Hello Friends, How are you? It’s day 30!!! Omg!! I can’t believe how these coloring challenges seem to go by so quickly. I had a blast viewing all your creativity and reading how making time for yourself has been a positive experience for you like it is for me :). It’s music to my ears when you mention the calming effect of coloring. You all have been so kind and supportive of my 30 day coloring challenges and words can’t begin to express my gratitude.
I do have to apologize that posting in the FaceBook group was just to much for me. FB is a place I never visit and I wanted to be able to be a supportive person in the group but, every day I thought I could and then it just never happened. So sorry. A super huge thanks to the Good Will Ambassadors for spreading love on Facebook & Instagram. The challenge is about coloring & it’s about COMMUNITY, spreading kindness & support for each other ❤😀 A huge shout out to these ladies Tatiana, Olya, Miriam, Isabel, Pam, Tracie, Maureen, Faye, Tina, Donna, and Patricia.
I want to thank so many of you for being so active and supportive and encouraging in the FB group and or at Instagram. I hope we were able to reach you and encourage you. Our community is the best and the most supportive people I have had the pleasure of knowing.
A thank you goes out to you for coloring … just coloring is a good thing and you don’t have to do anything but, color. My project to day is for you all to convey my appreciation.
Today’s project took some time but, it’s easy if you spread it out over a few days. I filled a mini mister with some copic refill ink in blue. Always test your initial sprays in a box or something so you don’t get the mist of ink all over. I have many alphabet die cuts but, not many stamps so I made these die cuts work like stamps for me from Altenew … I love the opening in the font.
Before I added my coloring I used a “0” copic marker to mute some of the spray in the flowers and leaves. (this was quick & easy)
The next thing to do is to identify the leaves from the petals. A few times I referred to my stamps to figure out what was what. (at this point a quick color is the best thing because you can always add more color later)
The large purple flower on the left is from Power Poppy and all the other flowers are from Gina K. Designs. After my copic coloring I added highlights with these pencils.
In closing … The last day is always so bittersweet for me …it’s like when the holidays are over and you get that let down. I want to thank you each and everyone of you for making the challenge a super fun one. Your daily visits, the comments, the participation, the support etc. etc. T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U. from the bottom of my heart 🙂 Many Hugs, Kathy

Thank YOU, Kathy! Even though I wasn’t able to fully participate, I really enjoyed seeing what you were creating and what others shared. It is wonderful to see how many lives you touch through coloring. Who’d have thought?! You are such a wonderful ambassador! This coloring project is just beautiful. You are so wonderfully talented and have such a giving heart. Thank YOU so much for all you do!
It was a fun coloring challenge! I didn’t do every day but I did do quite a bit. Thanks for hosting. I know it is a lot of work for you.
I wasn’t able to keep up this time, but I did get a few days in. Thanks for all your fun inspiration!
That is a fabulous way to make a floral cluster with an integrated sentiment!!! Thank you so much for organizing this amazing challenge and thank you for sharing your talent, Kathy!!!
Thank you Kathy for a great 30 days! I never got around to posting my projects but did get a chance to do some coloring. I really enjoyed it!
Thank you for your encouragement.
I loved seeing what your were working on each day! I always love your 30 Days of Coloring events!
LOL I posted my card for today, & thought tomorrow was the 30th day! LOL I just keep going…. 😉 Your piece is BEAUTIFUL, Kathy!!! It is NICE to see the process with this one too!!! 😉 It’s been SO MUCH FUN!!!! Thank YOU!!!! 😉 (((HUGS!))) (Now, take some time to rest! YOU are doing all the work here!) 😉
It’s already the last day! I love your card, it’s so “Kathy”, vibrant colours and simply gorgous! I’ve made a card as a “Thank you” to you, for once again organizing the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I linked it here on the blog ( and being a little naughty) I posted him also on your FB page.
Once again I’ve learned a lot and I enjoyed all of the things you showed us.
So Kathy, THANK YOU!
Gorgeous coloring!!
This is such a fun event! While I did not participate with the challenge very frequently, I was so inspired by all the creations on fb and instagram, and of course your beautiful creations as well, Kathy. Thank you so much for all you do and bringing us this wonderful experience!
Thanks so much Kathy for sponsoring this again. Life got in the way with my coloring the last couple of days, but I did do some sort of coloring daily. I ended up just posting on your link in the blog rather than FB or instagram, time just got away from me! I love the technique you showed today, have to consider doing that in the future!
Always fun!
A big THANK YOU Kathy for having the challenge. Giving us inspiration with your awesome projects. I love seeing what you create and thinking of you tips and tricks when I create and trying to put them to use.
Your dad is still in my prayers and hope he is home soon.
Prayers for your safe travels. Big HUGS
Thanks Kathy for putting this together and for all your support and inspiration!
Thank You Kathy, I love to play along with your 30 days! It always great to see your colouring projects and thanks for all the tips and links along the way!
What BEAUTIFUL coloring Kathy!!
See You next time, hope all is well the family.
Thank YOU Kathy for hosting this challenge. Otherwise in our own crazy busy lives with the good and the bad that each day brings, would we remember to take a few minutes for ourselves to relax, if not for this? I know that many days without some sort of reminder, I myself wouldn’t. So suffice to say, this month was a difficult month for me and I wasn’t able to colour every day however when I did it was some much needed time to not think about the heavy stuff, just relax and enjoy. So again, Thank You!
Thank YOU, Kathy! Your kindness and encouragement was with us every day! I so appreciate what you are doing for our community in this crafty corner of the world! I’ve learned so much from you! See you Sunday in New Braunfels!! Woohoo! Can’t wait!
Gorgeous!!!!
Thanks for having the 30 day challenge. I did do it everyday and had a blast looking through my stash to find something to color. It did help to hear from so many with such kinds words.
Thank You Kathy for being here for those of us crafter’s. I do honestly really enjoy your 30 day challenges, they get me to sit and relax and color for awhile. By the Way Happy Valentines day to you. I can’t wait for the next challenge.
Thank YOU, Kathy, for fostering such a wonderful community! I was unable to participate every day, but when I did, it felt so good. You are a wonder, and we appreciate all you do. Hugs to you!
Kathy, I just wanted to let you know, I did a blog post JUST FOR YOU today as a Thank You for the 30 Day Coloring Challenge! “THANK YOU!!!” It was SO MUCH FUN ! (((HUGS!)))
its amazing!
I have to say in my e-mail this page came out huge! Nothing else was huge in my in-box so I didn’t have to do anything to my page. I wonder why that happened anyway? I have to say though that a huge colorful card colored by Kathy is not a bad thing it just freaked me out because it was so huge. I had to keep scrolling over to the side to see everything.
I am so sad that I missed the last day of the coloring contest. I get so many cool e-mail’s and sometimes I don’t have enough time to read them all which is why I missed this. I had so much fun looking at all the amazing stuff you created and you have given me some ideas on how I can make my cards better. Thank you so much for that.
I was looking at your card with the hummingbird and I just got that stamp! I can’t wait to use it and I want to use it like you did. I don’t think I have that other stamp but I have plenty of flower stamps that I can use.
The card in this e-mail is so beautiful and so colorful. That’s the way I color all of my cards. Who cares if something really is that color or not? Not me!
Thank you for the coloring challenge. I always have so much fun and learn so much. You are an amazing teacher. I can’t wait for the next challenge!
Hi Kathy!! Your coloring is always Beautiful! How you take a stamped flower and bring it to life is amazing. Thank You for the 30 day. I didn’t get to play everyday or post all that I did play with, but I always love seeing what everyone is doing. I have signed up for March in St. Louis!!!!
