the Smile die is a must have, for sure. I think I’m most enamored with water color, but do have some BIC markers, several cheap brands of water-based ink pens, some colored pencils and some very fun looking Neon Gel Crayola Gel Markers a special friend sent me. I have a lot to learn in all areas. Thanks for the nudges and the wide variety of instruction. You do it all.
Hi Kathy…my favorite coloring medium is Copic Markers. Luv um!
Hi Kathy, my favorite color mediums change with my moods. But I most often go for my Zig watercolor markers.
Hi, Kathy! My favorite coloring medium is probably my Copics, but I’m learning to use my Zig watercolor markers, too. Thanks for hosting this coloring challenge. I haven’t been able to participate because of bad health problems, but one of these times, I’m going to get to color!
Hi! So far I’m enjoying the watercoloring with my waterbrush on coloring book pages, however, this week, I’m gonna have to break down and do some stamping as I have a sympathy card to send to Cynthia Stansell of Stamp-a-mania. Her husband, Mark, passed away due to cancer.
Beautiful card. My favorite medium to color with would be pencils with Gamsol
Kathleen
Totally awesome!
That is one super fun wreath of pineapples! My favorite coloring mediums now are Prismacolors Premier, Derwent Inktense pencils, watercolor paints, and Tombow Dual Brush pens.
Wow, another lucky draw. Thanks!

I’m also enjoying the coloring book reviews
Hi Kathy! Love my markers and colored pencils both, separately and together!
Hello!! Gorgeous wreath!! Right now having tons of fun with my watercoloring!!
Hello! I love all kinds of crafting and enjoy many kinds of coloring mediums. I like to try new ideas and experiment with all kinds of art supplies. I can’t say that I have a ‘favorite’ …I like to switch it up.
Hi Kathy! I love to watercolor:)
Hi:) I am really enjoying heat embossing and then coloring with my distress ink pads:)
Hi,
I have been loving my copics these last few weeks the challenge was a great opportunity to practice and improve my skills 🙂 thanks
Hello Kathy. My Zig clean color markers are my favorite medium. Love your pineapple wreath card!
I’ve been using my gansai tambi watercolours lately and really feel the colouring challenge has helped me to get better at using them. These last few weeks have flown by.
Hi, Kathy!
Hi Kathy, Copics are my Favorite, but I have been trying to get more comfortable with water colors since I have been doing the color challenges.
HI, I think copics are my favorite would like to have more time to practice with them my 2nd would be colored pencils right now the Prisma would like to try FaberCastells but there is no open stock of them in my area.
Hi, Kathy! My favorite coloring medium changes from project to project!
Hi!!! Copic markers are my current favorite.
Hi Kathy,
My favorite medium is Zig clan color markers. I hope to learn how to use my spectrum noir markers soon though. Thanks for being so inspiring!
hi there 🙂
I love using pencils
Hi! My favorite medium is copic, haven’t colored for the past week or so cuz daughter just got married!! Hoping to get the last few days of challenge in!
Hello! So enjoying seeing all your cards and projects over the past month!!
Hello! I love watercolors, but am really starting to get attached to my Copics!
Hi, I love DI and of course copics too 🙂
This giveaway sounds so fun! Classes are an awesome way to pick up a new skill or enhance one you’ve already got. And I’m enjoying looking at all these gorgeous, colorful cards!
Hi! I love working with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.
What a great idea to cut the wreath out and put it on to a card Kathy and it looks great! I think I more often than not use Distress Inks and a waterbrush or coloured pencils, and the ones I am using at the moment are by Spectrum Noir. x
Hi, love your coloring and my favorite mediums are copic and water colors
I almost never did any coloring until I got the Zig wc markers & now I’m actually looking for non-solid images in my stash–haha! Thanks for your sweet comment on my card, Kathy!
Hi Kathy my fav is colored pencils. I’m getting some spectrum noir, so hope they aren’t too hard to get used to.
Hi Kathy, in enjoying this challenge 😉 my favorite medium is Colored pencils
Picking a favorite medium is like picking your favorite child… you love them all, but sometimes you happen to like spending time with one more than another… or perhaps one happens to be frustrating you at the moment! Ha! There’s the easy going kid, Zig. Copic, who always takes longer to accomplish the same thing. Watercolor, who’s free spirit is sometimes too loose for us, right? Pencils, always reliable but sometimes a but dull, in more ways than one. LOL. But we love them all equally!!! One big happy family!
That wreath you colored, knocks my socks off!! Wow! My current favorite is watercolor–Zig, Distress and watercolors. Ha!! 🙂 Continued thanks for the challenge!
My favorite color mediums are distress inks and copics.
hi Kathy ! my favorite coloring medium is watercolor !
‘Hej’ from Sweden!
I don’t think I can chose my favorite coloring medium….I love pens and pencils and markers and watercolors and acrylics, and…, and…, and…! I ought to say Copics, since I just invested in a bunch, but I’m very drawn to watercolors. I love color!
Hi Kathy, I would definitely say that my Prismacolor pencils are my favorite medium. I am hoping to get more comfortable with markers in the future. Thanks for everything!
Hi Kathy! My favorite coloring medium is the Zig water brushes. They let me watercolor and color at the same time. I have really enjoyed your 30 days of coloring.
Hi Karthy,
I’d have to say that my fave medium to work with is all kinds of watercolors like the Zig Real Brush Markers, Kuretake Gansai Tambi & Spectrum Noir Aqua markers? Sometimes, I also color with Perfect Pearls!
Hi! I love watercolors because they are easy, but I really want to get better with my Copics, and own more Copics. 😉
Lovely card Kathy!, my favorite are watercolors.
My favorite coloring medium is definitely watercolor.
So pretty, Kathy! I’m hooked on watercoloring… of all kinds! ♡
Hello Kathy ! Can’t say I have a favorite coloring medium, I love them all equally. I choose them based on the project.
Hi Kathy. I love all things watercolour at the moment.
Hi! Right now I’ve been practicing with my Copics but I usually use my Zigs.
Hello Sweet Lady,
My favorite coloring medium must be Distress Ink and markers because that is what I’m frequently reaching for. I just got a 60 count box of Zig markers and haven’t had time to even open the box. I want to learn how to use these well. I also got a nice box of watercolors last week and want to learn to use them as well.
Hi Kathy,
I don’t have a favourite medium as yet. Trying them all at the moment.
Thanks once again for the Challenge – it’s been wonderful.
Hi Kathy,
I love to see how you use coloring cards on your projects and this card is AMAZING!!!
I don’t have a lot of different coloring mediums, but from those have, my favorite are Distress Inks. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!! :o)
xx
Water color pencils . Woooooooonderful projects. thanks for sharing.
Hi, Kathy! I’ve really enjoyed the challenge, and I’ve made over a dozen cards in the last month, so thank you for the encouragement.
Hi there! My current favorite coloring medium is watercolor but I’m not that good at it… yet!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Design and Dimension!! THANKS for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEK!! =)
Gah, this is so cute! I didn’t know TH has a line of coloring images! I live water coloring….. it’s my fave!
Hello Dear Kathy.. My favorit Products for coloring are Letraset promarkers and distress inks!!
I love the idea of these cards, and of course, you had to switch it up! I go through phases with my coloring, but always come back to my watercolor pencils and my kiddie markers. I love to scribble them out on a piece of clear acetate or scrap packaging and pick up the color with a damp paintbrush. It’s great for smaller images and spaces (like you get with a stamped image!) Thanks for taking it up a notch and for these challenges.
Hi! I love the white accents you added to the pineapple wreath! My current favorite coloring medium is probably colored pencils. Hard to pick a fave though!
A favorite medium? Right now, it’s colored pencils. Though I also really love copics. But colored pencils are what I can do any time, without thinking too hard.
I’m most comfortable with Copics, but am trying to get out of my comfort zone with colored pencils.
I just started with Copics…getting the hang of it.
My all time favorite is watercolors – distress inks, gansai tambi, and peerless 🙂
Hi! Favorite medium…oh boy…I think it’s a toss-up between my Copics and my Zig markers. I reach for those the most!
Hi! Right now I’ve mostly been using alcohol markers and watercolors, but I own some Inktense pencils & need to start experimenting with them, too! Thanks for the chance to win & the amazing inspiration throughout this challenge!
Hi from sunny South Africa. Love copics nut just starting out so only have a few so far
