Hello Friends, How are you? I wanted to let you know how much I am enjoying your coloring and you all inspire me!!! … On another note I hope you aren’t disappointed but, next Sunday I will have the “It’s All About You Feature”… not this Sunday. I hope you all understand 🙂
Amy Tangerine is a beautiful soul and she just came out with some fun sentiments! Love them! I thought it would be a great opportunity to show you a fun way to use some from your stash.
I did a little color blocking with my markers and added white accents and stitching. I put a layer of vellum on top, stamped another sentiment on vellum and backed it with white cardstock. I cut a banner and popped it on my card base. I had to color another trio of holly to add to my sentiment banner.
It really is super simple to color some squares. Just stamp a bunch of sentiments and I find the misti makes it super simple.
Absolutely no shading today and a quick post too. Enjoy your Sunday and I will see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

So fun!! I do enjoy color blocking. Sometimes I feel too stressful trying to get the right shadow and shading.
This is a cool technique. And the stamp sets are awesome. I’ll have to try this using what I have till the stamps become available. Thanks Kathy!!!!
Such a cute card – perfect to make very personal messages using your own handwriting.
Great idea! Very personal. Enjoy finding time for you. 🙂
Kathy, this is a really FUN idea, and I love the card with the vellum on top. Beautifully done, and now you’ve got my brain thinking…hehe! I need a mojo-jump, and that’s a good thing! Thanks again…hugs!
Rock the mojo. You’re so welcome. 🙂
Enjoyed the color blocked sentiments. Thanks!
Fabulous Kathy! I LOVE it!
Oh my! What a great way to use all those gorgeous sentiments! Love this!
Love the verse on this card!!!
Fun idea Kathy. Your imagination is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
So beautiful! x
This is a fabulous card! Love this idea and hope to try it!
Another great project for me to try. I like how the vellum helps the viewer to focus on the sentiment yet allowing the enjoyment of the fun background. Well done as usual.
I am learning but still find it hard to come up with ideas for cards. I start coloring something but then don’t know how to add objects to make it complete maybe someday you can help me out with this through some challenges. Nice card and looks very easy and quick, thanks Kathy for each day you have this challenge it give me something to look forward to each day.
Oooh fab card Kathy, I love how you coloured your base panel 🙂
What a fun technique Kathy! Thanks for taking the time out of your busy day and retreat to still get a post and some great inspiration up 🙂 You rock
Awww thanks. You rock too 🙂
Thank you for one more inspiration card Kathy! I have been experimenting with my own lettering (also inspired by Amy Tangerine) so maybe I should dare to CASE your card but with my own handwriting. ..
Xoxo Olga
Absolutely! Go for it. Lovely idea. 🙂
love this card! truly charming:_
it was suppose to be a smiley face…;)
love yor card!
Cute sentiment. I like the color blocking and the vellum panel.
What a clever idea for a card. Yours is awesome. I love how you used the gel pen on the vellum.
Fabulous inspiration again, Kathy!!!! Love your idea!
WOW! That is so cool! Why can’t I ever think to use my stamps in ways like this? So creative. TFS.
love the color blocking with sentiments. . .inspirational!
That is so cool Kathy. I have never done colour blocking! Must try it…
Oh, wow!!! I sooo love your idea! Brilliant!
I am the queen of sentiments. In fact, there are 3 that I have that are my faves. One says “I made this card for you. I hope it makes you smile for weeks”. I usually put it on the back of my cards but I wonder if people even read the backs of cards? I think I might find a way to put it in the card in the corner somewhere. I hope my cards do make people smile but when I saw that along with a whole bunch of other sentiments that I knew I would use, I had to buy the set. Don’t you just love what that says?
My second is a crown that says underneath “If it were Hallmark it wouldn’t look this good.” I’ve had that one for years and I think it’s funny, and yes, I make cards as good or better then Hallmark! LOL
My third is the most beautiful one of all. I give you permission to get all misty eyed when you read this one because I do all the time. I just look at it and it puts me in a good mood. Can you imagine if everyone thought like this? It says “Wishing you daffodil days, butterfly breezes and bunny soft smiles to fill your heart with love.” How can you not smile and forget your troubles when you read that one?
My mom buys Hallmark cards, yes even though I make them she buys them and she buys them just for the sentiment! The front of the card comes second. That’s why I need more sentiments. With the right sentiment my mom will buy the card from me and not Hallmark.
I love your card and how you used Velum over the front. Your sentiments are so nice looking, just like your whole card. It’s very pretty. Someone is going to love that card!
Can’t wait to see what you come up with tomorrow. I have been making Christmas cards like crazy! I’ve gotten new stamps, old stamps and coloring pages for Christmas. The way I’m going I will be making Christmas cards into July! LOL
Fabulous inspiration. Thank you. 🙂
I think I will get a bunch of sentiment stamps together with no regard for focusing on just Christmas or birthday, or thing of you, etc. — just for all sorts of occasions — do like you did, and then have the inside say “Happy Everything!” You’re never without a card for any occasion! BTW, love the touch of vellum.
OK to delete this one. I made a mistake and hit post comment a second time with the word fixed. I don’t see a way to delete it myself.
Wonderul idea. Enjoy. 🙂

Wow! I love this idea! it’s great for my Christmas cards! I think I will give it a try. Thanks!
Great way to use sentiment stamps.
Just another fabulous idea!
Love this idea, Kathy! Thanks for inspiration!
that is a cool idea!
I really like this technique!!! Can’t wait to try it out!
Great card!
Thanks! This is an idea I haven’t tried yet. Thanks for the inspiration!
What a fun card, which I would never have thought of in a million years to do so THANK YOU ONE AGAIN for the inspiration!!
Hi Kathy!
I have never tried color blocking. Are there any rules about when or how to do it? Can you only use it on sections of words? It seems like it would be a quick way to whip up some cards when you need a set for a gift set!
Oh! I LOVE vellum, too! You seem to find so many uses for it! I have been trying to find light or dark purple vellum 18 — 8 &1/2×11″ sheets to finish off my wedding album from 17 and a half years ago! On each page of the album, i put purple vellum in an area, and wrote the words from our personally written ceremony that went with that particular photo on it in white. I am about 3/4ths done, and don’t want to change my layout now! I can’t find that color anywhere! Any idea how to dye it so lines don’t show through?
Thank you so much for thinking about this! I’d like to finish it before our 20th Anniversary at the latest! Yikes!
I’m loving your color challenge!
He-IS-Able!

I’d google purple vellum and I’m sure you’ll find some. Off hand I don’t know a source since I’ve only used clear. No rules to blocking sentiments. It’s all up to your imagination. Enjoy the experiment 🙂
I have never used vellum on a card before…i will have to give it a try! Thanks for the inspiration!!!!
I’m loving the quick/easy tech tips. I feel like I’m being dragged through cement and mud right now, so will stick with eeeazeeee ♥ You picked a very good time for us to color and take our minds off things out of our control.
LOVE the sentiment panel and how you have colour-blocked it, LOVE the MAGIC the vellum layer adds too!!!
