Hello Friends, Hows it going? For Day 25. I have a quick post 🙂
This card set was easy to finish up but, required some time. On Day 11. I watercolored these cards  with the stamp set called, “Funny Food“…. the sayings & images are soooo F.U.N.  I was determined to finish them.
I added a few grey halos around each image with some copic markers …then four layers of glossy accents.
After the second layer of glossy accents you need to give the glossy accents a full night to dry after each layer … so it takes several nights lol … patience right. The texture is delicious and oh so lovely but so worth the extra time you need to give them to dry.
I love Tim Holtz bright white watercolor paper. To get the cards to stand up I cut the tip (from the die cut) off the back of the card so it’s straight and flat and will not rock on the table.
I shared this vidoe on Instagram and thought some of you might want to see it? It’s super short like 30 seconds.
Sunday I will be back for a loaded blog hop with $500.00 worth of giveaways! See you then … Hugs, Kathy

:o) Love these, Kathy!!! So pretty and glossy. :o) Love the short video too. I like watching you coloring and adding details to your colored images. :o) Have a wonderful day!! :o) xx
Thanks so much Milka. Appreciate the feedback on my videos.
Fun food set! Amazing how much just a little bit of colored pencil work adds to the image, really sets it off and makes it POP.
These turned out really cute. Love the dimension the GA adds.
I’m so addicted to glossy accents! LOL
These are sooooooo cute, Kathy! I love all the dimension from the Glossy Accents. I don’t think I’ve ever added more than one layer so I have to try this now! I enjoyed the short video too – great close-up of your pencil colouring and very helpful, thank you!!!
Thanks so much, Kitty. 🙂
Love how three dimensional these items look!
Thats what a heavy layer of glossy accents will do. Highly recommend you trying it out! 🙂
That is a lotta gloss! You can never have too much shimmer or glossy shine in my opinion! Can’t wait to see what tomorrow’s hop is all about! I know it will be fun and inspirational! See you then!
WOW what a great set of cards. Love the layers of GA on them, really makes a huge impact on the finished cards.
Thanks for sharing the IG video, I am not very good on IG yet, still haven’t figured out how to use it. LOL (Oh to be older and learning new things…HAHA)
LOL. I love IG. Once you have it figured out, it is easy peasy. FB is where I struggle. LOL 🙂
I love using Glossy Accents. Great on eyes and healthy critter noses! It really looks super on your cards.
So fun with the layers of Glossy Accents, Kathy! Just love those little food images!!
These are fabulous! The glossy accents really added dimension.
wow–4 coats of glossy accents!
Love these, they could almost be place cards for a dinner table! Thank you for you video too!
great cards!
I ordered that food stamp set. Just got the other day.. It’s one that I stamped but not colored yet. I like the layers of glossy. Makes a difference.
The video plays for 30 sec. then stops and goes back to beginning. I don’t know if that is what it’s suppose to do.
Yup, just a quick video today.
Glossy accents adds so much to a simple card!
thats amazng!
love it!
So so so so so so so ADORABLE!
these are so cute, I have loved everything that you have made, so inspirational
That Stamp Set is just too adorable Kathy! It is on my list. I am trying to resist temptation and wait until the end of the challenge to buy but am compiling a list as we go along LOL. Your card set is so sweet and the grey halo and glossy accents make your beautiful colouring come to life 🙂 xo
Compiling a list is such a great idea!
I don’t know if I’d have the patience to wait 4 days for each layer of GA to finishing drying, but I am good about setting things aside “to finish later.” 😉 I really liked the close up of the shading with the pencils. Lovely work, as always.
The glossy accents actually dries quite quickly. Instead of applying a heaping amount to begin with, if you apply a small amount, then let dry for 10-20min before re-applying it can be done much faster. 🙂
I only ever do a maximum of 2 layers of glossy accents. I am so impatient! But these look great, so I will change the habit of a lifetime and give it a go
Wonderful cards, love them. Cant imagine being that patient and adding all those layers of glossy accents. You are a marvel.
Never would have thought to use FOUR layers of glossy accents! Wish I could see these in person! Guess I’ll have to give it a go 😀
These are to cute but….with me on a diet and yes doing very well….lost 33 lbs so far. These stamps would send me into a craving attack lol.
So fun! Thanks for the Glossy Accents tips!!
I love glossy accents just so pretty the first time I saw it I called a girlfriend who had used it and said what is that I had to have it! BTW…hello Kathy
Adorable!!! I am not patient when it comes to the use of glossy accents but that’s usually cause I’m right on my deadline and don’t have 2 or 3 days to let it set. I agree its worth the wait though :o).
