Hello Friends, How are you doing? Are you finding a daily practice of coloring? Seeing a difference in your coloring? It’s kinda cool to color the same image that you did on the first day to see the difference.
This beautiful floral called “Poppy Garden” from Gina K. Designs finally is finished and I loved coloring it.
Now for today’s coloring …. how decadent is this super fun celebratory stamp set called, ” Fancy Frosting ” from Honey Bee Stamps.
I couldn’t wait to ink it up with some Warm Glow .
This was fun to build this with the flowers and leaves. On the “Happy” I added pencil lines for a “wick” to turn the letters into a candles. Six lines of pencil to prop up the happy birthday.
Lots of lines and layers with sharp pencils.
The weekend is almost here and I can’t stop thinking about everyone who’s affected by the fires. My prayers go out to you all. Hugs, Kathy

I love the cake… it would make a wonderful wedding card also. Been working with distress inks this week. I just received my coneflower dies from Honey Bee and am having so much fun with loads of different colors. I’m not sure some of the colors exist, but I sure do love them. TFS

Kathy! I love this! You always do such an amazing job on whatever you create! You inspired me to dabble more with watercolor, but now I’ve gotta try pencils again! Such a beautiful card! You always seem to plan the color challenge when I need it the most!

This is not working for me–I signed up but never get into the class. I have renewed Instagram and that works fine but still I never get in–Not even Day 1. Kathy I love your work and thanks for classes that I never have gotten–sorry. mary
Kathy Racoosin says
Hi Mary, I just sent you an email and I see it just bounced back. Did you sign up for The Coloring Challenge Road Trip Online? If so can I get your full name and do you know your user name? I will get this taken care of. One more question … did you contact the OCC customer service just so I can find out the extent of what’s happening .
Sorry for the trouble
Have a good Sunday, Kathy

Hi Kathy!
Your cake looks amazing! Wish I had a slice! Did you color this up without needing to go get a piece of cake somewhere? What a great image!
Karen L K says
Wow such fantastic coloring on kraft! I love the look but I need a lot more practice.
Henriëtte says
Awesome makes Kathy.
I love the stunning vibrant coloured flowers and your birthday cake I would love to take a bite from.
Your watercolouring is always fabulous to see but your colouring with pencils is absolutely fabulous too!
