    This is so beautiful Kathy. I picked up a couple things while watching this little video of yours. You are such a great teacher.
    Last week I was playing around with my Copic’s and over the weekend I have switched to w/c’s. I truly ‘fly around randomly’ from medium to medium. LOL

    Yay! I have a PP gift certificate this will be the perfect time to use it!
    I want to print up an envelope and stationary. And of course color them to match.
    Beautiful florals as always, you rock!

  21. Beatrice says

    Beautiful shades of Purples this poppy looks life like! Thanks you and appreciate all
    your hard work teaching us over these challenges!

  24. cyndi morris says

    I’m not familiar with Power Poppy stamps, but that image is gorgeous. I’m hopping over to their blog to see more of their products. As always, your coloring is beautiful.

  26. Becky Green says

    SUPER DISCOVERY, Kathy! You can also used an Elegant Writer Pen to get an aged look! I have found I can get some blues from the ink…! The way I learned to use these pens is to stamp in a Tea Dye Ink (Distress Ink) & take the Elegant Writer Pen & draw over the lines of the image where you want, & then take your water color brush & blend out the ink…. doing this gives an aged look! 😉 BUT, you could use the ink in the pens to whatever color you are using too!!! I LOOOVE the depth you have given this flower! 😉

  27. Mary Reiner says

    They say everything happens for a reason – I guess this was a teaching idea for you to share with us. Your bloom looks lovely and I am excited to try this technique out for myself!

  28. Katherine Dent says

    This is an amazing happy accident. I love this color combination. I enjoy all your coloring demonstrations and sharing your life.

  29. Barbara Lassiter says

  31. Maureen Reiss says

    This is stunning and unfortunately I am pulling out things other than flowers. LOVE your coloring and inspiration and things for the challenge!! Have kept up some how and really enjoying myself!

  50. Jackie Bednar says

    I tend to avoid using purples especially in the distress line i never think they will work well together. Boy your flower sure proved me wrong. I love all the shades. Now i want to pull out my purple inks and play. Thanks for the great idea.

  51. Linda Gordon says

    Love that you had such a happy accident! Working with limited supplies often forces you to do things you don’t normally do…work outside the box!
    Beautiful job coloring!

  52. Lisa Byers says

    Beautiful Poppy and in my favorite colors!! You do a wonderful job with coloring!!

    I welcome accidents as they always bring new ways to do things. Love this flower and the rich colours.

  58. Billie A says

    Glad your weekend was great. Hope you get some good sleep. I love the large flowers. Your coloring is stunning and happy mistake and making it work. I have done similar and just tossed it away… hum I should of worked it.

  59. treen says

    This flower is drop dead gorgeous. It was so exciting to see the memento ink blur into gray. It was so cool. I”m hunting through my stamp sets now to find a great big flower like yours so I can try this technique. Thank you so much for being so transparent and sharing so many wonderful ideas with us. Hugs, treen
