Hello Friends, How’s it going? My apologies about not posting yesterday but, I know you all understand and I really appreciate that.
DAY 17. This is something I have begging companies for and thanks to Hannah she fulfilled my wish without even knowing it. What was my wish? To have large florals preprinted on quality paper so I could color them, frame them or gift them.
Here is the description from Hannah’s Etsy shop. “Nine beautiful floral designs drawn by me, Hannah Schroepfer! Printed on Gina K Artists’s Choice Cardstock. This Cardstock is compatible with Alcohol Markers and Colored Pencils. Perfect to frame or even leave black and white!”
Hannah also has a pack of eleven beautiful floral designs printed on kraft cardstock that is compatible with colored pencils or markers. She also has smaller florals with black ink and some beautiful prints for purchase if you don’t want to color. DON’T FORGET about that 25% discount. Thank YOU Hannah.
This took me a few days and I enjoyed every minute of it. I wanted to show you this before I added a little more color, some pencil detail and a grey shadow with copic markers.
Now that I see this I need to soften some of my grey shadow lines and add some brown to the small stem. Always a work in progress but, it’s the little details that make a difference. I added white gel pen accents to the stamen.
DAY 18. This beautiful shoe is from Ink on 3 and I stamped 50 of these babies for my students this past weekend. Part of this was colored on the airplane and a few petals I demoed with.
** By the way the event with The Stamp Junkies called Junkie Fest was fantastic!! Every single person I met was so sweet and kind and I loved teaching at their venue. The admin are such awesome ladies and I can’t say enough good things. If I was better at communicating I would say a lot more. Hopefully I was able to show my appreciation when I was there and I miss seeing all those beautiful happy faces.
The rest of this “Heels to You” …. I finished up today with a little more brown pencil, black pencil and some white gel pen in the middle. The most important colors and the colors that I usually start with are RV10 and E50 .
If you are from the states any plans for the 4th? Chilling? Coloring? I would love to hear.
See you tomorrow and thanks for your visit. Hugs, Kathy

The colouring of that gorgeous flower is stunning! I don’t know enough English words to say how stunning this is. Thank you so much for sharing this masterpiece.
And talking about masterpieces, Day 18 that shoe is so cool, awesome colouring on this one aswell.
Thank you so much Kathy for both the great coloured images, I wish I had been there last weekend to learn from you. But happily there is the internet.
Something else, that little golden ball of fur is so adorable, I saw it on your stories.
See you tomorrow. Happy colouring.

Fantastic florals, thank you Hannah, Kathy you’ve made an awesome job with both those images, I’m especially in love with that shoe. Let me know when they start producing those & I will have a pair in any shade of purple please.
Got a giggle for you Kathy, as I’ve posted I’ve not been very well just lately with my condition & yet again I’ve ended up missing you for a few days while I’ve been back in hospital, but this time at least I got to pre print some images & take my pre sharpened pencil crayons with me. Along with a clip board, sharpener & your voice in my head about posture, well as good as I could in my current condition hehe x Glad to be home again now x
Kathy Racoosin says
I appreciate your kind and thoughtful compliment, Andrea! I am so sorry that you have bounced back in the hospital AGAIN. It is a scary thought that my voice is in your head LOL 🙂

Gail Plaskiewicz says
How did I miss this? These are so beautiful! I love them so much! Your coloring is so beautiful! I did a shoe like that but it was all flowers. I’m sending it to my niece because she loves high heels. I could send it to my sister too. I guess they could both get one, huh? I even have paper that has high heels on it just for this shoe I did! Flowers are my favorite things to color & I see they are yours too!
