Hello Friends, Welcome to Day 26!!! CRAZY that it’s Day 26 already. Coloring everyday is something that I still crave and want to do. For me it’s the blog posts that become a chore for me. When it’s all said and done I plan on continuing to color daily if possible. What about you?
Before the coloring challenge Alex Syberia asked me to color one of her beautiful illustrations and I am just now getting around to it.
You can check out her inspiring blog here and or buy her digi stamps here.
I decided to color this opposite. The leaves in floral colors and the florals in more leafy colors. Such fun!
By trade I am a procrastinator and I have had a new printer for months. Printing this digi from Alex I was forced to clean a space, unwrap and hook up my printer. Thank YOU Alex!
I was trying out some new gel markers but, not sure I like them yet for that first layer of color.
Adding pencils and this gel pen is what made this digi pop off of the kraft paper.
GIVEWAY! Kymona has sewed a beautiful pouch for one lucky winner. If you would like to enter the giveaway leave a comment and say, “yes to the pouch” in the comment area. The winner will be announced at the end of the challenge.
The quality is wonderful and Kymona’s seams and lines are perfection. A big thanks to Kymona for the beautiful giveaway. You can find her shop here.
I thought you might want to take a peek at the inside. LOVE the pop of yellow! Isn’t the fabric beautiful! Ok I am off and will see you tomorrow. Enjoy your day and thanks for the visit. Hugs, Kathy

~carol
Carol, you are the sweetest! I’m happy you like my opposites coloring. And I agree; Kymona’s sewing skills are awe inspiring 🙂
Yes to the pouch! And yes to your coloring!! The difference adding the pencils and white gel pen are incredible! I love the opposite coloring that you did and how you add blues to greens, purples to pinks, etc., to shade. I’m the one that saw you at airport running back to recheck a bag LOL! It’s from bags being too heavy after Junkiefest lol!
Regina, you are too kind! I am grateful for your sweet words. LOL, Junkiefest was so much fun 🙂
Oh my – definitely “YES, to the pouch” – love it!!

I HAVE BEEN working away here, & DO PLAN ON continuing my coloring LONG after the challenge, Kathy! I THOUGHT I had every thing here in time to do WALL ART. HA! A snag in the plans, & I am STILL collecting things to do the BIG Wall Art I had planned! Just a few more things to come & I’ll be ready to get started! LOL Our daughter has requested I make some Wall Art for her Dorm Living Room!!! The BIG Project, is for behind her couch! ;)<3 SO FUN!!! (Seeing the images you use has helped GREATLY! And is what got me started looking for specific images!)
Yes to the pouch! I wish I could sew! I love picking out fabrics and shopping for them… I just don’t have the skills to do anything with them!

I really love this on the Kraft, Kathy! And, I totally agree with you. I love coloring, but I am really getting tired of the blog posts. So, except for my “required” posts for design teams, I only post to Instagram!
Yes to the pouch!

Yes to the pouch! Love it
“Yes to the pouch”. Such a beautiful bag to take supplies on the go. Love it!
Oh my goodness…yes to the pouch!!!
I love what you did with the colours and I do like the gel pen effect(s). As I’ve mentioned before, and will probably do until it annoys the heck out of everybody, the inspiration I have been blessed with during your Coloring Challenge is priceless. Thank you and thank you Kymona for a chance to win that beautiful pouch ♥️
Yes to the pouch!!!
Yes to the pouch! Lol! That kind of reminds me of this English teacher I had, Mr. Leonard. He used to keep this sweater in his classroom for kids that get cold because his room was unusual cold. It had llamas printed all over it and in order to use it we had to say “Mr. Leonard… I yearn for the llama.” Lol!!
Yes, Please to the pouch! What a cute little zipper bag for important coloring supplies!
Yes to the pouch! Your added gel pen accents make the colors pop!
Yes to the pouch! It’s lovely and I always need another one for various sets of markers, pens or pencils.
Yes to the pouch!!!! What a generous and gorgeous gift. I always take coloring mediums with me when I travel. Perfect size too. I have been doing mostly stamping these days. I am having some issues with my hands and see the doctor tomorrow. My doc thinks I may have carpal tunnel. Whatever it is, I need it fixed!! Lovely coloring on this one Kathy. Myself, I have never been a fan of gel pens. But never say never.
yes to the pouch
Yes to the pouch!. Love it!

WOW ! Those Digi images from Alex are superb, adore your two takes on the colour combinations. Thank you for a chance to win such an awesome pouch in such fabulous patterned fabric. With this new bout of chronic pain my condition has really got in the way of my 30 day challenge plans, managed till about day 19 but it’s been so on/ off since then. Thank you for being there with the constant inspiration x It means more than you’ll guess during bad times x

YES to the pouch. It is perfection! As always your colouring is amazing. I love that you switched it up to prove that opposites do attract!
Yes to the pouch!!!!!! It is so perfect for any crafter out there. That was just the sweetest thing for Kymona to do. And so very talented!!!
Good Luck Everyone!!!
Your card is stunning, I saw it on Instagram and saw there was something differnt about it and couldn’t place it. But after reading your post here, I know that it is the opposite colouring you did.
I love the beautiful image from Alex, I know her work from her DT work for different companies. I had to take a peek at her store because I love flowers, her digital stamps are gorgeous and I will certainly go back there and not only to peek LOL.
Thank you for an other inspiring post, the days of the challenge fly by, I didn’t had time to post my card with the AI stamp set what I promised yesterday. I will post it tomorrow, see you then and happy colouring.
Yes to the pouch!
Wow! I just love this coloured pencil on craft paper wreath. it is gorgeous! It is winter school holidays here in NZ and I’m heading away on a road trip with my daughter tomorrow. Your pic has just inspired me to do some stamping after work today and pack up my pencils. I haven’t found much time to colour in this challenge but I have enjoyed seeing all the gorgeous pics others have uploaded. Thank you Kathy so much for organising these challenges. I know they take so much of your time and energy.
Yes to the pouch!
Yes to the pouch! Thanks Kymona for such a fabulous prize!

What terrific coloring Kathy. I try to color or create something every day, even if it’s not during one of your challenges. I find that creating something, even if it’s just designing a card layout on the computer is important to keeping me happy.
Yes to the pouch!!, thank you and Kymona for a chance to win!
Yes to the pouch! It’s adorable! How did we get to day 26 already?? Yikes!
Yes to the pouch!
The pouch is beautiful! And so is your card, as always!

Gorgeous colouring too!
Absolutely yes to the pouch. It is so pretty.
Yes to the beautiful pouch. The opposite colouring was very creative and turned out awesome.
Yes to the pouch! What a fun idea Kathy to reverse the colours for the leaves and floral’s.
Being as I have been too busy this month to do the color challenge every day, I am planning to do so each day (that I can) for the remainder of the summer and looking forward to it!
Yes to the pouch. 🙂 Excellent job coloring. Love how it turned out.
So pretty! I have started using a colour wheel to help me if I get stuck with choosing colours that go together well. It’s a really helpful tool.

I love Alex Syberia’s designs! Mixing ink and pencil is. New concept for me and I appreciate you introducing it to me. I have alcohol markers on the way so that will be a new one to add pencil embellishments! 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway. That pouch by Kymona is beautiful! I was just thinking that I need a more permanent storage solution for colouring on-the-go. 🙂
Gorgeous colouring Kathy! Thanks so much for sharing and for the chance to win such a gorgeous giveaway!
Yaaaas the adorable pouch please!
This is simply darling! Thanks for the chance to win !
Yes to the pouch. Awesome coloring.
YES TO THE POUCH!
BEAUTIFUL!
LOVE your opposite colouring!
… in my mind this should not work but my eyes LOVE it and have convinced my hands (& mind) to try it 🙂
Yes to that wonderful pouch – thank you Kymona for sharing your skills and products
Blessings

What a great way to colour and mix things up. Yes to the pouch-it is beautiful too!
I really love how you did this card! I am always coloring something a different color then it should be & people call me on it. I sometimes say on my world they are that color & they just look at me like I’m nuts. I might say I just wanted to do something different. Besides, you & I have never seen all the plants & animals in the world so how do you know there isn’t something that color? So how do we know that there isn’t something in this world that looks like your card? So in your world, there are flowers & leaves this color! LOL I love colors & use a lot of them in my cards as you can see here when I post. What a great card & I would love to win that tote for my markers!
YES to the pouch!!
It’s amazing how just adding a little white changes the whole piece,
Yes to the pouch! Loooove your details!
Yes to the pouch! What a great pouch for crafters!
I would have never switched colors, and colored the flowers with greens, and the leaves with colors other than green! What a great idea! The addition of the white gel pen to your coloring makes it all pop! Fantastic coloring!
Yes to the pouch!! Your colouring is amazing! Thank you for this chance!
Yes to the pouch.
I like how you switched colors for the flowers and leaves.
Yes to the pouch.
Wow this is beautiful, I never would have thought of switching the colors for the leaves & flowers, It really rocks! I’d absolutely love to win Kymona’s pouch!
Yes to the pouch. I love how you mixed up the color a bit and then added the white gel pen! Lovely and unique!
WOW!!! Amazing coloring!! Love it!!! And white details give so much more interest to the colored image. BEAUTIFUL!! :o)
Agree with blog posting. :o)
Yes to the pouch, it’s GORGEOUS!!! :o) Thank you for the opportunity and inspiration.
Hugs!!
Yes to the pouch ❤.
P.S. Gorgeous Coloring!
Your coloring is amazing! Love the pouch!
Yes to the pouch!
And I don’t necessarily color every day, but I do try, and plan to continue to, do something every day related to making cards. Either coloring, making backgrounds, assembling cards, or writing notes inside and getting a few cards in the mail.
Yes, to the pouch. Your card is amazing.
Yes to the pouch
Nice color combo on the digi.
