Hello Friends, I hope you are having a colorful weekend. For Day 8. I have a quick post for you.
Simon Says Stamp just had an awesome new release! I don’t know how they keep coming up with great stamps and dies etc. over and over! Bravo SSS.
When I first laid my eyes on this gnome stamp set called, “Spring Gnomes” I couldn’t wait to color one of these cuties!
In the class I taught at Online Card Classes for only $20.00 is packed with a ton of videos and you have lifetime access to the videos. I took a deep dive in the class about how to finish an image. Adding a first layer of color … an underpinning with markers then adding pencil.
Enjoy your weekend and thank YOU for your visit. See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

Spectacular, blue is my favourite colour and you have used it perfectly. I think I might have to get this stamp set after seeing what you have done here.

Your card is so sweet. I have the new Lost Coast Designs gnome stamps. They are also cute so maybe I will have a go at some of your colouring tips. The effect of the pencil layers is awesome. Can’t believe it’s day 8 already. I just don’t seem to be colouring this month. Must try harder. Hugz

I love this technique. I’ve use it with my Polychromos ever since I saw you do it. I don’t like the white gaps in coloured pencil colouring and this sorts it out. Thank you for continued inspiration Kathy!
Kathy Racoosin says
Glad you are having fun with the pencils.

Gorgeous colouring Kathy, I love the new gnomes by SSS.
I just posted a card where the colouring is based on your technique, first a layer of marker and then colouring with coloured pencil on top.
Thank you so much for sharing, happy colouring and see you tomorrow.

What lovely coloring. Some of my children saw the shoes from yesterday and wanted to know if you could draw something on their Converses.
I love this gnome and I love seeing him holding the sweet little bird.

Gnomes are really a big deal, aren’t they? I see them everywhere & now I see one here. I like yours. Gnomes are kinda cute & I like the colors you did with yours.
I too am amazed when Simon Says & other stamp companies come up with new stamps or images for each month or season. I don’t know how they do it but I am sure glad they do. Sometimes there are so many new images that I want them all & that’s bad! LOL
I made 2 new cards & I will post them. I have other things to color but I haven’t done them yet. I also made some treats yesterday. Potato chips, peanuts, pecans & melted PB & chocolate chips. They are no bake. Can I send you some?
Kathy Racoosin says
You are so sweet. During this time perhaps there is someone near you who could use a pick me up?
Lee Miner says
Amazing that something can be absolutely adorable and really beautiful at the same time. But Kathy Racoosin can do it… I simply LOVE what you have done with this charming little guy.
Kathy Racoosin says
Thanks so much
