Hello Friends, How are you? Oh dear I can’t believe it’s day 29 …. well let’s not think about that until we have to lol.
This stamp set called, “Butterfly Kisses” from Lawn Fawn is absolutely adorable but, aren’t they all? When I was in the Lawn Fawn booth at the trade show in January I just couldn’t get over all of their amazing new products and their interactive dies. Making an interactive card is one of my fantasies … I need to just sit down and do it!
For a person that always adds the sentiment last you can run into trouble but, the new Wavy Sayings and the Simply Wavy Banners are perfect for me. Thank YOU Lawn Fawn!
Lawn Fawn also came out with some beautiful paper. I used the Spiffy Speckles purple paper behind my coloring but, to be honest it’s hard to use because it’s so pretty especially some of their more patterned paper.
You all know that I LOVE to create little scenes and the Lawn Fawn stamps are always great for the imagination especially Butterfly Kisses.
I was just playing around with some blue markers and adding some purple. My favorite technique is that rag technique. Copic Blending solution solves all of your blending problems if you ask me. When doing a large background I do a section at a time and heat set in between with a heat tool.
The ink is Gina K. Designs new ink called Whisper and I love it.
When coloring it’s best to start at the top and work your way down but, I didn’t in this case. After using my markers I added more texture with colored pencils (I am afraid to say they are becoming a favorite pencil).
I am hoping to announce all the winners tomorrow … crossing my fingers. Have a great day and see you tomorrow! Hugs, Kathy

How very kind of you, Olga! Thank you very much, my friend 🙂
I would never have thought to use the rag technique on a background, but I love how it turned out! I’ll have to give it a try… It still makes me nervous as I’ve had so many fails, but I love it when it does what it’s supposed to!
Thank you so much, DAnn! I wish you success in your attempt 🙂
This is so adorable! I love how you colored everything, and the background is really fun. 🙂
You are so thoughtful, Terrie! Thank you so much 🙂
Absolutely love this card, Kathy. The technique you used on the background is one I will use a lot. The animals are just so darn cute.
I am grateful for your kind comment, Sandy! It means a lot to me 🙂
Super cute card indeed!!!
Thank you, Cindy! I am thrilled that you like it 🙂
This. Is. Soooooo. GREAT!!!! What fabulous texture!
You are the sweetest, Heather! Thank you so very much:)
So sweet and adorable scenery and of course beautiful coloring!
You brightened my day, Hetty! I appreciate the smile 🙂
Love it!
its super gorgoeus!
That is so kind, Fiki! You make my heart smile 🙂
So very adorable card Kathy and your rag technique aswell as your colouring is great. I used it on image when using my waterbased markers, it didn’tmake a huge difference such as with yours but I could see texture. I think I have to use a other rag, this was an old piece of towel and I think it was to flat. But making texture this way is so great.
I am so happy that you like the rag technique too. I think the towel makes a big difference. i hope you find one that gives you the texture that you are looking for 🙂
I love your coloring on this one. The background is so cool! I’m sad that the coloring challenge is all over but I can’t wait until the next one. Since my mom has therapy & doctors appointments a lot & my coloring goes with me, I will be coloring all the time! I hope I make you proud because you make me proud!
Awww, Gail, this is one of the sweetest comments! You made my day. And I am so very proud of all of the coloring you get done. Its amazing how you make good use of your waiting time when taking care of your mom 🙂
Kathy I love this!!!! Your no line coloring is amazing.
I am grateful for your lovely comment, Debbie! It means the world to me 🙂
Ahhhh, this stamp set is so adorable already but your coloring and stacking of critters makes it even cuter!!! :)))
Wow – I like how you approached it exactly opposite of what one might typically. Gorgeous results
