Hello Friends! How are you? It’s Day 2. and I am loving everything that you guys are sharing and coloring! Nothing like stop …. drop and color hahah!! Thanks for inspiring me!!
Yesterday I mentioned that I am at Jennifer’s Doves Boot Camp and today (it’s still “today” here in Arizona) was the first day and I am already learning some new tips …. like swirls that I will share with you tomorrow. Today was dots as most of you know I love. This sweet image is from La La Land Crafts and this image is full of open spaces … perfect for layers of dots.
The face is the part that I am really exited to learn more about adding facial features with shading.
Here’s a photo of two saguaro cactus with some blue sky that makes me happy. Have a great day and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

I love the look of those dots! Gotta try this!
Please try the dots! So much fun. Thank you for stopping by and taking time to leave a comment 🙂
Super sweet image!!
Isn’t it the cutest image, Tara? I love La La Land Craft images 🙂
Enjoy Boot Camp; it sounds like fun! That’s an awesome photo, and your little chick baby is adorable. 🙂
Thank you, Terrie! Im glad you like my scenic photo and baby chick 🙂
Love this Kathy, I would love to see you do a video on this one day, looks sweet!
Thank you, Teresa. I will try to show it again soon 🙂
Welcome to AZ Kathy! I did the boot camp a few years ago with Jennifer, it was great! I missed seeing you when you were here in October, as I was visiting family in MN and Iowa. We are having lovely weather for you, not too hot! Enjoy your time at boot camp, I’m guessing you are here visiting some family as well. I wish I could see you! I’m of course joining your challenge once again, I need to work on my Christmas card, I make 70 so need to get going. I started working on a page in a Christmas coloring book last night, to get me in the mood.
Thank you so much, Sheri! I hope the Christmas spirit finds you soon; 70 is a lot!!! I am looking forward to seeing your Christmas coloring 🙂
That is sooooo cute!!!
You are so sweet, Maureen! These La La Land Craft images are adorable and fun to color 🙂
Great inspiration with dots 🙂
I am so glad you like them, Monia Lisa! I hope you give this technique a try 🙂
Looks very good Kathy! I am working on a background for a card, but it does not work what I had in mind. But I do not give up, I have already an other idea for it. Have fun on your boot camp and hope to see/hear you tomorrow!
I appreciate your kind words, Henriette! I am so glad that you did not give up; I believe that some “mistakes” are just destined for another card that is even more fabulous than what you intended 🙂
Well, if you need to go to boot camp, all hope is lost for me! 😀 I love how you coloured this image – so much dimension and shading through the dots!
You make my heart smile, Lindsey! No all is not lost for you. It is amazing how much we can learn from one another, regardless of how much practice we’ve had. Just play, my friend! Have fun with it 🙂
SO wish I was there! It is so much fun to learn about the faces… something I need a brush up on… so happy you’re having fun!
I wish you were here too, Lisa! It is a blast and my head is crammed full of coloring ideas to share with you all 🙂
so sweet:)
Thank you, Dee! You are sweet to say so 🙂
Kathy how cute!
Xoxo Olga
You are so sweet, Olga! Thank you 🙂
Of course your baby chick has my favorite color in the whole wide world in it & I am loving it! It is just way to cute! Adorable for Easter but it’s so cute it makes me sad that I had a scrambled egg for breakfast. LOL We’ve been to AZ so I have seen cactus but that seems bigger then I remember. Maybe that’s because that is a real close up photo?
I don’t get your comments about the dots. I see dots in your coloring but I don’t get how you did it. Do you have a video I could watch? I love dots & have done dots on cards but they don’t look like yours.
What do you do when you can’t afford Copics? They aren’t cheap. What are a good kind that do what Copics do but aren’t that expensive? I have a few Copies & I’ve bought them when they are on sale but I can’t afford the ones I need to do a whole coloring page or card.
Your enthusiasm for coloring is contagious, Gail! I recommend Altenew’s alcohol markers as an alternative to Copics. I hope to talk about it at length in an upcoming post…stay tuned! Thank you, sweet coloring friend 🙂
What a sweetly coloured image!!
