Hello Friends, How was your weekend? As I draft this post I am on my way for my Texas road trip and so looking forward to meeting some of you. Did you catch the post about my road trip to St. Louis and I am partnering up with Power Poppy!!! EXCITING! If you just want to sign up click here.
To watch the video in HD click here and a thumbs up is always appreciated. It’s a short and quick video.
Don’t you just love Peony’s? I do and this stamp from Power Poppy called, Peony Muse is so beautiful! I love the way that you can layer colors with the Tombow markers. I added glossy accents to the blue berries. … some of them. I didn’t want the glossy to run together so I intermittently added the glossy accents. The word sending” was embossed in white and then I used foam tape to pop it.
In case you are curious I used this distress ink on this watercolor paper. My thing of choice for masking is this paper.
As always I am so grateful for your visit and have a great week. Hugs, Kathy
Something new for me – Tombo Markers and some trusty SRM stickers
Day 3. Skip Around on Your Paper
Day 4. Watercolored Postcards
So beautiful, Kathy!
Kathy, Kathy, Kathy your way of coloring and adding more and more is what makes you. If we didn’t love your work we wouldn’t be here time and time again. I was told at one time that crafting is what makes the crafter, in turn your way of crafting make you who you are and also who we are. We never make mistakes they are just happy little accidents. So with that said keep on doing what you do that we love so much. Thanks for being here for us.
Absolutely stunning. Your colours are gorgeous.
So beautiful
I just love you, Kathy! you don’t ever have to stop because your images always get better and better even when they appear “done”. I know I would have to stop because I would be afraid of ruining an image that was “ok”. This is gorgeous! Question – you said you stamped the image with Distress Ink – does it bleed when you are coloring with a wet brush? Well – obviously it didn’t when you did it…but for the rest of us? LOL
Beautiful flowers Kathy!
gorgeous!
love it!
amazing coloring!
Those leaves look absolutely real. I have never thought of using some of those colors on leaves but I will be trying them out!
Awesome! Oh, I love your colouring and you don’t need a therapist for adding more and more because that’s you and your images are always gorgeous. Don’t change, whe all love you the way you are.
Have a lot of colouring fun in Texas.
I think what you’ve done with this Kathy, is make it look 3-D! WOW! 😉 SAFE TRAVELS & HAVE FUN!!! 😉
Kathy, I was at the workshop in Texas this weekend. It was simply wonderful. We all learned so many great and practical tips for coloring and ways to save time in the process. Your work is incredible. Thank you for sharing your talents, tips and tricks with us. For the rest of your reading this, go to one of her workshops!!!!! You will be ever grateful that you did.
Oh my gosh, what a beautiful job you did of coloring those Peony’s! They look stunning! I am in love with flowers and if it was up to me, our front yard would be full of all kinds of colorful flowers! It would look like Holland with all the different colors and flowers. However, we now have lots of nasty mutant ninja squirrels and they love flowers too but not the way I do. I love to plant everything by seeds because it’s so amazing to be able to grow something by a few tiny seeds. Last year I planted some flowers, the kind that look like a face in the flower. They were starting to come up when those mutant ninja squirrels dug them all up. I went outside and cried! When I stamp flowers everyone can’t see them like with real flowers but those nasty ninja squirrels can’t get at them and dig them up. I can put glitter on them and make them any colors I want, including rainbow colors. Now if I can just get rid of those squirrels! LOL
Thank you for showing us your beautiful card! I love it! Have a safe trip to Texas. I’ll pray the trip goes well for you.
Kathy, you are amazing and such an inspiration.
Your sense of color is amazing, Kathy. This is gorgeous as always.
Wow Kathy, this is so beautifully colored! Such talent!
You. Amaze. Me.
Am in love with your beautiful creation and this peony image! Thank you for inspiring us and challenging us!
Oh NO DONT STOP.. that is what makes your card so beautiful and different than others. I wish I had the courage to keep adding. You have such a gift to know what to do and your cards are beautiful. They are you.. I love the colors you used on this card. the leaves are beautiful and love the colors. I love the depth to the flowers. Stunning.
Gorgeous, just gorgeous!!!
This is Gorgeous Kathy! I am so sorry I missed the event and You! (Hugs) Never stop adding color! 😉 <3
STUNNING job Kathy. The flowers are gorgeous but those leaves look totally REAL!
You are the BEST!
Beautiful cards!! Love the backgrounds on all the cards – the detail flower layer and the stripes. Both backgrounds add so much to the cards. Also, the colouring of the peonies is done beautifully and I love the dimension on the flowers. The negative die cut sentiment is the perfect touch for the dimensional image. Simply gorgeous!!
