Hello Friends, How is your day going? Ack I am struggling to keep up with the challenge. I am leaving Thursday for a Road Trip and sooo much to do. Sorry if I am missing comments on my blog. I hope to read & catch up here when I get back.
It’s always rewarding to finish a project and I had such fun coloring this.
For this I drew a quick flower pot and turned the flowers right side up (rather upside down lol) to create a potted plant.
I love getting artsy and re-designing the petals on the flowers. Leaving lots of white and coloring circles or crescents on the tips of the petals is super easy and fun to add your own touches.
The flower on the right you can see is the first layer of color. This first layer of color was completed when I was on the airplane. I used E50, RV11 and YR27. Yesterday I finished the bird and today the flowers. Yay! What do you think of the redesigned petals?
My hope is you will look at your floral stamps a little bit differently. Don’t be afraid to try something different. Just go for it!
That’s it for today. Wish me luck packing and excited to see some of you. Hugs, Kathy

Thanks so much for being such an inspiration.

Love your card and your colouring is absolutely stunning. Have a fabulous road trip.
Love love love this idea !! To give something of ourselves to the stamped design ,give it our touch and make it stand out !
This is stunning! In awe of your talent!
What a big difference a pencil can make!!!! Love how this came out Kathy!
Truly wonderful! in love with your coloring!
I subscribed to your videos too!! Yay lol so I think I have all of my bases covered lol!! I can’t wait to join in on the challenges everyday I’m starting today’s right now and I’m looking forward to many more days to come. I’m planning on really focusing on my shading because that seems to be my problem spot.
❤️
Your redesigned flower is gorgeous! You had me trying to guess what type of flower it was.
This is beautiful! I love your own artsy touches that you’ve added.
The finished project is sooo beautiful. And, I love what you did with changing the stamps and adding your own “twist” with dots, etc. Just wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration. Please don’t stress, it will all be fine. We just appreciate what you do for us. Thanks.
I like your pot and I like adding stuff into my stamping projects too. Though I don’t find needing to adjust the flower petals as much as needing to add leaves. Maybe it’s just me and I like the fuller greener look.
Safe travels Kathy. I have this set and it never occurred to me to change it up. Think I have to now
Your piece is VERY WHIMSICAL, Kathy! QUITE FUN!!!! I’ll HAVE TO remember to try this! I’m STILL trying to catch up from the last challenge, when you said to try wall art! LOL I got everything, but need to cut what I got to do it on. THAT is what is holding me back. HOPEFULLY, I will nudge my hubby a bit more today to get that done for me! He’s SUCH A SUPPORT! 😉 SAFE TRAVELS DEAR LADY!!!! ;)<3
How fun that you are trying it! Whenever it happens! 🙂
Making your own mark on your work is a great chance to discover your individual style Kathy , such good advice and beautiful coloring ! Thank you ☺️!
What a clever idea to turn the flowers upside down! They look fabulous! Don’t stress about the commenting- as you tell us, it’s OK if we can’t do it every day! Just enjoy your time away!
This is sooooooo fabulous kathy!!!! Love!!!!
That is such a beautiful stamp set and your coloring is absolutely gorgeous.
I love this card! I like how the flowers look that way.
Simply lovely! Safe travels. I was at your Road Trip to Hero Arts. Since then I always use sharp pencils!
Brilliant alteration on the flower stamp! I never would have thought of the warm colours under the purples but it turned out beautifully as always. you’re a magician with colours.
I love how you added to the petals and upside righted the plant. Your posts have really shown me that I need to be braver in my creativity, what’s the worst that can happen. I have a plan for today’s challenge project, but tomorrow bravery is on my agenda.
This is turning out BEAUTIFULLY! I LOVE the flowers! JUST WOW!
Your coloring is so fantastic! I love how you have changed these images to make them your own.
Remember the challenge is supposed to be relaxing! 🙂 I love the flower petals. So beautiful!
Wow! The flowers look like they belong like that! Fabulous job!
This is so beautiful! My hope is that after I complete my holiday card “rush”, I can take the time to get braver with my coloring.
Gorgeous coloring Kathy. I hope you have a great road trip, we did one a few weeks ago.
My kids recommended using packing bags, helps keep your suitcase organized and keeps things sorted out. The link on your blog to post photos seems to be missing, says link party has ended.
This is so cool!!! I love this idea!! Thanks!!!
Lovely coloring!
Great job drawing the flower pot. Like the white edges to the flower. I don’t color flowers often but will try this when I do.
The petals look amazing!
Beautiful! Looking forward to meet you Friday on the Road Trip! I have so much to learn about coloring!
Such lovely colouring, smooth yet distinctive style!
Love your redesigned petals! Your are so talented!
I’m working on getting more adventurous with adding my own touches to stamps. I just don’t always have overly inspired ideas.
Wowza what a transformation! This looks absolutely amazing! Love what you did with the flowers!
Remember your advice to us…. it’s okay to miss a day 🙂 Beautiful coloring on this, Kathy!
Watching you do this in real time makes me really appreciate how much you put into what you do and that I am really rushing instead of savoring the process. Thank you.
Thanks for so much inspiration and so many ideas! Love the flowers and hummingbird!
So very pretty!
What incredible change to turn up your flower into the pot, absolutely so clever, stunning!
This looks STUNNING. I am amazed by the flowers.
Love what you have done with the stamps. You are so creative. Beautiful.
Beautiful work!
Love your artsy coloring on the flowers by adding fabulous details. Thanks for sharing.
Love the petals!! Your card is glorious!! I can believe you aren’t doing professional cards. But that hummingbird just has my heart!!
Love the gorgeous coloring!
Hummingbird bird is really eye catchy. & I love the way u colour flower petals shade effect…
What a wonderful surprise and encouragement. Adjusting your stamps to be more exciting. The coloring is superb. Hope you road trip works out well. I so appreciate your efforts to keep the coloring challenge going through the difficulties of travel.
Oh wow I love the detailing on your petals, I’m definitely going to give this a go (doubt they’ll look anything like yours though!)
I love how you’ve potted the flowers and customised them to look so different!
Who would ever think adding little details to flower petals would make them so rich and beautiful?! I love your coloring tutorials and wish you safe travels.
Such a pretty palette on this dainty floral, thanks for the video!
This turned out amazing… Love that hummingbird so much. Have a safe travel and meet lots of happy crafters who love you so much too!
Oh my goodness!!! Your colouring is simply breathless!!! Wow!
Enjoy your road trip! I love to see you color, and the challenge is all about enjoying it. Be safe as you travel and have lots of fun!
Kathy, you always blow me away. Your cards are always so beautiful that you make me want to give up on stamping. ha-ha Wow, how fabulous are you!
Wow – your florals are truly amazing! You are so amazing, thank you for taking the time to always comment and share your kindness! Safe trip!
This is such a funky way of taking a stamp & making it totally unique even though hundreds will have the same set, awesome idea. Good luck & safe journey with your road trip, am loving my extra ten mins of colouring time daily. It comes with the best excuse for the housework to have to wait, Kathy says I need to take at least ten minutes a day to work of my colouring ….. Thank you x

Awesome coloring, love the circles and crescents on the upturned flowers, brilliant design!
