Hello Friends, How are you? It’s day 30!!! EEK!! I can’t believe how these coloring challenges seem to go by so quickly. I had a blast viewing all your creativity and reading how making time for yourself has been a positive experience for you like it is for me :). It’s music to my ears when you mention the calming effect of coloring. You all have been so kind and supportive of my 30 day coloring challenges and words can’t begin to express my gratitude. Our community is the best and the most supportive people I have had the pleasure of knowing. Thanks to each of YOU for motivating me to do these challenges.
For the last day I bring to you a card with a color key … a video and another giveaway. Let’s get started… I have a lot to say lol and it’s all in my video…. backwards and all. 🙂
I stamped the Peony in Spun Sugar and the leaves with Bundled Sage.
As you have noticed during the challenge that there is sooo much talent and coloring with heart. I really want to introduce you to EunJi Jung ! Omg she exudes such talent and she’s a coloring idol of mine. Well… guess what … she carved some stamps and had them reproduced. They are amazing!!! I am giving away one stamp from my own collection of her flowers.
EunJi also has a Botanical book of her flowers that she colored with pencils. I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E. right! You can find her blog here and she is on Instagram here. AND here is how you order her amazing paper, STAMPS and BOOK!!
Well. … I tried to copy her coloring and it took a lot of time. I almost gave up several times but, I am glad I stuck with it … I do try and take my own advice sometimes ha ha.
In the video I explain why a color key etc. etc. For today’s coloring I used these colored pencils … I found them not as soft as yesterdays pencils plus they did not break when I sharpened them. (I picked mine up at AC Moore on sale). The sentiment is from Mama Elephant’s “Labeled Messages” .
THE GIVEAWAY: A goodie bag including one of EunJi flower stamps & some of her papers. I will announce a random winner in a few days with all of the other giveaways. To quality … for fun just tell me where you are from and don’t worry my giveaways are always open to “internationals”.
In closing … The last day is always so bittersweet for me …it’s like when the holidays are over and you get that let down. I want to thank you each and everyone of you for making the challenge a super fun one. Your daily visits, the comments, the participation, the support etc. etc. T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U. from the bottom of my heart 🙂
AND … just so you know… you can continue to play along for the next few days so we can separate slowly lol. I will be back Tuesday to announce the winners to all of the giveaways. Thanks again and again for everything! Big ole’ hugs, Kathy xoo
P.S. 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.

Happy coloring!

You have inspired me to try colouring with pencils now! Thanks Kathy. Tracy Hawkins I am from the UK England.
Hi, I’m from Enschede, the Netherlands.

These are the most beautiful stamps I have seen in a long time! She is so super talented! Thanks for the video too I love the look of no line coloring!
Kathy I’m so excited to see a video with no-line colored pencils! I have an images stamped and ready to be colored but I needed some inspiration. Can’t wait to watch it. I’m from NY, we actually met at one of the Mama Elephant events 🙂
Eunji’s stamps are gorgeous and your coloring was perfect. I love your videos, don’t ever stop making them, Including your cauliflower lunch or not, lol. I’m from the very hot & humid Clearwater, Fl, ugh!!
30 days went so fast. Somewhere in day 10th I thought it would be so many days ahead and now they ended. I had so much fun coloring these days! Not speaking of finally getting my hands on the stamps I buy but never use. Thank you so much for running this challenge!
I’m originally from Ukraine, but now live in NYC.
Hi Kathy, I am from Cincinnati. I have enjoyed this challenge so much. I watched the last challenge, but did not participate because I did not know if I could commit to it everyday. I am like that if I commit to something, I have to give it my 110%. Anyway, I made myself think if you cannot give an hour or two or even three every day, then all it takes is 5 minutes. I know there were some nights that I could not do more than 15 minutes, but I managed. And I have enjoyed every minute of it. I also have enjoyed all of the talent that I have seen and all of the inspiration I gained. I so look forward to the next coloring challenge. Seems like other challenges I have read about you have to have a blog or website and this is one that did not so I really appreciate that since I do not blog. Thanks again for this opportunity and the chance to win. It has been FUN!
Music to my ears that you enjoyed yourself and found some time for yourself. This challenge is also to be strees free. LOL 🙂
Lovely card and colouring! Thanks for another 30 days of inspiration.
I’m from Canada. 🙂
Thank you for your hard work on the coloring challenge. I can’t wait for the next one to begin!! Sending you smiles from Columbus, Ohio! 🙂
Gorgeous colouring Kathy, thanks for the chance to win some goodies : )
I’m in Perth, Western Australia.
Okay….I already knew you were the Queen of Copics, but your pencil coloring is right there, too. This card is so beautiful and I love the added circles on the edge. How clever. These stamps are wonderful and I would love to win one….I love botanicals.
I don’t know how or why anyone would give you a thumbs down….probably just some mean spirited, jealous person, so as my Mom always said about people who behave badly, I.G.N.O.R.E. them. You are fabulous and so generous with your time and talent.
Great video….I had to giggle when you almost slipped in one of your “French” words….reminded me of a good chuckle you afforded me in a prior post. You are so cute and funny.
Have a wonderful day and thanks for making mine better.
Lovely card and colouring! Thanks for another 30 days of inspiration. i am from Michigan
Hi Kathy, thanks a bunch for all your tutorials. Your coloring is perfect.
I’m from Canada.
I’m sorry to hear you had thumbs down for your videos. Indeed they don’t have to watch: thumbs down for them not you.
Have a great day
I’ve been enjoying the challenge. And I’ve learned so much. Thank you! I am from Northern California.
Hi Kathy! Thanks so much for all you do with the 30 day coloring challenge, you’re amazing. We love this challenge it’s good for all of us. This card you made today is stunning. I follow Eunji on Instagram she has great talent and I was excited to see you featuring her work here. We looking forward to seeing you in future for the next 30 day coloring challenge. Hugs from Boaz (2), Violet (4), Eleanore (6), and myself in Missouri.
This is the first coloring challenge for me…it was a great inspiration! I even got my mom to color!! It is the best medicine! I am from beautiful Anacortes in Washington State! Thanks Kathy – so glad to have found your blog!
I’m thrilled you found me. How special you got your mom in on the fun. I agree coloring is the best medicine as long as you laugh too. 🙂
So gorgeous …both the stamp and your coloring!! I follow Eunji, she’s very talented!
I am in BC Canada, I would LOVE to give Eunji’s stamp lotsa inky love 😀
TFS and Kathy…thank you so so much for hosting another color challenge the inspiration is phenominal!! TFS
Oh. My. Word!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gorgeous doesn’t even begin to describe my feelings on this
Absolutely gorgeous! I can’t wait to give no line coloring a try. I’m from Oviedo, it’s right outside of Orlando Florida.
This card is stunning. Thanks so much for sharing it and for highlighting EunJi’s art. I’m from North Carolina.
Wow wow wow! She is so amazingly talented! That just made my mouth drop to the floor because her coloring and art skills are to die for. Does she sell her stamps anywhere? I am from Phoenix Az (but currently living in Rapid City, South Dakota because of military living). I love your card as well I think it turned out beautiful.
I put all the links on how to order her stamps in my blog post. They aren’t sold in the US. Thank you for being a part of the challenge.:)
I’m from South Florida. I really like the color reference on the side of your card. Beautiful coloring! This was my first coloring challenge and I had fun.
I love to hear you had fun and made special time for you. Keep coloring.:)
Eunji is soooo talented, I always look forward to her IG posts! 🙂 Thank you for sharing her talents with all of us and also your process of working with color pencils. I am much faster with Copics too and I rarely use my color pencils, but I will be giving them a go again soon. Thank you also for hosting another super inspiring and wonderful sharing time with so many talented crafters with your 30 day coloring challenge. You’re awesome! Big hugs, Kristina
I can’t believe how quickly this challenge has passed…bittersweet indeed, but as I’ve mentioned before, I plan to continue to colour often, often and often! Currently, my husband and I live Canmore, Alberta, Canada (no crafting supply stores at all…sighhhh). Edmonton Alberta I still consider ‘home’, because that’s where my family is…and I was born in Ottawa, Ontario. A bit of a nomad in some ways….

Yes, Georgia does have mountains! Thanks so much for doing another coloring challenge, I know that it’s tons of work for you, but soooo appreciated. The talent out there is amazing.
Beautiful card and coloring! I’m from Boise Idaho.
I can’t believe it’s the last day. What fun it has been. Thank you for the video today and the month of fun. I loved your card today. It was so pretty.
Also, the prizes are amazing. I don’t have Facebook or Instagram or any social media or I would go there to put my name in the hat.
Thank you again for all you do.
Gads! That flower is absolutely stunning- both the image and the coloring! I’ll definitely be heading to EunJi’s pages to have a look!
That flower is a work of art – so beautiful.

you inspired me to use my colored pencils again! LOVELY flower image!
Minneapolis, Minnesota for me
Kathy, this is absolutely stunning! What a way to wrap up your 30 days! I am in awe! Thank you for the video! The detail you achieved with your pencils is amazing! It took you a long time but it was worth it! Wow! I really like the colour key – it’s such a nice detail to add! These stamps are absolutely gorgeous – what a talented lady – this is the first time I’ve heard of her so thank you! By the way, I’m in Nova Scotia, Canada! Thank you for these past 30 days! I’m still colouring every day and haven’t missed a day – Yay! I’m about to colour now but wanted to drop in here first for inspiration, and I’m so glad I did! Regarding your thumbs-down person, just ignore them – some people are filled with negativity and want to bring everyone else down – your videos are awesome and so are you! Don’t ever forget that!
Very inspirational. Thanks. I’m from Ardrossan, Alberta, Canada.
Noooooo it can’t already be day 30. OMG what to do? Kathy I love love love the flowers you seem to come across. Myself I don’t have that kind of luck. When I get them they are not what I thought lol. Flowers are my favorite to work with. Hope the next 30 day challenge is soon. Thanks again for each and everyday.
Hi Kathy, I’m from Singapore and love your coloring!
Love the card and the idea of using the coloring key! Thank you for giving the links to the stamps, can’t afford them right now but maybe some day as they are so beautiful! Keep up the good work, & I’m from Virginia.
Gorgeous card Kathy. Love the coloring! I should give this a try since we all have colored pencils… starting with a small image. 🙂 LOL! Don’t you worry about those thumbs down! Some people just don’t have anything better to do and they must be miserable and want to dampen happy people’s life! You are amazing and please keep this up! The videos, the tutorials, the lovely projects! Happy crafting!
PS… I am from Hungary originally, but have been living in NH for (exactly) 20 years!
? Kathy went to her site but when you go to put an item in your cart it doesn’t translate to English and I sure don’t read Japanese lol. Any ideas because I really do love some of her bigger flowers?
On my blog under an image it says: EunJi also has a Botanical book of her flowers that she colored with pencils. I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E. right! You can find her blog here and she is on Instagram here. AND here is how you order her amazing paper, Click on “here” and it should bring to engish and how to order in english plus pricing in english. I hope this helps. 🙂
Sad to see the 30 days end, but know another will pop up in the future. I am from North Carolina.
Such a beautiful card! I am from Nova Scotia, Canada.
I’m from the east coast of Florida. Oh, my, the days have flown by. I enjoy seeing every day what you have created, and in the evening I try to find a few minutes (or an hour or so) to color and play. I really want to thank you for taking the time to post every day and for all the fabulous giveaways (even though I never win anything, it’s still fun to see someone else win).
Fabulous colouring! Thank you for coordinating and inspiring us on the 30 day challenge! Delta, BC, Canada
Amazing. I’m from Ontario, Canada.
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!
Such a beautiful flower! Looks like it is right out of the garden!
AHHHH-MAZING!!! So gorgeous!!

Kathry I just love your coloring on this beautiful flower. I have just started to try to this but mine looks so so…Thank you for a chance to win one of these beautiful flowers! Oh and the color key is a great idea, when my coloring gets better I’m going to use that idea.
Hi Kathy! I’m your friend/neighbor in Maryland! These stamps are gorgeous and so is your card and coloring. Thanks so much for the video and I am so sad that there are such nasty people out there to say something to you, who gives up so much of your time to make us happy with your color challenges and your blog and other social media. I LOVED your video! Awesome month of inspiration.
I truly believe if you don’t have something nice to say just don’t say anything at all!
Hugs
I’m in Oregon, Kathy. Thanks for all the inspiration & another fun 30 day challenge! I am finally starting to do some coloring since I got the Zigs & who knows–eventually I may even use my colored pencils–haha!
Kathy, you are such an awesome and kind person, thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing this fantastic challenge! Not to mention I think you are a colouring genius, seriously! It has been so much fun for me, and I have learned many things and it really makes me feel apart of something which is so nice for me. I am from Ontario Canada, I live with my wonderful husband and we have a 19 year old daughter who is off at university. Thank you again. xxx

Hi Kathy, I am from Lacombe, Alberta, Canada. Your card is really beautiful. Such a soft shade of pink. Love! Thanks for the chance to win. 🙂
Watched all 30 days–some were fabulous and others were interesting, but not my style. PLEASE do not take to heart the thumbs down people–they are sad, pathetic people. Thank you for showing me things I wouldn’t have tried without your encouragement.
This is sooooooo beautiful! You have slouch a wonderful way with colors, I only wish I had half that talent! I have so enjoyed all of your posts, your funny comments and really thought your story of recording yourself eating instead of your thanking video was so funny! I have “recorded” something many times only to see it was not recording until I turned it “off” too! So glad I am not the only one! Thank you for all you do…a million thumbs up …shame on whoever gives thumbs down! ❤️
I’m from “the first mountain city” in North Georgia, Jasper.Love the video today. You always let us know how you feel about things. That’s refreshing. We do appreciate your giving of your time and yourself for the challenges. It seemed to be more “challenging” this time because you were traveling part if the 30 days. I’ve been following you for ages, since Jennifer McQuire mentioned you as one of her buddies. Keep up the wonderful sharing of your many talents and yourself. Now–go rest. You deserve it. The card was gorgeous today but far above my skill level.
From Rialto, CA…
I just love your 30day challenges… learn so much
Kathy, you are such a wonderful inspiration. These stamps are so beautiful. I am originally from Missouri but now I live in Florida. It is interesting to see where everyone is from. Great idea.

I was able to color nearly everday but mostly in my book. Thank you for all your inspiration, techniques and ideas. Sending hugs from Moncton, New Brunswick. Canada
Stunning flower! I’m from Oregon and love the coloring challenge.
Kathy this is just amazing! Can’t thank you enough for sharing and inspiring us!
Thank you for another great month, I didn’t have time to upload this month, life is challenging at the moment, more than usual I guess. I can’t believe someone is giving you a thumbs down, so rude! Your video’s and heart are so great–you teach us and encourage us. I’m glad you admit that sometimes it’s even hard for you, but you go on and show us that we shouldn’t stop, just keep doing what we do. Thanks so much, I’m hoping I can participate fully when your next coloring challenge comes around. You did an amazing job on the peony, these stamps are gorgeous!
I have been loving the challenge. This is my 2nd time to try this. I am from Bellingham, WA. I will continue on with you. I love how you use different mediums during the challenge. It encourages me to do the same. Thanks again for all your inspiration!
I enjoy all your videos and the 30 day coloring challenge. I am new to card making and really appreciate all the instruction for card making and coloring. The peony is gorgeous and the coloring so soft and true to life. I would love to have a stamp from Eunji Jung. I too am a Jung by marriage. I live in Maryland, USA.
Absolutely gorgeous, Kathy! What a wonderful Grand Finale to our wonderful coloring challenge!! I have colored more than ever before during the past month. So grateful for your time, support, and encouragement! As a ‘newer’ cardmaker, your kind words mean so much, Kathy!
It’s such fun to read everyone’s comments here. We are truly an international group of papercrafters! I live near Chicago, Illinois. After working in the garden in the morning, our hot, summer afternoons are just perfect for a bit of coloring and cardmaking! Sending sunny hugs! ♡
I’m in the SW USA. We’re melting in the heat! Thanx for hosting this challenge. I’ve learned a lot this month.
You did an awesome job coloring that rose.
I’m from Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Wasn’t she generous to send you all of her stamp collection! Wow! I follow her as well and love her Botanicals, you’ve Cased this magnificently! Love the silly story about the video fail ba ha ha! Two Thumbs Up!! Oh-boy those pencils look to stay sharp?!
The colored pencils were user friendly and didn’t break with a nice sharp point. Thanks for your kind words and eing part of the coloring challenge. 🙂
Shout out from Baltimore, MD! I Love love love this floral!!! So beautiful, it’s like sending a true work of art (not than EVERY card I make is something I consider MY work of art – with the time it takes to plan and execute that plan!) – but this one is like one of those botanical incredibly detailed drawings!
Hi my creative and inspirational girl. I am one of your Canadian fans.
Kathy, you are a true inspiration and mentor to so many of us. I admire your wonderful talent, and so appreciate the time and effort you have put into all of your coloring challenges. I aspire to your level and guess I will just have to keep on practicing…for a loooong time!
Thank you for your kindness and encouragement, and of course, for your GREAT videos. Love them all! I am from Colorado and appreciate the chance to win one of those gorgeous stamps. God bless you and yours.
Texas here. Don’t let the haters get to you. You are so inspiring and talented. Thanks for all you do.
These flowers are the most awesome I’ve seen. And, the coloring is over the top! I would absolutely love to win one of these and if I don’t I’ll just have to order. Thanks so much for bringing these to “our” attention.
One the subject of thumbs down; I’m sorry to hear you have gotten even one. In my opion and don’t see a reason to even have a thumbs down option. Either you give it a thumbs up or move on. Your work and effort does NOT earn a thumbs down from anyone unless these people are jealous/envious of your work. Keep on creating and sharing.
PS: I am in Madison WI
I love following you and especially during your color challenges! This is a gorgeous flower, and you should really frame it! It looks like a piece of art. Thank you for all you share and your encouragement.

Beautiful stamp and lovely coloring, Kathy! I love no-line coloring, too, and use distress inks for both the stamping and the watercoloring.
Kathy, Thanks for another fun coloring challenge. Each challenge has been fun and just keeps getting better! Your card for today is fabulous, just stunning! I’m from Northeast Ohio.
I love your card from today! The colors were beautifully muted, and beautifully presented. Thank you for the inspiration and the time spent these past 30 days.
The stamps are really awesome as is her coloring of them. What a talent. As you said, so many talented people. Thanks to you for organizing this and to all for sharing. Saying hi from Washington DC
Awesome idea to use a color key! It’s surprising to see all the colors that go into it. Followed each day and appreciate all the work and time this took! From hot and humid Florida, I say THANK YOU so much!
Kathy, I’m from Massachusetts. I love the coloring you did on this flower–beautiful. I need to practice more with colored pencils. Thanks again very much for running the 30-day; I really enjoy seeing other colorers’ creations!

P.s when is the next one
Thanks for the motivating challenges & for sharing this video.
WOW! This is the most amazing colouring that I’ve seen. Thank you for the video so that we can see the process. I’m not a great colourer, so seeing how you “did it” is very inspiring to me!
Wow those stamps are amazing! I think your coloring is beautiful! I love to watch you color. Don’t let the downers get you down, there are some people who just like to make other people feel as bad as they feel.
Kathy, I gasped once again when I saw your colouring. You are the Queen! Thank you so much for your gentle encouragement as well as your generous inspiration. Your kind heart (I cherish the card you sent me a couple years ago) brings more smiles than I can say. Thank you for being you! Hugs from Montreal, Canada.
Aloha Kathy, I’m from Hawaii. I love your card, your coloring is gorgeous! I also love the idea of adding the color key to the cards you’re sending especially to fellow card makers who I’m sure will definitely appreciate it–great idea! I watched you color and I also listened to your story. You made me laugh at times but I also felt so bad for you about the video that got ruined. But I think this video made up for that, you taught me a lot by just watching you. Thank you for the 30 Day Challenge, you are a great inspiration to us all!
Oh WOW!!! Gorgeous stamps, colored book and your card. Your coloring is AMAZING, Kathy!!! This card is my favorite in this challenge. Thank you for sharing another great video, for the inspiration and opportunity to win one of these gorgeous stamps. :o) I’m from Croatia. :o) xx
These flowers are amazing!
What a beautiful flower to end the 30 day challenge. I have learned so many things in this challenge from you. I am so grateful that you do them. Thank you for your time and commitment to all of us out here and I can’t wait until the next challenge. Keep it going strong. You are a most wonderful woman with artistic talent and a very kind spirit. Love you. Sincerely Shona
Hi Kathy! Loved the challenge! I got to participate in this one more than I have any of the past ones so that was awesome. Smiles, from Canton, Georgia!
Gorgeous flower I love the soft look. Thanks so much for sharing. We loved playing along here (my 5 year old) and I here in Houston, TX
I don’t think I could do the no line coloring. I’m not even sure I like it very much, except for these flowers! They are so gorgeous! I wish I could color as nice as this! Really!!
Spectacular flower – so very elegant ! I am from Colorado – the name tells the story !
Thank you so much for al the inspiration.
Howdy from Carrollton, Texas. I’ve loved the coloring challenge. I’ve never tried no line coloring but I’m going to give it a go. Your coloring is beautiful.
Wow! This is gorgeous! The coloring and stamps from DotB are stunning as well! I am from Florida and we have so many beautiful flowers around here which remind me so much of all the colors and detail you used on your card! I am in awe!
Stunningly Gorgeous!
God bless from Ohio!
I am 84 yrs. old and am trying my hand at making cards. I want to copy your FABULOUS card and hopefully it will resemble yours. You really inspire me to keep trying to create cards that will touch a person deeply. That is what your work does for me… Thank you for sharing your God given talent with the crafting world.
Thank you Kathy for your encouraging words & your enthusiasm for coloring. I’ve truly enjoyed my first 30-day challenge. Mahalo from Hawaii!
Loved your card! You make it look so easy! I am from a small town just outside Athens. Georgia, home of the BULLDOGS! Thanks for sharing your creativity with all of us
Beautiful card for Day 30 and a big thank you from Ireland 🙂
Hafa Adai (Hello) from Guam, Kathy! I read every person’s comment to see if anyone else from here follows you. Sadly, I didn’t see anyone else. Guam is such a small island, we technically could meet up and color with you! Thanks so much for your 30-day challenge. I tried to color every day myself, but I couldn’t. However, that doesn’t mean I’m giving coloring up! Definitly NOT! Thank you for such inspiration and for this finale of EunJi’s work. I haven’t looked at the video yet, but will and will look her up too. Blessings to you and everyone who participated in this challenge! It’s been WONDERFUL to follow along!!!!
Gorgeous coloring you did a fabulous job! I really enjoy viewing the 30 Day Challenge. It’s so inspirational listening and seeing your videos. I look forward to seeing more coloring in the near future. Hugs from Connecticut
Hi Kathy, thanks for this awesome challenge and lots of inspiration!
I am from Czech Republic, but atm I live in Germany.
This last day do not disappoint . What a gorgeous flower. I look forward to the next Color challenge. I love seeing all the talent that follows you. Loving color in Silver Spring. MD
A crowning achievement to a fab month! It never ceases to amaze me the colors you don’t think of that add richness to a beauty like this!!
I only got to actively do 2/3 of the days, but had much fun here in sunny Florida. Thank you for all your hard work and kind comments!!
What a beautiful flower and you have coloured it so amazingly. I live in NSW , two hours from Sydney which is on the East coast of Australia. I am just starting to colour in so let’s hope I can be as good as you some day.
Thanks for all your inspiration.

HI Kathy,
This flower is AMAZING!!!
I’m from Savannah, GA (originally from Alexandria, VA) 🙂
Your flower is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you so much for all the wonderful coloring tips. I have learned so much from watching your awesome videos! I live in the great state of Nebraska but am currently on vacation on the Oregon coast. Yes, I did bring my coloring supplies & have been coloring a lot. I’m looking forward to posting some of my coloring on the next challenge. Not easy to do while traveling!
This is absolutely stunning! I’m from Oregon.
Kathy, I have enjoyed every minute of this challenge. I love what you do and I so enjoy getting to know even more people over on Instagram. I know this is a lot of work for you and I want to thank you. By the way, I am from Arizona outside of Phoenix. Hot and so beautiful! (Originally from New Jersey though.)
As always, your card is gorgeous! Your enthusiasm for your craft and your sweet and beautiful spirit is so inspiring. It’s been a pleasure following your blog. I joined Instagram specifically to post my cards for my first ever 30-Day Challenge. Seeing all the beautiful posts and now following so many card makers I hope to color and create more frequently. I am from, what was once called the Citus Calitol of the World, a beautiful little city in Ventura County, California.
Hugs, from this mama of two little rescues
Oops, I meant to say, “Citrus Capitol.”
Gorgeous! What beautiful colouring and design. So subtle.
Thanks for providing the challenge and your visits to me – I think I got to play a couple more days than in previous 30 day challenges 🙂 YAH.
I’m from Melbourne, Australia.
These are STUNNING!
I’m from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Wow Kathy!!! The Peony was absolutely perfect! I’m from Spring, TX.
I’m from Indianapolis, IN. Thanks for the giveaway!
Wow how stunning!!!
Amazingly gorgeous coloring…wow, wow, wow!!! I’m in Columbus, OH 🙂
Oh my your coloring on the flower is simply breathtaking, love it!! I’m originally from South Africa but the suburbs of Chicago is where home is now:-))
30 days sounds like a long time but it went quickly! Your card is beautiful! I like to use pencils but mine look nothing like yours! Your videos are always so awesome. I can’t imagine anyone not liking them. Your honesty and humor are so enjoyable! Watching you helps so much! And I would never mute your video! Thanks for an enjoyable 30 days!!
The flower and the colouring are beautiful! I am from Edmonton, AB, Canada .
Hi Cathy, I’m from Sydney Australia and far from being sunny and summery, it’s rainy and wintery!!! I’d love to master this no line technique, I’ve had a little go at it but I think I need more practise!! Thanks for always inspiring me….
I live in Aiken, South Carolina. It can’t be over already! Love your month-long blog posts. You’re so inspiring!
What a gorgeous set of stamps and you did an amazing job colouring! Such beautiful images for day 30! Great wrap up Kathy. I had a lot of fun knowing others were colouring too. Thanks so much for holding it.
Thanks for the 30 day color challenge. I was great . Your card is amazing. I am in Marietta, Ga.
Oh my gosh, this post stopped me in my tracks. How beautiful! Love, love, love this coloring style. You made it look so easy . . . . I’m going to try to do this immediately! After I get the stamp of course. Thank you for showing us this artist. Amazing!!! Always enjoy your coloring day challenges and what a way to end this one.
That is a beautiful stamped image to start with, but your coloring really tops it off! Well done, from So California!
Oh, Kathy, this is simply beautiful work. I adore your work and thank YOU for all your teachings, inspiration, giveaways and your kindness. I hope to color all 30 days next time! I just didn’t get there this round. Life. 🙂
And I forgot to say I am from Florida; born, raised, lived in the same county my whole (long) life.
Hey Kathy – congrats on day 30 of another fabulous color challenge. While I didn’t color every day, I managed to do a lot more than usual – so yay! Just loved your video with the pencils and no-line coloring; what realistic shading!! You know me – living in MN but originally from WI, a Cheesehead and Packer backer 🙂
Kathy! It’s always sad when the challenges end. I like having an excuse to color. I mean I know I can but its about giving myself a free pass to treat myself. I actually had less time this time around but that made the days I could even more satisfying. Your a true gem, so genuine and warm. I love all your videos and sweet comments and I know it takes ages and ages! I’ve made like three videos and all of them took just ages.
Anyways I’m from Chicago!
OH, WOW! I could not believe you almost gave up. I do hope that by the time you finished the first petals that you were greatly encouraged! I got a pack of botanical postcards on the clearance rack at Michael’s about 4 months ago and have had a ball learning to color them “accurately!” Never knew I had it in me. It was very helpful to find the original paintings to be a guide since I didn’t know what some of the flowers were supposed to look like! I might get some of those pencils. I have the same brand of watercolor pencils and have really enjoyed them. They release color like a dream and the selection is a nice complement to the more expensive set of Derwent I got later. I am getting bolder about color mixing, but it’s nice to find “just the right shade” of green! Thanks for these challenges, for all the tips, and even the rambling. You have inspired me mightily. I live in Richmond, VA (you asked!).
Sorry to post twice, but I forgot to say TWO thumbs and all ten toes up!!!!

Hello from Sunny Island Singapore. But I am Thai from Bangkok, Thailand (Land of Smiles). Married and moved to my hubby’s country Singapore. Have 2 kids at 9 (boy) and 6 (girl) *lol* I am ok that the challenge is over because I know there will be the next one sooner or later. hehe (already looking forward for the next 30days challenge) Thank you so much Kathy for doing all these for us. You’re loved and Blessed! >hugs<
Your no-line coloring is amazing!! I am sad that this challenge is ending too, looking forward to the next one! I am from Montreal, Canada.
Thanks, Kathy, for another fantastic 30-day challenge. They are always so much fun and so inspiring. I am originally from Michigan, but at the moment reside in Western North Carolina. Cheers!
Hi Kathy,
I have so enjoyed the last 30 days and even sat last night and did a no lines colouring which I will add even though it will make it Day 30.1 just so I can show you. I bought 5 stamps myself and they arrived two days ago so I coloured one with watercolour and one no line. I just wanted to say again ‘thank you for such a wonderful challenge. I truly love colouring and this is such a wonderful way to share and learn and build up not only skills but friendships through others met on the challenge. I started out on Instagram and can now see what all the fuss is about. Its so lovely to meet so many likeminded people who share the love and passion. Your starting of these Challenges has been the best thing since sliced bread I reckon. Thank you so much. Oops nearly forgot from Australia.
Your work is amazing. Thank you for taking the time to explain what you did and how you changed the way you colored your flower. I would love to be able to color a flower this way.
I am from California and I can’t stop admiring these beautiful flowers! You always make everything look within reach of all crafters, but I am seriously intimidated here!!
OMG she is one talented gal! I was born in Vancouver, grew up in New Jersey, have lived in baltimore and chicago and now call michigan home 🙂
Hi Lindarub , from nj I love doing your coloring challenge it makes me color stamps that need some love that I haven’t used in awhile. Thanks for making coloring fun.
This is absolutely stunning, Kathy! Your flower is beautyful!!
Thank you for this challenge – it has inspired me to do a lot of coloring and now have many images ready to turn into cards.
Hugs and warm wishes from the tip of the African Continent – Cape Town in South Africa
hi – i’m from Nebraska now, but have lived all over the USA and also Scotland – born and raised in Wisconsin. always love your coloring challenge and Eunji’s flowers are gorgeous
– would love to be your winner.
Beautiful card!!!!!! I like the idea of the color code (my biggest struggle). Thanks for a great challenge and all the inspiration. I’m from California (originally from Guam).
I just have to comment once again. I just watched your video and am blown away with your work!! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL – I wish, just wish I could do as well as you.
I went to ‘Dot’s blog and stamps – wow how wonderful! I can’t find a place to translate
into English :o( I really would like to know what she is saying. I sure want to get one or
two of her stamps – sigh! Thank you for everything. I’m already looking forward to your next challenge!
Thank you so much for the time you have given all of us with your 30 -Day
Challenge! I have enjoyed your videos so much. Every morning I have
looked forward to your email with the new days post. I have had so much
fun learning new techniques. The flower and coloring are absolutely
gorgeous! I am from Colorado.
Kathy your card is so AWESOME> Thanks for taking the time to make a video. I so enjoyed it and learned from it also.
Your flower is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! I need to use colored pencils more after watching this!! And check out a new artist! Thanks for all the coloring tips, now just to find the time to color. July is a hard month for me, I’m an Ohio farmers wife. Garden, Hay fields, and general farm work keep us busy in the summer. I’ve been so busy putting up veggies and fruit (along with helping in the hay field). I do hope you’ll have another challenge in the winter months-that’s when I do most of my stamping…..
This is a STUNNER Kathy and so is “Dot’s” work. I have pinned this to use as a reference. I only have school grade Prismacolor pencils, hopefully someday I can upgrade but at least I can try to learn some techniques. Thank you for putting so much into these challenges, it means SO VERY MUCH to those of us who enjoy it as you do!
Coloring in Illinois:))
Super video Kathy! I LOVED the color reference idea, gonna use that real soon!!
I’ve been waiting to get extra PAYPAL $$$ to buy some of EunJi’s AMAZING stamps. They are a colorists’ dream aren’t they?
I am from Ohio and I love your challenges!!! Keep them going
Awesome details to the gorgeous flower! Great finale for your 30 day challenge!
I am in northern CA!
Hi Kathy, congratulations on another successful 30day challenge. You colouring, teaching and encouraging has been wonderful. So much inspiration!
I’m Ottawa, Canada and have enjoyed joining in whenever I could.
Greetings from Kentucky! You are so super talented and such a sweet person to take your time gong thru so many submissions and links to showcase or creations. You’ve been a wonderful inspiration to always take a few minutes for myself and that everything doesn’t have to be perfect to be loved. Thank you.
Your flower turned out so pretty. Good way to end the challenge.
Greetings from sunny so cal.
Hi Kathy! Thanks for all your inspiration! It was so much fun!! I’m from Ohio!
Wow, beautiful coloring. You did such a great job. I like the color key along the side. It reminds me of some of the quilting fabric that you can buy. They often have a color key like that on the selvage edge. Thanks for all your hard work on the 30 day coloring challenges.
Your coloring is amazing, Kathy! Thanks for the video and color key. Thanks for the giveaway. And especially, thanks for the challenge! I didn’t get to color EVERY day, but I colored more days than not, so that was good — and much needed R & R after a crazy semester and summer term. Looking forward to next time!
Oh, and I’m in Upland, CA (in the greater Los Angeles area).
Thank you from Manteca, CA for 30 days of awesome coloring!
New Hampshire chiming in! Thanks for the wonderful 30 days of inspiration.
I live on the beautiful shores of Georgian Bay in the town of Midland in Ontario, Canada. Loved taking part in the 30 day colouring challenge, Kathy. Hope you’ll have another one soon. You are such an inspiration!
Kathy, I am from a small town in southeastern Alberta, Canada. I love that your contests are open to everyone. Thank you!
Here’s a big heartfelt THANK YOU filled with much gratitude and admiration for you from Texas!! I will really miss your daily emails, but I hope you have something planned just for you!! You are so talented and I appreciate all you have done for this challenge! Hugs!
Thank you for the 30-day challenge. This is bittersweet that we are at the end. This card is so fantastic! One of my top 5 favorites.
Stunning and gives me the WANT! I live in Oklahoma and peonies abound here every spring. This video truly inspires me to pull my prismacolors out more often. Her botanicals are truly amazing. Thank you – your 30 day challenge has been good for me.
I am from Bloomington, Indiana. No line coloring has always mystified me so your video has been very helpful. I’m looking forward to trying this out very soon. Thanks for all the fun posts and I am looking forward to the next 30 Days of Coloring challenge!
Hi Kathy – beautiful colouring! The detail you’ve achieved is stunning I’m from Vancouver Island.
This was a great video, Kathy. Your card is STUNNING!! Jaw dropping. I am from Rochester, New York. This is my third or fourth of your challenges, and I must say, they get better and better! Thank you, so much, for all the time and work you put into this. It is so appreciated. Now, take a nice, long, much deserved break and enjoy.
I am from South Carolina. . . .thanks, Kathy, it has been an inspirational ride. . . .
I’m from Florida. 🙂 Thank YOU for this fun way of sharing and being creative. I was thinking the challenge part went through the 5th. Oh no, it’s over. Maybe I need to separate slowly, haha. Lovely creations here for sure.
I liver in a suburb right outside Orlando in FL! First of all Sweetie, don’t give one more moment of thought to the 2 ingrates who put thumbs down. You are an amazingly talented artist. Feel what you feel from your own self-worth. It’s the only opinion that really matters. You are sharing your time, your passion, your talent and experience with us!
I don’t know what day I found your challenge. I started coloring 5 minutes a day. I bought this precious, floral, small coloring book and spent 4 hours yesterday coloring in it with gel pens! Lol
I am so inspired by your multitude of coloring abilities, and I am going to go back and watch/re-watch all of the videos.
I LOVED the peony you used colored pencils on today…magnificent! I say frame it! And, thank you for generously offering one of those stunning stamps to a reader today.
Im sorry this comment is so long. I couldn’ find the area before today to leave commentsThank you for these last 30 days! I will continue to color every day!

Oh my, this is gorgeous! It reminds me of a Redoute painting. I follow EunJi on Instagram, and her work is truly amazing! Hello from Tennessee!
Thank you for starting and keeping it going. The color challenge for me is a huge source of information and encouragement. I’m from Hermitage, TN and I look forward to the next 30 day challenge.
You saved your best for last. This is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for another great 30 day stretch of inspiration. I’m a Florida girl now living in South Carolina.
OhMy! This is beyond beautiful!! I’m so thankful for your videos and tutorials – they’re really helpful.
I have been following her too! And I’ve been wanting f her stamps!! Such s fun challenge! –deep in the heart of Texas.:)
Kathy- congrats on a successful challenge! Thanks so much for running this; it’s been inspirational , educational and therapeutic ! Your flower today is stunning, and so worth the effort to stick with it! Thanks again, Kathy! I’ve no doubt the world is a better place for all of your encouragement and prompting to color, a little every day, treating ourselves to a bit of therapy for the soul, and by extension, helping us face whatever other challenges we have in our lives .
Ooh- and I forgot to say I’m checking in from Minneapolis, MN. So fun to see all the locations and the true global reach and support of this challenge!
Austin, TX.
Thank you for doing another challenge. I’ve really enjoyed all of the inspiration this past month. I’m sure it’s a lot of work for you, and I wanted to make sure I said thank you.
I love the no line look but I would be so lost. I don’t think this is for me but I sure appreciate looking at it. Your flower is beautiful. So soft.
I am from Washington State. in the Southwest area of the state. no we don’t get rain all the time.. but don’t tell anyone.. lol
I enjoyed so much this coloring challenge! It was such a great experience! Thank you Kathy!
I am from Romania but I am living in Germany!
Hugs!
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING image and colouring Kathy – WOW!!!
YOU are SO TALENTED, Eunji is too!!!
I’m from Down Under in Australia and find it such a JOY to be part of our AMAZING crafting COMMUNITY 🙂
PS – so sorry to hear about your recording challenges … they can be a real NIGHTMARE!!!
PPS – day 30 ALREADY?!?!? Noooooooo, it can’t be, I’m still having SO MUCH FUN – THANK YOU for ALL your share with us Kathy, you are SO GENEROUS with your TALENT and TIME and I APPRECIATE it ALL!!!
I really enjoyed the full month with so many stunning techniques and always love this coloring challenge with so many talent to see at one stopage from all over the World!!! You are just an amzing person, Love the depth and dimension in this Fabulous video you showcased, so much to learn! I am from India!
Wow! You’re coloring is so beautiful! I love that flower! I love all flowers and that flower stamp I won from you, the Azalea, comes out so beautiful whenever I stamp it. I love all of my stamps but this one I think is one of my faves. It never stamps a bad image and when I color it, it looks so professional, kind of like what you just did. Some stamp companies carve out stamps and the images always stamp so clean and crisp. PSX was a great company for this but they have been out of business for a while. You can get some of their stamps on e-bay and I looked for them. One of the stamps because it was a limited addition I think they wanted $900! I love their stamps but I am not a Kardashian. I will have to check Eunji because I think her work is amazing!
You told us to tell you where we are from. I’m from CT in the Northwest Hills. That’s in the good old US of A for those who don’t know.
I can’t believe the challenge is over! Since I will still be creating as my foot is still broken, I will continue to send you things I have done. Thank you for bringing so much joy into my life. I’ve been so bummed out because of all the things I can’t do this summer with a broken foot that I am not thinking of all the things I can do and this coloring challenge is one of them. I can’t wait until the next one. I will be counting the days!
Wow, EunJi’s flowers are so gorgeous!!! Thanks for the chance to win one of her stamps. I’m in Colorado.
I’m EunJi’s big fan!
Love her gorgeous and delicate style!
Thank you for 30 days challenges!!!
I really love this challenge! I’m in Ottawa Canada
First of all, I love that book with the prints of EunJi. They are so beautiful. I wanted to let you know that your coloring was amazing, and I feel that it turned out just as gorgeous as hers was. You are so talented and I for one appreciate the time and effort you give to all of your fans. I loved your card. Keep up the wonderful work and sharing your art with all of us.
OMGGGG! This is like super stunning, Kathy. It looks like a digital portrait. Such AMAZING color blending! Thank you so much for the tutorial.
Thanks, Kathy! I live in beautiful NW Montana!
Wow your coloring is amazing Kathy and the stamp is gorgeous. I live in Malaysia. I follow Eun Ji too and adore her style. Thanks for the current challenge, I enjoyed it very much. The inspiration from you and everyone made me get my inks out and do some colouring. Have been in a rut the last year as I never really recovered from losing my kitty. This challenge made me stop moping and do things. And the surprising thing is I feel so much better for it. Thanks once again. Absolutely love Eun Ji’s stamps.
Oh! Feels kinds sad that it’s Day 30… as if we just started yesterday
Thank you so much for such a great experience – did it, love it, waiting for the next one!!! ^-^ Hugs!
p.s. I’m from Ukraine
I love this style of colouring – it looks fantastic. I am from New Zealand
Gorgeous colouring, Kathy. as wll as a gorgeous image! Will watch the video later today.
I’m originally from the province of Groningen in the Netherlands (up north) but my husband and I moved to Crete, Greece in 2008. One of my sisters is also visiting your blog and has been inspired by you and me to gather her colouring supplies and start colouring. She sent me a picture of her first art work and I was so impressed! Thank you for being such an inspiration to us all.
Warm hugs from Crete, Marianne x
Hi, I’m back again after watching your video. Love your story about letting your camera run when you you thiught it was off. Also love the idea of the colour key.
Marianne x
Kathy, your coloring is amazing! Love the color key!
I have been doing this challenge everyday and it has really helped me relax. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will definitely give myself permission (and not think of the household chores that I ought to do) to spend more time in my craft room after this. Thank you! ♥
I am from Sweden.
hello from Russia..
Very nice video. Thanks for sharing it with us..
Hi again from Guam, Kathy! I watched your video and looked at EunJi’s stamps! I loved your coloring rendition and the colored circles on the side of the card. Beautiful idea! I will try that myself! EunJi’s flowers are gorgeous! My friend is planning to visit Japan in a couple weeks. I wonder if EunJi’s stamps are available at the store she is going to buy more stamping supplies from. I will be sure to ask her to check for them. Lastly, again, thanks a million for the great 30-day Challenge. It was filled with incredible inspiration, ideas, and techniques! I look forward to your next one! OH! About the thumbs down situation, I am so GLAD you told those naysayers to not look at your videos!!!! They deserved the chastising and I support you 100%!!! Until next time…..
Hi from the Netherlands.
Thank you Kathy for all those amazing work you have done the passed 30 days.
I enjoyed it every day.
Your work is absolutly stunning and you inspired me a lot.
big hug
Annemarie
that peony is just gorgeous …. Thanks so much for such a fun-filled 30 days. I did not keep up as much as I wanted but I certainly was able to rest my eyes and many many beautiful creations 🙂 🙂 I am from the Lower Laurentians, about an hour north of Montreal in Canada 🙂
Wowza!! The colouring on this is absolutely stunning. I remember doing no line or ‘ghost stamping’ back in .. wow, it was 2008… and I think I went blind for 3 days after, lol. Amazing effect and worth the time it takes to do it.

Beautiful stamp and coloring! I had a blast with the 30 day! Thank you Kathy for doing this! I am a New Jersey girl!
oh wow, your colouring is AMAZING!!! Love the stamp, it’s so detailed. I’m from the UK – the East Yorkshire coast. 🙂
Hi. I’m from Las Vegas Nevada. Thank you so much for the inspiration. I really feel that over the last 30 days my creative has been renewed. I love your flower. I’m glad you stuck with it too because it is beautiful. I have an adult coloring book from the 1970’s that is all roses. I’ve been postponing coloring in it for just the right technique. I believe I have finally found it.
Hi, your coloring is AMAZING!!!Love the stamp. From Stony Plain, Alberta, Canada
Ther are so many talented people sharing their work. Thank you! This has been a relaxing and enjoyable way for me to spend some quiet time in my craft room. I live in SE Wisconsin. EunJi’s talent is mind blowing. I feel like I could smell the flowers she has colored (is that smellivision)!!
Absolutely stunning! What a beautiful card!
Thanks for hosting this challenge! It’s been so much fun! So glad I joined!
I live in Cleveland, Ohio. One of the 1.3 million that helped cheer on our CAVS 🙂
Hello! 🙂 I’m from Norway! Thank you so much for the encouragement this challenge is for everyone to colour a little bit every day. I have so enjoyed watching what a lot of people have been colouring this month, and I have been inspired to try quite a few new techniques. This has been so much fun. Thanks again!
Those flowers and that coloring is just amazing. I am from the USA.
Kathy,
You’re such an inspiration to me, and such an absolutely amazing artist!!! This card is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I have a flower stamp by Sizzix (a stamp and die set) that is similar to this, so I will have to try to recreate what you did!! The key word being try!!!
I live in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, USA. It is approximately 60 miles from Washington D.C.. However, Berkeley Springs is located at the state line where Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia meet. Our town has a lot of historical significance. We are known for our amazing spring water where George Washington took a bath. However, we also have a castle that you used to be able to tour through. We have a rich Civil War history through this area.
Please, if you are ever in the area, PLEASE let me know!! It would be an honor to meet you!!!
Thank you Kathy for these amazing 30 colouring days!!! A big hug from Italy. I’m Sicilian but I live in Florence.
I’m from Northwestern PA – it’s so interesting to see where everyone else is from!
Beautiful flower and coloring. Thanks so much for all the great tips and ideas. Your videos are always great. Thumbs UP to you from Tacoma,Washington.
WOWZA!!!! Stunning coloring job. I’m in awe of your talent. EunJi’s flowers are amazing. This is my first time seeing them. Thank you for the introduction…..and enabling!!!! LOL!!!
Hi Kathy,
Greetings from Belgrade, Serbia!

Thank you!

I have enjoyed this challenge and this last video was great – thanks for sharing it! I would never have guessed that you used orange and pink colored pencils on the petals so it was really helpful to watch you color!
Hi from Arizona! Your card is spectacular. Your coloring skills and creativity never cease to amaze me. Thank you for all the work you put into the 30 day challenges and motivating us all 🙂
So nice of you to share so much of your time, your talent, and your generosity with us. I love to watch you color, I always learn so much from your videos. I’m from Illinois. Thanks for the chance to win.
Wow your flower is stunning!
Hi from Northern Ireland – I always love to play along with your 30 day challenge but life got in the way this time, hopefully next time will be better 😉
Well done with your colouring, her style is just incredible and there is no way I could colour like her. I’ve been following her for a while and was always amazed that she carved her own stamps…who does that?? She is amazing and I’m so glad she is being discovered by everyone. Oh and I’m from very chilly and dreary New Zealand, well its like that today…..yuck but good for card making!!! And well done Kathy, the last 30 days have been a blast!! Mwah!
This coloring is the best ever! She certainly does have beautiful stamps. Thanks for the video and inspiration.
Sorry – I didn’t say I am from Arkansas.
What fun this has been to see all of the creations! Living in Peoria IL, born in St Louis MO…
Hey Kathy, Upstate New York here. I have done all the Color challenges with you, and have been having so much fun, Someway, Somehow, If it kills me I am going to figure out how to upload and share to that inlink by your next Challenge. It is so fun to challenge myself everyday but I do wish that once in a while I would like to share some of them. It is so much fun seeing what everyone is coloring. I love watching and learning from your videos, that is my favorite part of this !! And I love the unedited ones, when you make us laugh. Anyone who would give you a thumbs down is a ________. Well, I can’t say it online cuz I am a lady, lol. You ROCK GIRL !!!!!!! Your talent AMAZES ME !! That flower is Unbelievable!!!
Thanks so much for the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I love seeing your work! I’m from Mechanicsburg, PA.
I’m from suburban Chicago. These stamps are…..AMAZING!!!! I am so appreciative of your colored pencil perseverance! I must use mine more!! Thank you for all you do!! You INSPIRE me!
Absolutely gorgeous! Such amazing talent!
I have been a long time fan and follower, but unfortunately, don’t always have time to leave a comment, but this time I just had to! I love your art, but this flower is one of my all time favorites. I also agree with you about our special crafting community. While I do not know anyone in this mega blogosphere, when I have asked a question, or asked for assistance I have been bombarded with help by tons of generous people who are willing to share tips, tricks, etc. So I truly do not understand why people want to thumbs down your videos and all I can say is they are just jealous of your immense talent. I dream of being able to color in all the different mediums and I will get there one day! 😉 Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us and inspiring all of us. Kim in Texas
WOW! I am actually speechless……. So incredible. I am from Michigan. 😀
You are absolutely right about the separation anxiety, I feel kind of lost now, Lol. Thanks Kathy!!!!
I am from Venezuela 😉
Thank you, Kathy, for the whole month of encouragement! I colored so much more than I usually do, and have a stack of fun cards to give away ♥ This lady Bee is exquisitely talented – I love her peony!!! And thank you for all the videos, comments on our uploads, all the time you devote to this month long project! All my best with aloha!
I live in a western suburb of Chicago, Illinois. I love the 30 day challenge.
Oh, my goodness, your card is OVER THE TOP INCREDIBLE!!! I was raised and started my adult life in WV. I moved to FL and lived there for 25 years; loved it, didn’t want to leave. My daughter and family left FL with our pride and joy – granddaughter. We followed them to Atlanta.
Hi Kathy, thank you so much for your blog and videos throughout this 30 day challenge. I have loved watching your designs come to life and it has inspired me to do some colouring, something I never did before. I love this peony stamp and how you coloured it, and also the colour code down the side. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful work. Happy days and colouring from Perth, Western Australia

Beautiful colouring as always Kathy! I’m from New Zealand where it’s really cold at present 🙂

Hope to take part of in the challenge next time.

Beautiful flowers and fabulous coloring! I’m originally from Michigan, but now I live in Utah!
I`ve just started to do more with coloring and layering.I`m looking at different ways to do cards and coloring.Love the flowers and other things.I live in Central Oregon.Love it here with the mountains and forest,and even the desert we have it all.
I live in Alaska and have for almost 30 years but I’m originally from Arizona, believe it or not!
Born, raised and still living in Oregon. Can’t beat the 1 hour drives in different directions to the beach, the Cascades, the high desert, the bigger cities or small haunted towns, waterfalls, spectacular hiking trails, the amazing Columbia River Gorge, just about whatever you want. I had other things going on, but hope to pick up the challenge one of these days as things settle down. You didn’t say it HAD to be in a specific 30 day period, did you? 😉 PS: Love the peonies and my eye went right to the circle edging. Lovely, as always.
Wow stunning stamps & book is gorgeous! Thx so much for the giveaway!!
I live in Colorado but grew up in a small village in the south of France, in Provence. I look forward to your coloring challenge each time and so appreciate and admire all your hard work, dedication and of course your beautiful creations!! Thanks again, Kathy…you rock!
Hi Kathy, your flower is gorgeous – I just love it and would put it in a frame and hang it on the wall where I could look at it – beautiful! It’s such a clever idea to do the little circles of color – really cool!! I grew up in Connecticut and now live in New Hampshire and just love it here! I can’t imagine anyone giving you negative feedback – they must be jealous of your considerable talent! Just keep doing and sharing and I can’t wait to see what is next and I’m sure it will be great! Thanks so much – hugs to you!!
Oh this is just stunning. Thank you for a fun month and all your kind words about my work on Instagram.
Thanks for all the great color challenges. I’m from Iowa but live in NM now!
Kathy, the flower that you colored is So, So beautiful! You did a wonderful job coloring it! Thank you for sharing these stamps and the idea about the color key. Endless thanks for your time and inspiration! I have spent all of my life in California in the SF Bay area. No better place to live!
The challenge has been such fun Kathy and that flower is absolutely beautiful and so inspiring to watch you do it. Thank you. x
Your coloring is simply gorgeous. The blending is so beautiful. I love watching your videos and I get great tips from every one you make. I am from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Love this flower, both you and EunJi Jung have made a beautiful job of colouring…so realistic. I’m from Ayrshire, Scotland and enjoy your videos so much.
Oh MY! That is absolutely gorgeous. It may have taken quite a while, but it was so worth it. You did a beautiful job and although it isn’t the same, I think it is just as beautiful as the picture in the book.
As for those thumbs down people, ignore them. I’m sure they are just someone floating through being nasty. Probably don’t even do any kind of art work.
I love that idea of the color key on the card. Thanks for all the fun and inspiration.
I have just discovered your blog Kathy and am loving it! this video really inspires me. I have hardly any natural artistic ability and am slooowwly, (!) learning through the generosity of people like yourself who make videos like this showing technique and the colours you use. I love this range of stamps also. so sorry to hear about the negative people who feel they have to try and spoil everyone else’s pleasure, just know the rest of us are loving your work and appreciating you!!
Kathy, these are such adorable, beautiful and fun cards. I love watercolor and these are so inspiring 🙂 Thank you for sharing your amazing gift of coloring.
I love love love these super bright watercolor panels and those mini cards are beyond adorable!!!
Thanks for such fabulous inspiration!
I have enjoyed this month so much have not be able to follow every day due to a death in the family but when I could get a little time I enjoyed the distraction. I am from ND
There’s times in cardmaking where you bump into that special person who pulls out your inner child.Coloring always makes me feel that way and it’s fantastic . I live in Largo,Florida .
I’d like to say this is a breathtaking card . It’s so lifelike . Thank you for another amazing challenge . I can’t wait til the next.BTW I think my most favorite this challenge was so many more children . It’s beautiful .
Absolutely fabulous! Your technique is fantastic! And those botanicals are just stunning!
Lovely coloring! I’m from Argentina.
I know I am really late on this, but as you know I was on holiday, I just didn’t get the time to watch the video and I really wanted to watch itand devour it properly! Kathy, I would never believe you don’t colour much with pencils, this is truly amazing. All those little extras that you added are so impactful (the bright red and extra orange), just beautiful. It was really interesting to hear you talk about how you tend to make each petal look the same when you colour, as I do exactly that, and of course, in real life this is just not the case, but it’s hard to stop doing that. You did an amazing job on this card, what an absolute knockout it is. Thank you once again for the challenge, all your hard hard work and lovely comments. I know you say it’s us that makes it but you give up so much of your time for us, and that is so special. Hugs, Lisa xx
Absolutely beautiful! Make me want to pick up my coloured pencils again! Thanks so much for sharing!!
