Hello Friends, I am home and back to a more regularly scheduled post. Yay! Now that I am out of my coloring Canada bubble I am catching up on news and ahhhh it’s so crushing. Soon Simon Says Stamp and OnLine Card Classes will be having some great fundraisers very soon that I think you will LOVE! Stay tuned!
If you are have been doing any coloring in a coloring book do keep in mind that you can make a card from those images like I am for today’s card.
I didn’t have the time or patience to finish the large lily in my coloring book so I decided to cut it out and make a card out of it. Here, here and here are other posts that have coloring book cards as well.
If you love large flowers this XL Lily from Power Poppy is a great stamp to have on hand. This sentiment called, “Choose Happy” is so perfect right now. I was so happy to come across this in my stash!
This was my BD dinner last night with the family. I am so dedicated to you all and I am so grateful for your daily visits and participation … or if you are just coloring that’s cool too. Thank YOU tho.
I finished this in the morning. Someone reminded me that I used a stencil on a flower before … so out came my Tim Holtz stencil. Love how it can bring your coloring to the next level and distracts the eye if you don’t like your shading.
This stencil is perfect paired with some barn door distress ink… once it’s dry I added some white dots with my fav gel pen.
See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

LOVELY WORK, Kathy!!! I have a coloring book with flowers & haven’t even attempted to color in it! I guess, fear of messing it up? LOL I WILL HAVE TO attempt SOON!!! 😉
DAH! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATHY!!!! 😉
First, Happy Birthday!!! Looks like a fun dinner. Now I am a huge fan of coloring books, postcards, printed cards. Love it all. Your lilies came out so wonderful and made an awesome card. My background page is almost finished. I should be able to get four cards from it. That’s a true bonus. Have a lovely day after your Birthday……
Let I start with wishing you a verry Happy Birthday if the BD dinner was for you.
Love the idea that your Lilly came out of a colorbook, need to keep that in mind. I have some colorbooks and not al the pages are gorgeous, bus sometimes it has a part on it I like. So now I follow your idea and can make a card of it, great! Love the color you used and with the stencil and white gelpen it looks like a real Lilly.
Thanks again for your time and effort although you are such a busy woman.
I love how you used the stencil!
Happy Belated Birthday! I love this Lily! It is breathtaking! I am going to have to remember the stencil idea when I am coloring my XL flowers! TFS!
Love how you made a card from that XL Lily! And.of.course.your.coloring.
I get so excited seeing your cards and things. I haven’t been able to color as much as I would like, but I am getting things organized a bit. With a little bit of coloring. Love getting your emails every day. And you has so much energy you share , I can’t imagine how you get anything done. I’m wore out just thinking of all you share, and I know you do more that just what you share ;-). Thanks so much for making me think of things daily and giving me smiles.
XO April
Love it!
Hi, Kathy! This is absolutely beautiful! Love the added stencil! It looks so realistic! I’ve coloured several times this month, probably around 10, so I surprised myself! I didn’t think I’d be able to do it health wise, but I’m quite pleased with myself. I coloured again today. I had an appointment for my car and I coloured while I waited – I took my Prisma pencils with me! The time goes much faster when you’re colouring while waiting. Thanks for the inspiration!
Happy Birthday, dear Kathy!! Your birthday dinner looks yummy! Hope your day was as special as YOU are!
Wow, what a gorgeous card!! Love the quick vids you’ve been doing. It is fun to see the progression as you color! Another wow for that stencil! I need that…love splatters but they scare me and this stencil would give me control (I have issues hahaha)!
Kathy, this is simply stunning! Your coloring skills are absolutely amazing!
Happy, happy, birthday to you! We always get KFC for my birthday dinner as I am a fried chicken freak among other things. This year because my birthday falls in April and my dad died in March I didn’t think anyone would remember my birthday. Actually, I was sad anyway because this would be the first year without my dad on my birthday. Nobody forgot and all was okay. I hope you didn’t have to much cake and you got lots of presents.
I never thought of using a coloring book page for a card. I have coloring pages from on-line but not from any of my coloring books that I’ve bought or someone else bought for me. Most of the pages are abstract and big so they won’t fit on a card. When I scan them, the glitter gel pens and the really bright colors don’t show up really well. I used some florescent yellow on a card and it came out looking white, like I didn’t color it there. The colors never come out right or show up and the glitter never shows and I hate that. I’m guessing it’s my printer? I love yours! It’s so pretty and colored so beautifully. I wouldn’t expect anything less from you. Hey, so you don’t have something ready like you should have had. No big deal. You got it ready and we got to see it. We forgive you. Family and life comes first. We come second. Thanks for showing it to us.
Happy Birthday Kathy! I’m glad you are home safe and sound and more coloring–love the stencil used on your beautiful card.
Happy Belated Birthday!! Hope your year is blessed. Your lily looks great. I like the stencil idea I think you’ve done this before but I needed to see this again so I can REMEMBER to do this.. Thanks for the reminder. I need a color book that has beautiful images in it. Ones I see don’t have beautiful flowers.
Belated Happy Birthday! Most of the books I find have really small images, l love how big this is. It made such a beautiful card.
Happy Birthday! Love your blog and all the inspiration you so generously give us! Lovely flower and I love the stencil idea.
woooowww stunning
love the dots you added on your flower
so so stunning Flower Kathy
hugs
