Hello Friends, How is your long weekend going? If you are from Texas my heart goes out to you & my prayers are with you.
Did you have time to check out the blog hop yesterday? Talk about inspiration and lots of giveaways.
Have you noticed or seen Simon Says Stamp watercoloring cards? I love the fun illustrations and I love not stamping sometimes. (this particular set is sold out but, there are so many more)
Every time I travel I pack up my Zig markers, a palette, rag and some of my watercoloring cards. You can see all of them here. (The images are on Tim Holtz bright white watercolor paper and there is a pack for every occasion).
Part of this was watercolored on an airplane and I was able to finish it today.
Zig markers are so bright and bold and I am finding them easier and easier to color with. (I will have a video soon)
Thanks for popping by today and see you tomorrow AND HAPPY COLORING. Hugs, Kathy

I’d love to sit near you on an airplane and watch you color! Can’t wait to see your video on coloring with Zigs as I struggle with my Zigs so I use them sparingly. The flowers are just gorgeous and I love the addition of the white dots and the black outline.
Donna Rinckel says
I love how you add those special touches of white to make the flowers pop. Your coloring is just so stunning!

Beautiful! I love the coloring cards no matter where I am, but I rarely travel without them because they are so portable! I haven’t tried my Zigs on them yet, and need to do so because I love the look you got using them!

Hi Kathy, I DID see Suzy’s water colouring cards and they are amazing!I take a pack of them with me also when I am going to be anywhere that I have time to kill. Love them! I was away yesterday at our cottage so I took my colouring with me and enjoyed my afternoon completely. I did the hop today and I am hoping the month goes slow as there is so much inspiration to be had in the crafty world this month and so a lot to keep up with.
I hope you are having a wonderful time on your road trip!
Billie Lamb says
You are amazing and I love the colors you have used. They blend so well and look so real.
Beautiful combinations. Look forward to seeing more.

Marianne says
Fun card! I’m trying to play with different colouring mediums so that I will become more comfortable with each of them. But today, I think I will continue colouring the free STAMPlorations colouring page that I started yesterday using coloured pencils. I even created an IG account (cretancrafter) so that I could share my colouring samples.

pretty colors!
Sheri K says
Beautiful cards Kathy, I wish you had been flying with me yesterday! I just arrived home from a trip to Banff National park and flew in 2 tiny airplanes, with no room for the legs! No coloring done yesterday with all the travel and I plan to do some this evening. I also didn’t get to do your hop yesterday so plan to try to fit that in today, among the laundry and unpacking.
Kathy Racoosin says
Ack good luck Sheri … take a deep breath and your coloring can always wait. Nothing worse than those tiny planes 🙂
Lisa T says
Super pretty Kathy! I do love these cards, as you say, sometimes you just want to colour and not worry about stamping. I find it quite hard to use my zigs on them, they take a while to blend and are definitely more suited to smaller images. But perfect for a plane journey! Thank you for sharing, Lisa x
Pamela Elliott says
Hard to believe you did some of the coloring on a plane! You are GOOD!
Joanne Travis says
Another gorgeous creation! Love the white gel pen highlights.
Billie A says
Love the bold beautiful colors and your white pen and black outline work is always a great finish touch.
Marisela Delgado says
Hola, Kathy-

Michelle Boatman says
Hi Kathy,
You are a breath of fresh air, I’m from Dickinson, TX where we received 50″ of rain and my husband, myself and my cats swam out of our house, literally swam, no touching the ground! I normally watch you, Jennifer and Kristina faithfully but I’ve been pre-occupied for the last 2 weeks. Thank you for sharing your talents with me, I truly enjoy every one of them and get excited when I see notifications that you’ve updated your blog or video.
Love and Hugs from Texas
Michelle Boatman
Kathy Racoosin says
Oh Michelle, that sounds terrifying! I’m so happy you and your family are safe! Thinking of you!
Francine says
Did you say colored on an airplane? You used markers right? In my head in thinking watercolor You don’t wAtercolor on an airplane, right?
TracyM #6773 says

I confess to having an addiction to my Copic markers but these Zigs are on the top of my list to try as soon as I can 🙂
Tara Prince says
