Hellllooooo friends, How are you today? OMG tomorrow is day 30 and I am feeling a little sick about that. I hope I have time to make something special for you but, it’s a crazy day …. eek!!
Today I reached for my Daniel Smith watercolors again. I am determined.
Today’s beautiful flower stamps are from Kennedy Grace Creations & they have lots of other beautiful stamps. In my opinion you can never have enough flower stamps. Check out their store here & their blog here.
During my watercoloring tonight I was baking a 2 layer cake from scratch….
Getting the background down first is critical I think.
While the cake was in the over I painted the flowers. Love the size and shape of these flowers. Soo lovely and how about that sentiment.
While the cake was cooling I stuck these flowers in the oven to dry my paper hahah. The oven at this point was just warm and it worked like a charm. My paper was dry so I took a sharpie and outlined everything and drew a thick boarder around the flowers so they would stand out more…. plus it’s relaxing 🙂
Using a white gel pen really makes the colors pop. You know how much I love adding white dots. That’s if for today. Time for the ….
GIVEAWAY!! TWO $15.00 gift cards to the Kennedy Grace Creations store. Thank You Kennedy Grace 🙂
To qualify to win just say “flowerpower” in the comment area. I will announce a random winner soon at the end of the challenge.
Have a great day and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

Love the flowers. I just purchased these paints and just pray I can do as well as you. By the way Kathy how do we know if we have won anything from your giveaways? I think you need to do a 45 day coloring challenge instead of 30 because we aren’t ready for it to be over. lol
A perfect example of FlowerPower! Hope your cake turned out just as fabulous!

Gorgeous card!!
Flower power! Stunning watercoloring.
Flowerpower. I also watercolored some flowers for a birthday card, but I already mailed it, so I can’t show you. It was pastel around the arrangement, but the flowers were vibrant. Your colors are great. I will have to try darker colors next time for the background.

One day I will color like this…..like I said One Day.
Flower power! You make entering so easy it feels like a cheat. Beautiful colouring Kathy – I think Kennedy Grace does some of the most beautiful flower images around, they are stunning. And I totally agree, you can never have enough. I think I do, and then I see another one and I have to get it haha! One day soon I hope to pick up one from Kennedy Grace. I did literally laugh out loud when you put your colouring in the oven. I am glad it wasn’t too hot as we may never have seen it in it’s full glory 🙂 xx

So beautiful…and love the oven idea…now I can tell people I’m baking when I’m really crafting…lol
Flower power, indeed. I am old enough to remember when that was “the” slogan, even though I was way too geeky to be a hippie! These are lovely, and cake too!! Now I am way impressed. I have never been able to multitask. Even with a buzzer, If I am crafting, I cannot seem to respond until the smell of burning food penetrates my consciousness! Thanks for this month. Now, go and rest. You made something lovely for the last day, Well done!
Super flower power. You did them so beautifully. 🙂
Kathy, Oh my gosh! this is fabulous. I am having trouble figuring out why you think you are not good at watercoloring. You are fabulous. I love the deep background colors and the roses are to die for. I LOVE your dots!!! hugs, treen
Flower power!!!!!!!! Hi Kathy!
Looks great kathy! Flower Power! 😉
Flower POWER!!! (beautiful!)
flower power! love your card! so pretty!
Flower Power
Flowerpower!! These are gorgeous Kathy!
flowerpower
Flowerpower!
FLOWER POWER!!! Flowers to the people, too! ; )
Kathy this is delightful! I am curious, did you emboss the image before you painted it? I am curious how you see where to draw the black lines when you use such deep colors as in that deep purple for example. Can you still see the lines if they are not embossed? And, do you ever emboss–even with lighter colors, and can you emboss and then use your black pen and go over the powder, or does it ruin the pen?
I can not believe tomorrow is the last day of your absolutely amazing and beautifully managed 30 Day Coloring Challenge! I am saddened that it’s ending, but know December will keep me more than busy! I wonder if we will still have access to the FB page with everyone’s art on display. I know i didn’t have a chance to see all of it.
Kathy, thank you for all of the beauty you have shared with us. And, even more for all you have taught me. I will be following you after this challenge and continue to cheer you on as I try so many new techniques! God bless you and yours, Kathy!
He IS Able!

FLOWER POWER! What a pretty card! I so love how you add the extra details to your cards with the sharpie and white gel pen! I can’t believe tomorrow is Day 30! I have had so much fun doing this challenge for the first time! I’m going to make it! Yeah! 1 more day to go…but then it will feel weird not making myself color every night…hopefully I can continue to color on a regular basis (at least 4 nights a week…that is my plan. LOL!) Thanks again Kathy for this great challenge!

Flowerpower! love how you were multi-tasking and used the oven to dry the paper!
“flowerpower”
Flower Power. Wow this is gorgeous!
Flower Power … Love this stamp and the colors you used. Simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I have been a flower power person since the 60s when I wanted to be a hippie. I’m glad I wasn’t one. However, I am a flower lover. I wish there was a way to stamp flowers and put them in your yard, like on wood or something. Those mutant ninja squirrels that are ruining our yard and flowers and garden couldn’t do that to my flowers. They wouldn’t have to be watered and they wouldn’t die and I could say that I created them. I wish I could make my garden a reality. I would put your beautiful card out front and center. I love how you colored that flower. Everything is so colorful but where’s the yellow? There’s no yellow! I need my daily dose of yellow! LOL I love how you used the oven to dry the paper but I wonder if you could have used you’re embossing gun? I’d worry about the paper catching fire. You really know how to color flowers! Flower Power forever!
I love that there is also a giveaway and I hope I win something. I love flowers!
Flower power!
