Just a little coloring right before this post. The blending solution with a rag give me that automatic texture. Some colored dots and some wink of stella accents and that’s about it.  There is so much I want to do like fussy cut some leaves and pop a few flowers … and … and…

GIVEAWAY: Pink & Main is offering a $25.00 gift certificate to their store. Yes Please! Thanks to Pink & Main. To quality to win just say hi in the comment area. 🙂

    Hi! Hi! Hi! HI! You used blending solution and a rag to get that pointillism effect? Will you show us in a video how you did that? Hugs.

  15. Linda S in NE says

    Hi Kathy. So glad you are feeling better. You deserve it. This is a new company to me, as well. To tell the truth, I still love all my favorite companies, but at the same time, some new faces are welcome in my world. Thanks for the introduction.

  16. Heather Lynn says

    Great coloring as always. That bear could be used in so many ways on a card. That owl looks amazing too! Thanks for sharing!

  17. Susan G says

    HI!!! That little critters set is so darn cute. Love the “rag-texture” technique. I use it all the time. Thanks for the great idea.

    Hi Kathy! That stamp set is cute and love the way you colored the bear!! Hope you have a great day and are feeling better! 🙂

  34. Lisa Tilson says

    Hi Kathy! Happy Friyay to you 🙂
    That’s so weird, I was eyeing up a Pink & Main stamp set only this morning, and then this afternoon, they they are! Lovely sweet colouring on your bear, especially the eyeshadow – LOVE!!!! Adorable!

  35. Sheri K says

    Wow super cute little bear! I have to say, no coloring yesterday, but I did finish a card for a neighbor’s BD. Hope you are having a fabulous holiday with your daughter!

  37. Nancy R. says

    Super cute and I love the blue eyeshadow! Thank for sharing all of your wonderful inspiration and talent with us.

  38. bev p says

    Hi! I hope you are feeling way better and had a wonderful day yesterday! And I do seem to remember that someone once told me, “just color a little every day!” It’s ok for you to do “just a little” even during your 30 day challenge. We can wait for the “just one more thing” and the finished card or tag or maybe this was all it’s ever going to be. (I have a whole notebook full of “trial runs”!)

  46. Marianne says

    So sweet! Also love the look of the fox stamp that is included in this particular set, especially since my last name translates as ‘fox’ into English.
    Hugs, Marianne x

  47. Denise Potter says

    You are right! These critters are really cute and the stamp company is new to me as well. I’ll be checking them out right after I finish typing. Thanks for the tip. (Of course, love your colored version of the bear as always.)

    Hi! I love the Sentiment “Wild About You” and that foxy fox and adorable, long eye-lashed, flirty, feminine bear! I would be so happy to receive your give-away prize on Kathy Racoosin’s 30 Day Coloring Challenge! My husband loves to hike through the woods. I love to make him cards with animals like the bear for him to read with that great sentiment when he is sleeping overnight with real black bears in Central Florida just several feet away from him! Thank you for your generosity!

    He IS Able!
