Hello friends, Happy weekend to you.. I hope it’s happy one 🙂
Today’s coloring was inspired by EunJi Jung. EunJi designed a series of beautiful floral stamps plus a book of illustrations. I love using her book as a guide on shading and adding color & I love coloring her stamps.
During my last challenge I colored another one of her beautiful stamps check it out here and totally copied her coloring. These are the colored pencils that I have been using.
I feel like I need to say it again but, I am really overwhelmed by what you all are doing. So inspired on so many levels. Thanks for taking this challenge with me. Feeling grateful….yes that’s me.
Have a creative day and thanks for your visit. See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

This is absolutely gorgeous, Kathy! You inspire me in SO many ways! We just returned from a two-week visit to Arizona. For the very first time ever, I packed art supplies for a trip so that I could still participate in the 30 Day Challenge. It was such fun to play with the Art Impressions Watercolor Southwest stamps, with cacti and mountains all around me. I will always cherish my relaxing afternoons, sitting outside in the shade while watercoloring. I can’t thank YOU enough, Kathy!! ♡
