Day 28. No Line Coloring – Giveaway

Helllooooo Friends, Ack it’s Day 28 and depending on when you get this I might still be working on my post. If you look at my post in  your inbox click here later for an update and video. (These last few days I really am making a big effort to give you more … hence more time required) I know you all are patient so I am a grateful.

No Line coloring can be easy and I hope my video will prove that. If you subscribe to my videos you will get it in your video feed. Ok…whew! Now how about this stamp isn’t it a beauty …it’s from Gina K Designs called, “Sending Love” . I stamped the image with a pastel ink and then colored the background with a copic marker B97.

The most important thing I have discovered is a sharp tip and to have an antique bowl for your shaving .. just kidding but, I do love mine.

During the last coloring challenge I colored these sweet stamps from Krumspring. I thought I would share again since I have a giveaway. She has such great stamps and is so inspiring.

GIVEAWAY! Woo Hoo a $25.oo gift certificate to the Krumspring Stamp Store. To quality just say hello in the comment area. A random winner will be announced a few days after the challenge.

Be back soon. Hugs, Kathy

    Hello! Today’s card is breathtaking! I had to stop for a moment to drink it in before I could focus on your words!
    Would be honored to win the Krumspring go. I checked them out last time and fell in love with a few of their stamps! TFS!

  3. Denise S says

    I love the cards you create and with stamps, I could try and recreate similar art pieces. Amazing!

  10. Sherianne Buehler says

    Hello and thanks again for sparking my creativity with the coloring challenge!

  17. Barb says

    Love the Gina K stamp, which I have. I did mine in yellow with zig markers. Just love your version and need to try it. I would love to win the gift certificate from Krumspring. Can’t wait to see the video.

  27. Anne Sturgeon says

    Love Gina K designs, but am not familiar with Krumspring. Both are gorgeous. You really create magic with your pencils Kathy. Thanks for sharing and for a chance on this generous prize.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Krumspring is a new, overseas company. Check them out on IG. They have a love for triangles and make awesome stamps!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Thank you, Kerry. I appreciate feedback on my videos as sometimes I am hesitant to share!

  30. Mirella ROGAN says

    Those daffodils are breathtaking, I love your colouring!
    I have also been a big fan of Maria’s stamps from the very beginning of her adventure as a stamp designer, and a voucher to her shop would be absolutely fantastic! 🙂 Thanks for the chance to win!
    HELLO! 😉

  31. Dianne Crowe says

    Wow absolutely beautiful. worth the trip to your web site. Must go find your video.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      They are awesome! Check out Krumspring and Gina K on IG- they have amazing feeds!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      No water coloring today. The blue background was done with Copic, alcohol markers. The flowers were colored with colored pencils.

  35. Marian says

    Hello and thank you for sharing the beautiful card/coloring. Can’t wait to see the video.
    You are very talented.

  38. Jean Chaney says

    Hello, Kathy! I love the background in Copic and then the soft image in pencils. You certainly do have generous sponsors with super products!

  39. Angela W says

    Thank you for the video on no-line coloring! I haven’t been brave enough to try it yet, but I am getting closer and closer to giving it a whirl!!

  41. Miranda Taylor says

    I think your flowers are probably my favorite to see come to life under your pencils! So beautiful! Thank you for always taking the time to show us how you do it.

      You’re welcome, Miranda. Thank you for being a loyal follower and supporter of me and The Daily Marker.

  43. Becky P. says

    Beautiful card. I have this stamp set from Gina K. and love it. Thanks for sharing and for giving us the opportunity to win a Krumspring gift certificate. Very cool images.

  44. Linda Patti says

    Hello! Great video? Do you ever use a colorless pencil to blend colors of your pencils?

  45. jane harrah says

    That coloring is beautiful and looks quite daunting. The bakground is great also! Nice Work!! Thanks for sharing.

  47. Nicole says

    I can’t believe it’s almost the end of the challenge!! I can’t tell you how much I look forward to your posts arriving in my email box Kathy, you are so inspiring and I have learned so much from you over all of these challenges. This card, as all of your work, is so beautiful. I’m headed up to visit my folks in Charlottesville next week and I’ve been telling my mom, who is just beginning to color, all about you and I can’t wait to show her some of the videos!!
    Maybe in the next challenge, or just a regular blog post, would you do some more with the stamp and die set that you created a few years ago with the sweet little terrariums and succulents, and I think there might have been a gnome?

  50. Becky Green says

    STUNNING WORK AGAIN, KATHY!!!! I LOOOOVE this! I was thinking as you colored this, that the flowers in the blue, look fairy-ish! And like they are in the moonlight! JUST GORGEOUS! You have inspired me to try new techniques this coloring challenge! And my husband & I like “realistic” art too. LOL So, I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND what you are saying, AND YES, YOU ARE GREAT at what you do! 😉 I also wanted to tell you, I was so engrossed in watching you color, that I caught myself blowing away your coloring shavings. LOL That is what I do when coloring with Colored Pencils, rather than wiping them away. AND just one other thing, Faber Castell Colored Pencils- they are not only oil based- good for blending, but the leads are GLUED IN the length of the pencil, so you don’t end up with the leads breaking. 😉
    CAN’T WAIT to see your water coloring video!!! 😉

  52. Donna Dacy says

    Hello Kathy. Your project today is beautiful. I always enjoy watching your 30 Day Challenge as you really have some lovely projects. Thanks for sharing your love of coloring. I love to color too but just don’t have much time right now. Have a lovely day.

  55. BeverlyBL says

    Another beautiful card. I haven’t kept up every day but will go back and watch. You always have such pretty work and lots of tips. I enjoy your 30 day challenges so much. Thank you for continuing the series!

  57. Pooja says

    Hello Kathy ! I loved the no line coloring on your card,taking inspiration from the triangle/polygon look I did few cards ,one being in green !

  60. Lynne in NI says

    Ooooh beautiful colouring! Love your flamingos too, I haven’t heard of that brand before but they’ve some fab stamps (I’ve my eye on the ‘Up’ house and balloons set!)

  62. Patt H. says

    Such a gorgeous Flowers, Kathy! Love your awesome coloring! The Krunspring tree is beautiful. Love them both!

  63. bev p says

    I hate being out of town and typing on my phone! But this is just amazing and I wanted you to know. I accidentally hit something and got to Gina K ‘s site and found out this stamp set is sold out. Boo, hiss Thanks for agreat challenge. I am going to sit on the porch and use my new pencil sharpener!

  68. Andrea (doppeltsolustig) says

    Your card is beautiful as always 🙂 I just love your style! You always put so much love into your coloring and pay attention to all those little details <3

    I think I learned about Krumspring stamps from one of your videos, and instantly fell in love with them! You know, I keep seeing "hidden" animals and flowers in them 😉 I must have used that background triangle stamp a gazillion times already, and I'm not done with it yet ;-D

  70. Randi Marquez says

    Hello Kathy! I really enjoy your 30 day challenges, thank you so much, maybe next time i will have time for the kids and i to participate. I tried last time but couldn’t upload and now it is tax season and no time for me! I REALLY love the flamingo and Christmas tree, beautiful coloring! Love the video!

  74. Dawn@Petals.Paper.SimpleThymes says

    Oh, Kathy! I could watch and listen as you color for hours and hours! So glad that you are sharing your colored pencil skills with us. I will be mindful of the nooks and crannies from now on! 🙂 Although I haven’t been posting my coloring during this Challenge, it feels so wonderful to be practicing with my Prismacolors and watercolors. Hope you can feel all of the gratitude that we are sending… from the bottom of our hearts! Thank you for all that you do and share, dear Kathy! ♡

  76. Beth Anne says

    You have gifted us with another amazingly beautiful work of art…thank you so much! And thank you for the opportunity to watch you work and hear your thought process as you create. And yes, you ARE an awesome communicator…:)

  78. Kathy says

    Oh my gosh, Kathy! How could it get any better! Love the daffodils but I especially enjoy your impromptu way of delivering your videos. You don’t need to sound like a professional movie narrator. The reason we love you is because you are so real and natural. Love the card and love you!

  79. Carla Hundley says

    Such beautiful coloring
    and you make it look so
    easy! Love seeing all
    your cards.

  82. Elayne Howard says

    I have loved going through this month with you. This card is beautiful. I was especially intrigued by the background and love the texture it brings to the card–a nice soft background for those beautiful flowers.

  87. AnnB says

    Hello Kathy! Don’t think my comment went through first time-I love your colouring of this beautiful image.TFS.xx

  90. Lindar C says

    Hello! Beautiful card. Love that you share all your thoughts during your videos, it’s encouraging to me.

  91. Vickey E. says

    Hello! Kathy, your card is beautiful! You are such an inspiration. And I’ve seen Krumspring lately, but I don’t have any of their stamps. I’m going to look them up though, they look verrrry interesting.

  92. karen farris says

    Hello Kathy! Thank you for all the encouragement for the coloring challenge.
    You’re a peach!

  96. Carolyn Carter says

    Kathy,
    Your first card, the blue one is just drop dead gorgeous! Beautiful coloring!!

  98. Melissa friedrich says

    Hi Kathy, really loving your coloring and trying to do some of my own! Thanks for your wonderful tips and inspiration.

  101. Dar says

    The no line makes it so realistic and it is a beautiful card. Love to watch the flowers come alive.

  107. Bobbie says

    Wow Kathy, I love the flowers you do, I have been practicing but still need a lot of work. You keep telling us thank you for following you and joining the challenge but to be honest it is us that are very thankful that you take the time to encourage us to color each day and to help us learn to relax in our hectic days. So Thank You.

  108. Barbara Green says

    This card is breathtakingly gorgeous. I printed a large flower similar the other day and this is a great incentive. Perfect timing for this card and simply gorgeous.

  109. Sheri K says

    Halllooooo Kathy! I can’t believe it’s 28 days already–I’m still working away on my calendar page. Love your project for today.

    Hello Kathy! Yahoo a gift certificate! Thanks for the inspiration and for the opportunity to win!

  121. Moira OReilly says

    Such stunning cards Kathy! Off to watch your video and swoon a little more :). You are so very talented and generous with your inspiration. Thank-you

  127. Aileen Ryan says

    I love no line colouring and you always ace it Kathy. Another stunning creation. Im not a big fan of Daffodils but boy you made me want to go get a stamp, so pretty.
    I would love to win some stamps From Krumspring, they are on my list of to try stamps.

  131. Margie Fulcher says

    Your card is so beautiful. I just recently found your blog, and I am enjoying it so much. Thank you for sharing you talents. You are an inspiration.

  135. Billie A says

    Hello…

    ps: I love the no line coloring. I like the idea of coloring the background first. Sure it gives you a better idea on doing the flower colors against the background.

    another ps: I posted my card that I did using copics and pencils on my blog yesterday.. Thanks for the inspiration.. I see now I should of done some sequins or Nuvo drops.. but it’s posted and done as is.. Would like any thoughts on it.. what I should of done?? I am ok any critique. I am fine taking positive criticism.. thank you.

  137. Barbara Walborn says

    Sigh. I had to miss out on a lot of coloring this time because of travel. But oh how I have enjoyed catching up on everyone’s great projects. Love your cards and your enthusiasm Kathy. Love the no line coloring.

  143. Tina Mayo says

    hello…just found your blog..wished I would have found it sooner.. like before the 30 day challenge. This coloring is soooo good!! and just watched your youtube craft room video… It is sooooooooooooooooooo AWESOME!!!

  146. Kim Rasmusson says

    I love all the lines you put on your images. My pencil lead does that sometimes too

  147. Candy Mills says

    AWESOME card, Kathy!! You make it look so easy :o)
    I did love the really close up today cause I actually could
    see clearly what you do.
    Thank you for the chance of the giveaway

    Hugs, Candy

  148. Sabrina Fioretti says

    Hello Kathy! Awesome card. I find that my coloring skills with colored pencils are the best and your tips have made them even better! Thank You for what you are doing! It’s encouraged me to leave my comfort zone and try new mediums.

  149. Dana M says

    Gorgeous! I love the background treatment, it really allows the blooms to pop. Thank you Kathy, it has been so fun checking in on what you are coloring everyday. I’ve enjoyed your adventure.

  153. Donna Phelan says

    There’s just something about Gina’s images, you have colored this up beautifully! I can never seem to get a sharp point on my Derwent Pencils, they always ‘fall out’ 🙁 I guess that’s why I always reach for my Copics!

  154. Debbie A. says

    Great cards, Kathy! The first is my favorite-great coloring-and the second is so unique! Thanks for the inspiration and the giveaway.

  158. Norine Mueller says

    Love your coloring I have done the challenge but not uploading them thank you for all the tips hugs

  159. Teresa says

    Hi Kathy! This card is great. I enjoyed the video…and learned a few new skills to try out.

  160. Kellee Kennett says

    Thank you for the detailed colored pencil techniques. You have helped take away my fear of using the pencils I have had for 5 years! The daffodils are stunning!

  166. Tracy Welham says

    I think I;ve mentioned before that I’ve never been brave enough to try no line colouring but I’ve added your video to my watch list and must attempt this. I mean what’s the worst that could happen, it’s just a piece of card right! Great cards and I just adore the fglossy legs on the flamingo! Creative Blessings, Tracy x

  170. Susan Wareham says

    Beautiful! I have this stamp and it is awesome. When I first saw you coloring this purple I thought you were NUTS. I worked at a greenhouse for 15 years and can’t remember ever seeing a purple daffodil. So before I made a comment I goggled it and OMgosh there actually are some. They must be very rare If I ever find some I will be planting them.

  174. Carolina A says

    hello everybody! beautiful cards, this blue one is stunning and last year’s is amazing as well.

  181. Traci Starkweather says

    Hello Kathy!

    This card is so beautiful! I love the different depths of color in the background, too.

    Thank YOU for having your blog and these wonderful 30 Day challenges! I’m finding time on most days to relax and practice different techniques with different materials. I am grateful for all that I learn from you, and all of tge time and work you put into your blog. I greatly appreciate it and YOU!

  184. Nora says

    Oh these cards are fantastic!! I love both the stamp sets you used. As for no line coloring-I have tried this a few times and each time it is an EPIC fail for me. I know it takes practice but I have so little time to create that it is not something I want to practice to get it perfect.

  185. Cheryl Scrivens says

    WOW! Kathy, you are amazing, and I love this card and how you’ve colored it with the Copic marker and your “beloved” rag and then used pencils. I am just getting into pencils and really appreciated listening to everything you said…yes, I would not like music and love listening to anything you say. Thanks again for your inspiration and encouragement to COLOR! Hugs!

  190. Laurie DiGregorio says

    Love your video! I bought a Various Ink bottle, and have my own little rag ready to go! I also love the idea of coloring the background first. Sometimes when I spend a lot of time coloring, I’m frustrated and heartbroken if I mess up the background. It makes sense that when you are trying a new background technique, start with that first! If you mess up, no harm done because you haven’t ruined hours of work! Thanks again for all you do!

  193. Rufus says

    OMG, You’re coloring is always, always awesome, but this is just beyond exquisite! I just sat and stared at the card for some time before I even read the post. The stamp is lovely, but it’s the coloring that does it. I remember the Krumspring stamps..gotta love that flamingo! Back to staring at the card now…………

  195. Angela says

    Hello Kathy,
    oh my godness, your card looks so beautiful.♥ Many thanks for your inspiration and your fantastic coloring video. I love to see how you’re coloring the images and give us great tips.
    Many hugs
    Angela

  204. Traci Starkweather says

    Hello again, Kathy!

    I have already commented on this gorgeous card but I just found time today (Day 30) to watch it. Well worth it! You share your tips and tricks, I love that you repeat them over and over. For you, you don’t even have to think to color the nooks, outline the images in a dark color, eyelashes places at times, you know what I’m talking about! Well, it’seems a lot to take in and remember for me. I am grateful you do this. The more you hear, see and do something, the better the chance to remember it!

    This card is STUNNING! I love the background, and every inch of these beautiful flowers and greenery! I keep working with my pencils and I will continue to do so!

    I did not get a chance to post anything to share this time around. Next time!

    Kathy, thank you for your very giving and caring heart! When i say giving– I’m not even referring to the awesome give-aways you share. I’m talking about sharing your talent, your time, your stories…you! Thank you for being such an inspiration to us!

    He-IS-Able!

    Stunning floral and I love the funkiness of the green flamingo with the Christmas tree.

  206. Carolyn says

    Who knew no line coloring could be so beautiful! Your art is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

  207. Sabrinna says

    Gorgeous, love the colors! I aspire to be able to color like that and is that the Luminance colored pencils?!

  208. Danielle Vincent says

    Hello Kathy!! How beautiful this is! I have only tried the no lines technique once. I didn’t do too bad but I also didn’t do great LOL! Definitely want to try it again. LOVE that stained glass looking card too. Have a fantastic day sweet lady.

  209. Jennifer K says

    Hello Kathy, your cards are seriously incredible, the stained glass look of the tree is amazing and your floral is stunning!

  211. Denise says

    Hello Kathy. Sorry the month has come to an end. Have enjoyed your coloring each day. Thank you for the giveaway offers.

  213. Jan says

    Hello… 🙂

    I love this rag technique and I love it. I used it all the time for background and it really give a big impact on the card and hide my imperfect blending/lines
