Hello Friends! Welcome to DAY 2 of The 30 Day Coloring Challenge. (If you are new to the challenge or want to know more about it click here.)
Today am so excited to bring you a Blog Hop featuring some very talented artists and friends. My plan is to give you all a huge hit of inspiration for Day 2 with my favorite and inspiring watercolor artists. (but, not sure if they will be doing that for today lol …I didn’t want to give them any guidelines …only to color.)
To start at the beginning of the hop go to my most amazing friend Jennifer’s McGuire’s blog here.
It’s super late here and I was trying one last ditch effort to get a good photo.
I have been traveling this past week so I packed up some of my copic markers and a few other things. During my 5 hour plane ride I had some time to mask off the envelope stamp set and the butterflies stamps from two different companies. The mini misti is so light weight it went in my carry on too.(see that video at the bottom of my post)
I had lots of fun adding a little detail to the envelope. I have a raw video for you to share part of my process. Traveling put a cramp in my video but, I am living proof that you and color and travel 🙂
I thought you might want to see part of the stamping process but, the video shows more. If I was at home I probably won’t have taken the time to do all this stamping and masking. Being captive on the airplane gave me lots of time and little space but, I managed. (I have a photo of my plane photo in the end of the video)
All of my images were stamped on some 120# weight card stock pre-folded cards . This heavy weight cardstock .. feels like it has a coating on it… so there isn’t any bleed through the back of your coloring. It’s great for a one layer card. However it’s not my first choice cause it’s slightly …. very slightly not the perfect bright white for me. With that said Kristina love this paper and used it a lot for one layer cards.
I thought some of you might like these folded cards because you don’t see the bleed through on the inside.
I haven’t added my fine lines on the envelope or the “eyelash” lines on the butterflies. Also in case you are curious what colors I am using .. this is for you 🙂 Below you can see the results after adding the fine lines with this Copic marker.
On my return flight I colored this one. (When I was doing the masking I inked up three cards).
If you want to share what your creating go to DAY 1 and scroll to the bottom of the post. You will find a blue Inlinkz tab to link up your coloring.

These butterflies are beautiful. I want to know what the person sitting next to you thought about these. If I was sitting next to you I would have asked to purchase one and I would have been mesmerized watching you color.
Great cards love it
You are so organised and I LOVE your card, those beautiful butterflies fluttering out of the envelope are stunning. Beautifully done and very inspiring. Thanks so much for the inspiration, awesome challenge (I hope to join in on) and chance to win. Hugs Bev x
Fabulous colouring and all that masking! You’re right, you need to be captive to take the time. I’ve made myself a little zipper bag to take some Copics with me on holiday later in the year. Off to do a bit of colouring for 5 minutes to have a bit of a chill. Xx
That coloring is so perfect!
Your butterflies card is gorgeous, Kathy! And I love that you take a ‘mobile crafting unit’ with you when you travel (as do I, when I can…). Once again, mightily inspired! Off to hop…thank you for the line-up of talent!
~carol
WOW WOW WOW Your cards are beautiful!!!!
What a great idea of the butterflies coming out of the envelope! Your coloring is beautiful.
Wow ,Those butterflies look vibrant n lively ! Wonderful card ..off to hop !
I love the touches you put on your colored images. Love the butterflies!!!!
Love the colors <3
Those butterflies are amazing and I love how you jazzed up the envelope!
The butterflies are awesome – very creative!!
Great cards and colouring! 🙂
Such beautiful butterflies! I always enjoy seeing your coloring skills.
Wonderful challenge. Color on!
Kathy, you are too modest about your videos and talent. ANY video of your process is a blessing as it helps me, as a newbie, learn that there is indeed a process and it takes time… Inspiring to me at least. Two thumbs up! And I hope Hosting this 30 day challenge doesn’t stress you out so much that you can’t still enjoy your coloring time.
You made my day with your kind words. Enjoy finding time for you. 🙂
This is STUNNING, Kathy!!!
Lovely cards! Thanks for sharing your butterfly details. I love to use butterflies on my cards. Also great to see your travel bag packed for your trip. I always take too much. Need to focus on one or two things then I will get them done.
Beautiful! I just love all the extra detail you add to your images. So inspiring!
You did an awesome job ….colouring on a plane is probably not an easy feat! I did join in but I can’t share what I did because I am submitting it…Hopefully I will be able to share today unless another idea strikes me 😀
I wish I was that organized to have things to color on the go! Lovely butterflies!
Love your butterfly cards, Kathy. Isn’t it amazing how different the card looks if you change up the colours? Last night, I had a go at the technique you showed yesterday. I took a very simple page from one of my colouring books and some Flexmarkers in blues and yellows, making sure to let it bleed through and it was so much fun and really relaxing. I’m hoping I can continue tonight…

Glad to hear you’re experimenting and having fun. 🙂
Wow–love these butterfly cards!
First off, I have to say how much I love your cards! Beautiful butterflies and envelopes. Just gorgeous and unique as you always are. Second off, I have to tell you how much I enjoyed this blog hop from some of my favorite designers. Thanks for putting it together for us. Now I must go color for day 2.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comments. 🙂
WOW! This coloring is gorgeous! So much depth with the shadows!!! Beautiful!!
Beautiful coloured butterflies! I am joining in with the challenge – my colouring isn’t up to much but I’m gonna enjoy every pencil/pen stroke along the way 🙂
Oh so pretty Kathy! I love you butterflies, what a cute technique. I’ll take your videos anyway they come, I always learn a lot. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Really enjoyed the butterfly card!
So envious of your coloring!! Lovely job.
What pretty Butterfly cards! Love them. And thanks for showing us your mobile workstation. I never know what to pack and always forget something. ☺
Kathy your coloring is always lovely. The butterflies are amazing! Thanks for sharing and thanks for the chance to win.
Love bothof your beautiful butterfly cards!! Coloring is a good way to pass the time when traveling!! TFS!
Such beautiful cards and inspiration!!
I love your butterfly cards and hope to complete your 30 day challenge. this is my first attempt and am loving the inspiration!
Join in on the fun whenever you can. No stress. Finding time for you is the goal. Thank you for participating. 🙂
I love your colour combos and your technique to pick up the darker colour that I will try right now lol!
Great videos but I didn’t think you could take scissors on a plane in your carry on. How did you pull that off? Also I just got home from a trip and I had about 2 inches of space. You amaze me that you had room to do that. You must fly first class because back in the cheap seats I don’t think anyone would have room. They really pack em in! Love your work!
Hi Sheri, lol my husband and I pretend that I am flying first class but, I never do. Sometimes I get that extra room for 30 bucks. Flying isn’t what it used to be that’s for sure. My scissors are small and I usually try and pack them in my checked bags but, often forget. Only when I was in the Munich airpot they measured my scissors and they passed. Thanks for watching 🙂
Amazing! You really can do it in that small space. Not sure I could. I am very impressed! I didn’t know they had size restriction on scissors. That is good to know. I don’t fly often so was wondering. Great job on your cards! Love them and the eyelashes on the butterflies are perfect. Who’d a thunk?
Your coloring is always so gorgeous! Beautiful butterflies!
Great tips and beautiful cards. Love the uncut video.
This is SO fabulously gorgeous!
I’m going to be late to the party this time around, but am enjoying seeing your beautiful projects, as always!
How cool would it be to win an online card class?!! Thanks for the chance!
Love. Love. Love. Love. these cards! I am an airplane artist as well. 🙂 With hubby’s job as a pilot I have spent a fair amount of time sitting in those tiny, cramped, seats painting. I usually watercolored on projects that I pre stamped because it required less supplies to carry on. I can’t imagine stamping!!! You are a hoot! I love watching you work and your videos are fun!
I love you are coloring on the go! Your cards are super sweet. The butterflies are awesome! I am so excited about the 30 day challenge. Thank you for being such a terrific hostess!!
Wow! gorgeous card! that card took a little work, lol but I bet the time went fast on the plane that way. thanks for a chance to win!
How lucky for the person sitting next to you – they got to watch you at work, stamping, masking and colouring – I would have loved that. Please don’t apologise for your uncut videos – it’s great that you do them, however they are finished and I love them! Beautiful butterflies, and you always make me want to reach for my Copics and try different colour combinations – thank you Kathy xx
I’m thrilled I have encouraged you to try different combinations with your Copics. It’s a a lot of fun. When you find combos you like keep them so you can refer back to them. If you’re like me I’ll forget if I haven’t noted it somewhere. Thank you 🙂
Wow! These are beautiful! There’s no way I could do this on a plane! (or anywhere, for that matter) 🙂
Amazing what you have packed in your carry-on! The mini misti is perfect for traveling. Your cards are beautiful.
Beautiful cards!!! I love the little detail you add to the butterflies and the envelope. It really gives it a little something extra special. Thanks!
Wow, this card is so pretty! It is going in my inspiration folder! I wish I could purchase more of the Copic Markers and try out some of the amazing techniques you teach us. Thank you for the beautiful card inspiration!
how long was your flight? n how did you get scissors on board? love your creativity did you use tip tp tip to color the butterflies?
Thank goodness my flight was long enough to be productive. My scissors got through because of the small size. Parts of the butterflies I did do some tip to tip butI always mix things up. Enjoy 🙂
Gorgeous – you inspire me to do the same on my next flight. Love the butterflies – but the envelopes, outstanding!
Absolutely love the envelope idea. You are just too too talented. I wish some would rub off on me.
Wow! Wish I had been your seatmate on the plane. I love your cards. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful…love the colors!
Beautiful card and thanks for nudging me into getting my pens out 2 days in a row, fingers crossed I’ll make it to 30.
Play when you can. This is a stress free challenge for you. 🙂
Beautiful cards! I love how you colored the butterflies–so pretty. I’m getting ready for a trip and you inspired me to take along some stamped cardstock and my Copics. Thanks!
Beautiful coloring. The butterflies really pop against a dark background.
Another really fun post, and fabulous blog hop, Kathy! Thanks so much for all the work and time you put into this challenge…your butterflies are so sweet, and your cards are amazing! Have a great day!
Thank you so much, Barbara. Enjoy finding time for you. 🙂
Stunning card!! I am excited to get hopping!
Love the envelope stamps and dies! Great idea to have the butterflies coming out of them!
Fabulous cards, adore the colouring. So much work & I was giving out about 1 8×8 page 🙂
I absolutely love the butterflies and envelop. The little detailing is incredible! Thank you for continuing the 30 day challenge, it does motivate.
Glad to be a motivator to encourage you to find time for yourself. Thanks 🙂
I love all your butterflies! And thanks for the chance to win!
I thought the envelope was made from patterned paper at first glance. Very nice!
It’s nice to know that we can now carry scissors on the plane!
I love your cards, Kathy!
Great use of your time!
fantastic card, thank you!
These are so pretty! I wish that I’d been sitting next to you on that flight as it’s fascinating watching you color! Thank you for a brilliant bloghop and the chance to win a class too 🙂
I love the butterflies!
Gorgeous cards and I love the eyelashes on the butterflies. To also say I applaud your abilities to do this on an airplane, Thanks for the chance to win a class.
Beautiful butterflies! Thanks for sharing your travel kit too.
Love the butterflies coming out of the envelope! I never have such clever ideas. The eyelashes are cute,too.
I love the butterfly, you coloring so amazing! love your cards!
The butterflies are beautiful! Thank you for sharing your process.
Cute card. Love it.
great tips. . . .love your travel bag (and list of supplies). . . wonderful blog. . . .
love all the details and inspiration. Can’t figure out how you could video on a plane but it looked great.
Kathy your creations are always so fabulous. Your coloring is so rich and has so much depth. It was fun to watch your video, too. I always take a little something crafty on vacation!
So many tips in your video. Thank you!
Day 2 and counting!! I have never done just the 5 minutes – it always seems to stretch out into at least a half hour and then I wonder where did the time go!!
Enjoy loosing track of time. Thanks for joining in. 🙂
Love all the movement and color and dimension in your card! Great tips too. I’m a huge fan of the online classes and will be seeing you next week in Heat Wave.
Your butterflies are gorgeous! It sure would be fun to sit beside you on an airplane!!!!! I’m loving these 30 day coloring challenges.
Great cards and fun challenge!
Wow you can colour that amazingly on a plane! I am truly amazed at what you create!
Beautiful coloring. Thanks for hosting this hop and for the chance to win a great prize.
Your coloring is always so fun to watch! thanks!
I love the envelope part of this beautiful card. I have taken many of the Online Classes, but there are still some I haven’t done and I would love to win another of those classes. They are the BEST!
Thanks for presenting the 30-day coloring challenge again. I am going to try to make it through all 30 days and improve my skills, and reduce the stress. all the projects on the hop are beautiful.
I love your card, the butterflies are so gorgeous, they way you coloured them is incredible! I also think your uncut video is great, I really enjoyed it, I am all for keeping it real!
My goodness your coloring is just stunning. What beautiful work. Love watching you color.
Love the details of the envelopes. Thanks for sharing the coloring and “eyelash” tips.
This makes for a wonderful
way to spend your time while
flying. They are all so lovely.
Carla from Utah
Thank you for sharing all your lovely cards and for having this challenge.
I went through the hop before commenting here. What a fantastic team for this hop, and your creation of butterfly envelope is so uniquely creative. Super job.
Love this card. Love the hand lines on the envelope. The butterflies are absolutely beautiful. Thank you for challenging us.
Hola, Kathy! Wow, what beautiful butterflies! I love butterfly stamps. So lovely, Kathy. You rock!
Great coloring and on a plane no doubt.
Thanks for the giveaway! I’m finally “taking” an online coloring class I bought myself for Christmas! Figured this challenge was a good time to start it. I’ve already completed two images with my alcohol markers and posted them on Day 1. Thanks for the incentive! Always love the challenge!
Irene, keep enjoying yourself and finding time for you. Glad to see you again. 🙂
I love the tips on coloring the butterflies . I’m always amazed on what I pick up on your videos. Beautiful card.
I just love your butterflies flying out of the envelope!
Thanks for the chance to win an OCC class!
Next time I fly anywhere, I will take something to color. These days, flying is stressful and it will be fun having something to do while awaiting, etc. Love what you created and your coloring is amazing. Thanks for the great ideas.
Beautiful and great tips! Yay for this challenge!!! It’s really got me back into my craft room. So grateful.
Your butterflies are amazing! And to think you did that on a plane?!! I definitely plan to bring some coloring supplies with me on any future trips, but I’d be content just to have some fun. You managed to create a work of art. Wow!
So excited about the color challenge….love this card, I love envelopes for some reason and this one is so cute. Thanks for all the hard work that goes into this.
Loving all of your butterflies, Kathy…so very awesome and inspirational…!!!
Fabulous coloring and I love your little line details! Xoxo, Kristina
love how you colored the envelope. the piece has so much movement.
Can’t believe all the details that you put into this card. I don’t think I would have the patience. 🙂
Wow!!! You never stop amazing me with your creations a d coloring!!! You are beyond Inspiring!!!
Love the butterflies! Thanx for all the inspiration…and motivation.
You got your scissors on to the airplane?? I’m really impressed with the patterns you drew on your stamped envelopes. They look like printed paper.
Great cards! Love your work and inspiration!
Beautiful card – I looove the butterflies <3 And your colouring is gorgeous! Thanks for the tipps 🙂
So beautiful! you are such an inspiration!
xoxo Olga
I absolutely LOVE these cards, Kathy!
Well, I love your uncut video. Nothing wrong with it at all. And of course, your cards are amazing. Can’t believe how you can do that on an airplane ride. Hope you were in first class! lol
These cards are gorgeous! Every time I see your colouring I realise how much I still have to learn. Thanks for the lesson!
I absolutely love your impromptu videos. They remind me that I’m not the only one…
Thanks for the butterfly lesson. Gorgeous!
Wow! Really beautiful card! Love it! And I didn’t know the trick with the acrylic block. I will try tomorrow because I have found it really useful. Thanks!
Enjoyed seeing some of the details of putting these cards together. It’s good to see you enjoying coloring even in less-than-ideal spaces. 🙂
Your coloring is so inspiring!
I could watch you color all day.
I love how you created the image to color! Thank you for hosting this challenge!
I think it’s so cool that you were so creative on the plane Kathy! Love it:)
Your butterflies look so realistic! Thank you for hosting this coloring challenge!
You are so clever! This is beautiful! I love the details and I love how the butterflies really look like they’re fluttering out of the envelope! ❤️
Having fun again coloring trying to use some of the many stamps I have.
Amazing card and even more so done on a plane!
awesome! I’m currently traveling today, luckily have internet in my hotel room, taking a short rest break before going out again. Thanks for a great hop and inspiration, love online card classes, want to take Tim’s 3rd chemistry class!
Wow cool! On the plane no less…now that’s organized. Hey, how do we visit the blogs that are linking up? Tapping on the thumbnails doesn’t take us anywhere. Thanks I made it to day 2!!!
Sorry you are having trouble with the thumbnails. They do work. Please try again and maybe double click. Most of the thumbnail products are from SimonSays Stamp. I hope this helps. Thanks for be a part of the challeng. 🙂
I thought your video was perfect! Thank you for sharing those tips! You know, at first I thought the envelope was paper-pieced with patterned paper – you are so talented! Those butterflies look amazing! I’m going to do your hop! That’s a fabulous prize! Thanks so much! I’ve got two days of colouring done! Yay me!
Wow! I would never have thought of taking my MISTI, copics, etc. on the plane with me to create. Fantastic work and you just gave me a fantastic idea for when I travel in August.
BTW, your videos are great whether raw or edited. Keep it up. We need to see how you create your beautiful projects.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Coloring takes out the stress of traveling for me. Enjoy 🙂
Love the inspiration to color! I will hopefully be able to join in everyday!
These are so beautiful Kathy! I totally enjoyed the hop.
My daughter and 2 little boys (2 & 4) are home for the week as the oldest is going to art camp. and it was so cute tonight after supper the four of us were all sitting down together coloring! Thank for the inspiration! and Thanks for the chance to win!
How special for you to have adorable company for coloring. Thanks for your kind words. 🙂
WOW! I am guessing that you had no problem with turbulence on the flight. 😀 Love your patience for doing this on a plane. Don’t know if I would dare it. Thanks for the inspiration. 😀
So organized for a plane trip and coloring. Where there’s a will, there’s a way, they say. Love your card and video. Thanks for the chance to win a seat in the On-Line CardClasses. Having withdrawal; not in a class this summer.
The butterflies are gorgeous! Thank you for inviting everyone to color with this wonderful challenge. It’s been fun so far!
What a great chalenge !! Will participation this year too for sure.
Such a great idea making a card on the go. And your design is so intricate. So awesome – I wish I had a misti tool. Thanks for the giveaway.
Love your card, Kathy. It’s so colorful, vibrant and lively. Awesome coloring!
I always try and take some of my copics with me. Then as I just got a few things out I was told by a male and female stewardess that it is not allowed to color with those markers while in flight and I would have to put them away. The female said it is just like painting your fingernails on board and that is not allowed either. The odor could bother other passengers and or I may drop one and stain the seat or carpet. This has only happened once. It was hard to stay calm, but I managed. Who can just sit and do nothing, not me. The airline starts with a Al. Colored many times on other airlines and never had a problem. So just wanted everyone to know that you may at some point asked to put them away so have a back up plan just in case so you are not just sitting there. Yes and I was so embarrassed. It seemed like my flight would never end.
That’s cruel. That would have ruined my day and goals to do some coloring. Thanks for letting us know some airlines aren’t color friendly. 🙂
I took some of my copics with me on my trip last month. It was hard leaving others behind,
I absolutley love your card, I can’t wait to try it. I had forgotten all about your famous lashes. So happy, happy, you reminded me. I am so excited to order and try it. Thank you for the inspiration, and I love classes and learning new things.
I love the card – butterflies are so much fun to color!
Your cards are fantastic and your unedited video with all the little tips is great too! Thanks for sharing.
wooow , beautiful colouring I love those butterflies with that dotted detail.
I love your cards. Moreover, I love that you travel with your markers, paper, etc. It would make me much more comfortable traveling. I will try that next trip.
Absolutely bring your coloring. I guarantee you will be more relaxed and time will fly. LOL 🙂
These cards are so pretty!
I have never tried making.
You make it look so easy!
i meant masking.
Beautiful butterflies. Thanks for the Copic tip about using the acrilic block to blend colors. I am going to try that. Coloring every day for a month sounds like fun.
Your coloring talents are fabulous. I really love those butterflies. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for the great design ideas.
I love these beautiful butterflies, truly a gorgeous card.
I love your cards and could watch you color all day! Thank you so much for doing this challenge again! I have really been looking forward to it, and the beautiful things everyone posts just knocks my socks off!!
I am a not good at coloring but want to learn to do it. You inspire me to practice.
That’s the perfect attitude. Enjoy and learn plus find time for you. 🙂
Once more, beautifully done Kathy!
Those beautiful butterflies flying out of the envelope are stunning. Thanks so much for sharing!
Love your card and I’m a big butterfly fan. I would have given anything to see the faces of some of the people on the plane when they looked at what you were doing..Thanks
Okay, I can’t wait until my broken foot heals! My garden is growing and I need to take care of it but I can’t! At least I can color, right? Since my foot has to be propped up, I take 2 chairs. I sit on one and put the other one close and prop my foot on it. It’s warm outside, humid actually (it’s supposed to be 94 tomorrow) so that’s where I go to color. Maybe the warm, humid air is good for my foot?
As for flying, I haven’t flown anywhere since 2000 I think. My sister used to work for the airlines and we flew a lot on standby. I didn’t color a lot then like I do now. However, I used to bring my embroidery on the plane to do on the flight. The movie was usually boring and depending on the time, I wasn’t sleepy. Now I know that I probably couldn’t bring that either because of scissors and a needle. I could color but with colored pencils and crayons. So I don’t bring my markers. That’s okay by me. It’s not like I have nothing to color with.
That being said I love what you colored! I love butterflies and I stamped the bottom sheet of my bed with butterflies and even managed to color some of them in! A twin sheet takes a long time to stamp never mind color and these are summer sheets. In the winter I color more. The top sheet as you will see in the photo I posted is also stamped with flowers. Butterflies and flowers go together, don’t they? Some can be colored in but again, it’s on my bed because it took a long time to do. Winter time coloring again.
You did a beautiful job on you’re coloring and I have to watch the video and see what you’ve actually done. What a beautiful card you did. Someone is going to really love that card!
Now I can’t wait to participate in the blog hop but I have a broken foot! How can I do any hopping? LOL I can’t wait to see what everyone has done. If it’s anything like what you did, I’m going to be drooling all the way! Everyone is so talented!
This certainly was an all-star lineup with you and the other talented ladies! I love your traveling tips. Thanks for those! Your card is so very pretty!! Thanks again for doing the color challenge and all your work that must go into it!!
Beautiful coloring and unique design!
WOW! that butterfly card is gorgeous.
I can’t believe your beautiful projects were created on an airplane. Mind blown!
I always take supplies on my flights but I tend to fall asleep. LOL. Love these butterflies. The coloring is amazing and look like they are taking flight off the papers. Cannot for Day 3!
Love the butterflies and the color combinations! Just lovely!
Wow, I can’t believe you did all that on a flight. I always forget to add those little details to finish off a project.
Can hardly believe that you managed those gorgeous butterflies on a plane! What did your seat mate have to say? I managed to color for a couple of hours today, it was so much fun!
Ooooo I just love that butterfly set. It’s been on my wish list!!! Great job as always, Kathy!
Great hop, thanks for all the inspiration!
You amaze. me, Kathy. I can’t believe you can do all that work on a cramped airline seat. I bet you got a lot of attention . Also surprised you could get scissors on board. Your video was fine. We appreciate wharever you do.
Have a safe and enjoyable trip.
Love the butterflies popping out of the envelop, and great coloring!
Such beautiful butterflies! Your coloring is amazing, I love to watch you color and demonstrate how fun coloring is when you just don’t over analyze.
You never fail to amaze me with your fabulous coloring.
Stunning cards, I love those butterflies. And as usual your colouring is impeccable and so creative!
I don’t think I’d be able to pull off crafting on the plane but then again my plane trips are usually much shorter! Plus I’m accompanied by a now 10 month old lol .. maybe I’ll try in a few years so! 🙂
Your card is as fabulous as ever!
Kathy this blog hop was great and inspiring! Your coloring is wonderful you showed your tray on the plane I have a very weird question……sorry but how did you get the scissors on the plane? I just enjoy your blog show much I appreciate your time you take to host this and working to have giveaways for all. Thank you so much again and lovely cards!!!!!
Ahhhh thanks Janet. 🙂
Kathy, your cards are stunning! You have given life to those butterflies through your coloring. They look so so gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing.
Kathy, I don’t believe you have anything to apologize for. I think you are so dedicated to your coloring craft that you inspire people to keep at it despite bumps in the road like traveling. It made your time “fly by” didn’t it? I like the flying butterflies. Gives me an idea for some baptism cards I need to make this week for former Sunday School kids.
Absolutely.beautiful I love your butterflies. I can’t help but read some of the comments and it hit me on one of them your flying and making butterflies fly out of an envelope lol maybe it’s cause it’s late but made me laugh..and such a great idea…love all of your videos and I appreciate the time and talent you put into this to share with all of us. Bug Hugs:)
Critter hugs back to you. 🙂
Thanks for coloring on travel tips! So useful since I’m away the next week and want to continue the 30 Day Challenge! Hugs
Great cards. What a fabulous way to spend the time!
Your cards are amazing, to create on a flight trip is so impressive and such a fun way to spend the time!
Thank you for a great blog hop, I enjoyed it a lot. Now I’m getting ready to join your 30 days challenge, it will bw a lot of fun, I’m sure!
Thanks for the inspiration…your ability to fit in the coloring is impressive. Great card!!!
WOW
I am in AWE of YOU Kathy!!!
You did this on a plane, INCREDIBLE!!! … I have never tried creating on the go, dreaming of one day getting to sit beside you on a very long plane trip.
LOVE your colour, LOVE your “eyelashes”, LOVE your card and look forward to seeing your other butterfly in action real soon 🙂
I am just starting my Copic adventures, so think your colouring tip is very COOL and I confess that I had forgotten the “eyelashes”, will be trying them this time, as I FINALLY have some superfine markers, it’s going to be SO MUCH FUN!!!
You’ll get addicted to those fine line markers. Thanks for all the compliments. They warm my heart. 🙂
I envision your seatmates sitting with their mouth open in wonder over how you do that! GORGEOUS!!
Great cards and blog hop.
Cute card, and I love the mustache on the cactus that is adorable.
Lovely cards and a big round of applause for masking and colouring in a plane – I would be dropping my pens all over the floor and elbowing my fellow passengers! I have always wanted to take one of the online card classes, would so love to win a spot,mthanks for the chance and a fab 30 day challenge – it’s my first time entering and I just love being able to colour for a few minutes every day!
I’m thrilled you are participating in the color challenge. Welcome Rachel. Keep finding that time for you. 🙂
Your butterfly cards are beautiful, and the quick tips video was great – I learned a whole lot in just a few minutes! Thank you!
Beautiful card- love the details & colors. Guess I’d be afraid to carry my scissors onto a plane, thinking they might be taken. Love your portable kit!
Wow Kathy, your coloring skills are absolutely amazing! Love all of the beautiful detail you’ve added to the butterflies!
Just beautiful, Kathy! It would be such fun to sit next to you on a flight… and watch the magic happen! As always, thank for your inspiration and encouraging words!! ♡
pretty butterflies. Love he coloring
I’ll love to sit next to you on a plane Kathy!!
Wow – your work is beautiful. I need lots of practice. I get so disappointed because I have great expectations, and it always falls short. Thanks for sharing.
Excited to find your blog and join the color challenge! I usually have some sort of “emergency” crochet or knitting in a small bag that I take with me for those waiting times. Yesterday I inked up some panels to have “emergency” coloring for this month!
I’m thrilled you are participating in the color challenge. Welcome Sue. Glad to see you have a coloring emergency kit too. Coloring takes the stress out of life and waiting in line. LOL Thanks for joining in on the fun. 🙂
Beautiful butterflies!!
It would never occur to me to introduce a hand drawn pattern into that envelope. These are just amazing. Those butterflies are like to fly right off the page!
I love your coloring challenges. Although I don’t always post my coloring, I DO follow you and others, plus color every day myself. I was just getting into card making when I saw your 2nd challenge for the first time. Now I feel as if I know this community pretty well and continue to be amazed by the talent I see. Thank you!
We are so lucky to be part of a inspiring and encouraging community. Keep finding that time for you. Thrilled you here again. 🙂
Beautiful butterflies, thanks for all those tips!
The butterflies are gorgeous!! They look so real. I always love your coloring – you make it look so effortless. I know better. 🙂
I so admire your attention to detail. Butterflies have never been so lovely. Great way to make time “fly” on a plane. Thanks for the prize.
Oh Kathy! This is a great beginning What a great giveaway too.
I love the details you added to the envelopes and the eyelashes on the butterflies. I wouldn’t have thought of that. Looks like fun and adds a lot! Enjoyed the hop, thank you!
Wow, this is so cool. A lot of effort, but totally worth it!
Thanks for great ideas!!
I just love those little eyelashes and have added them to some of my butterflies. Thank you so much for doing another challenge there is so much inspiration from everyone who participates it just restarts my creativity.
yeah for butterflies! And like a butterfly I am on this new coloring challenge!
I’m thrilled you are participating in the color challenge. Welcome Mariana. Butterflies are one of my favorites too. Thank you for participating. 🙂

Gorgeous!! The butterflies have such dimension they truly look like they are flying off the page! So talented!
Hey Kathy!! I saw the video on YT before coming to your blog and commented there:) I also wanted to say that I am amazed at the masking and cutting and coloring you were able to do on the plane!! You are just fabulous girl!! :O)
I keep saying I’m going to color every day but it doesn’t happen.
I will try harder this time.
The hop was fantastic – very inspiring.
thanks.
Don’t stress yourself out. Make time for yourself whenever you can that’s the goal. Thanks for joining the FUN. 🙂
Kathy, thanks for the video on how you created these beautiful cards. I love your gorgeous butterflies, including the orange-y one in the video that has white on it. Thanks also for the blog hop and the chance to win a class!
Awesome colors and design.
Omg! I thought this was a coloring book! I’ll buy YOUR designs!
I will try and meet the challenge. May only be minutes a day, but I will try.
Online coloring classes are terrific. I’ve done two of them the last watercolor one and the sheer and clear one both excellent I’d be very happy to win one of my choice. Pick me pick me!
Love the coloring of the butterflies and the envelopes add a great touch to the card. Thanks so much for sharing and the chance to win!
Your butterflies on this card are beautiful. Great Copic coloring.
Such a gorgeous card! Love it!
Thank you for offering this coloring challenge.
This is so cool. I haven’t had a chance to participate yet, but I’m hoping I can get started tomorrow! Thanks for the opportunity and getting it all together.
Very nice job and color selection- thanks for sharing and for the chance to win the class! I might try to color on a plane so I am not a ball of anxiety lol
Do it!! Coloring works. Thanks for being a part of the challenge. 🙂
Beautiful cards! Love your challenge!
What beautiful butterfly cards. There are absolutely stunning. Thank you for sponsoring this coloring challenge. It really is such a fun challenge.
wow! i can’t believe you did all that on a plane. i love the craft bag you packed! will have to try that sometime.
wow that is amazing that you managed to make such a complicated card on a plane, loved all your little tips & tricks too
Fabulous coloring and gorgeous cards! I am so amazed that you did these on an airplane!
I’m sorry to say, I had no idea a card could look so beautiful with a few stamps and markers. If I received this card I’d hang it up so I could wake up to it every morning. It makes me smile. Thank you for sharing
How sweet of you to say. Thank you. You made my day. 🙂
Awesome!!!
Beautiful card, Kathy! I love butterflies. Your coloring is gorgeous even when you have to do it traveling. 🙂
I’m impressed that you could do that on an airplane!!! Those trays are so darn small!!! Love your card and techniques! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the video with Quick Tips. I always appreciate those. The Blog Hop was lots of fun–wonderful beautiful and happy cards, lots of great ideas and tips.
Such beautifulness! Love the coloring so gorgeous! Wish I was the one sitting next to you!
Thanks for the chance to win an awesome OCC Class!
God bless!
That is such a fab image and I am amazed at what your were able to do on the plane
It’s so good to see everyone participating! You are a wonderful encourager!
Thank you for providing inspiration to start crafting again. I realize now what draws me to any hobby whether it is crafting or gardening is color! It is great to have a month-long celebration of color. Your card is beautiful! I love how you create your own texture with plaids and dots!
Your butterfly beauty is out of this world Kathy!
Beautiful card Kathy ! I love coloring and do it often just not every day.
Wow!! This is stunning!! Love your coloring – and you did all that in a plane? Wow!!

Gorgeous!!! I love the backgrounds you make! And cute envelopes too!
Beautiful cards and love your coloring!
Love your butterflies! The colours are amazing.
Beautiful card!!!! I love the butterfly! !!!
Such talent! Love all the colour variations.
I just love all of your butterflies!! They are so beautiful!!!
I really enjoy your colouring style. I need to experiment more with colours and my Copics. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thank you! Your videos are packed full of tips!
Great card. Love the butterflies coming out of the envelope and the way you masked off the envelope when you did the pattern. Thanks for sharing!
Love your butterfly cards!! Don’t know how you managed any if that on a plane! I’m going to try to do the 30 day challenge!
I love your fun posts. Thanks for the links to the crafty supplies.
Wonderful cards!! I’ve had a real fear of “coloring” since I started making cards, but I have spent money on markers and watercolor paints so I need to use them. Thanks for the “push” to color. I’m going to try to use your challenge to get me started on a coloring journey! 🙂
I’m impressed that you were able to get all that done on a plane! Love the eyelashes!!!
The card video and the assorted step-by-step photos were so helpful. The packing video was helpful, too. I tend to over pack such things, then am overwhelmed and don’t know what to start with. I’m also concerned about the person next to me thinking I’m taking up too much space and moving around too much. With my luck, everything in the bag would spill all over the floor, some of the supplies never to be seen again. I’d love to find myself on a plane in the seat next to you. I hope the passenger next to you didn’t have to get up and use the restroom too many times, necessitating picking up everything and jeopardizing an image or wrinkling a card base. Nicely done!!!!
I could not do this on a flight! So good, love the colors, coloring & your style. Thanks for sharing.
Amazing – on a flight. You rock. Those flutterbys are gorgeous.
Love your challenges. I don’t do as much coloring as I’d like but I did take a stamped image of a map of the United States on our last road trip and colored in all the states license plates that I saw. ( I saw that on a blog but I can’t remember who, sorry) my husband got into it too, it was so much fun. You color so boldly colorful. Thanks
I love butterflies and yours are fabulous Kathy! I love your coloring and thanks for the challenge! You inspire me!
Amazing that you could do this on a plane, it must have been a smooth flight!thanks for a chance to win.
Loved your video, and I LOVE butterflies. I would never have thought to add the eye lashes, what a great idea. When you showed your work space after you were done, it made me LOL. I need that! Thanks for the challenge.
Your butterflies are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing your wonderful card.
Crafty hugs,

Thank You for the blog hop that full of inspirations!
Thanks for the many ideas for catdmaking, Kathy. Why does your colouring always look so flawless? These butterflies are absolutely lovely!
Kathy, what a great challenge, and your gorgeous butterflies flying out of the envelope are delightful. I’ve flown on several flights in my lifetime and never seen anyone stamping or coloring. You are famous! Thanks for the chance to win an Online Class. They have such an awesome line-up, and I could benefit greatly from any of them.
The cards are wonderful! I really want to thank you for the challenge, it’s like being given permission to color and not feel guilty. Great idea.
Oh Kathy you are so amazing I have seen your Video
