Hello Friends! Happy weekend to you. Quick question … Did you get my Day 1. post in your inbox? If not click here to see it. Sorry about that and will have to figure that out. On another note it’s Day 2. of the coloring challenge and I am so glad you are reading this! Woo Hoo!
Today I have a sneak peek to share of a class I will be teaching this month in Toronto. It was such an honor to be asked to teach at the Scrapbook & Cards Today Crop & Create. If you are going please let me know I would love to meet you! The Scrapbook & Cards Today retreats sell out so fast! If you have interest in the future retreats you might want to register on their web site if you aren’t already.
I would love to see you in one of my classes. Above is the peek of my class called, “Take Three”. Below is the peek of my class called “Sharp Tips”. I am pretty emphatic about a sharp pencil … hence the name lol.
Birds I love and gravitate towards any stamp that features a bird. When I saw these beautiful Snow Birds from Gina K. Designs I fell in love immediately. During the last coloring challenge I inked them up here. The backgrounds were watercolored with the Altenew Watercolor Brush Markers on this paper. The Snow Birds were stamped with Amalgam Ink from Gina K on 110lb cardstock. (the ink can be used for watercolor or markers…YES!)
After coloring the snow birds with markers I added colored pencil detail … with a sharp tip! If you want good results I promise that sharp tip makes a difference!
To finish of my card I used some of Lucy’s sequins. I love her mixes because of the color & size variations.
Off to see what you all are coloring and I am super excited. Have a great weekend and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

Bobbie Lathrop says
Couldn’t really see much of the birds so it’s hard to really make an honest comment Kathy. The background colors from what we could see were nice and bright.

I am just seeing this e-mail for the first time. I didn’t get this one, I clicked on the link in another e-mail to get to this page. That is the first time that every happened.
I’m not seeing a lot on this page but what I am seeing I like. I always like everything you do. Can’t wait until I can post something!
Lagene says
Beautiful bird tags!
Teresa Doyle says
These are very tantalizing peaks Kathy but I am happy to see them just the same. I am really curious to see the first one you’ve shown at the top, I love it already.
Side note: For some reason I am not getting your posts so I am back-tracking on the blog in case you wonder why I am posting so randomly. LOL
