Hello Friends, Welcome to the Waffle Flower Coloring Fun Blog Hop! I have been so excited about this super fun blog hop!! To start at the beginning click here. Today I have two cards for you and a video! You know I love to color so I have a waterCOLORED card and a copic colored card (w/video).
The Waffle Flower stamps sets are super fun to ink up and create adorable little scenes with. For this card I combined “Willy & Friends” and “Tiger & Lily” stamps sets. I used some white spray to get that “salty water ocean spray” look on my watercolored background and waves.
A bright white watercolor paper is always my preference and I used some distress ink to watercolor everything. A stitched circle was popped to create some dimension and a window. Glossy accents were added to the edge of the bandanna and that sharp knife!
Using this small ink I was able to control where to place the ink. I left a spot off so that I could turn the oval into a talk bubble. In the un-inked open area just add a “v” and you have a talk bubble. ( I prefer not to ink the entire stamp and wipe some off because I always end up with a shadow so to avoid this I like to ink up part of the stamp.)
Time only permitted for an “un-edited” video so if you are NOT keen to them please don’t watch. Last time I got a lot of thumbs down and that’s so discouraging. 🙁 BUT I know so many of you like them so I try to give you all a happy medium 🙂
To watch the video in HD click here.
Creating a mini card with a stitched square is quicker and oh so fun. I drew on some thin little eyelashes with a super fine tip marker.
Lots of glossy accents some of the various ink solution …love how it adds so much texture to the images.
NOW FOR THE Giveaway!
A $50 Gift Certificate to waffleflower.com is up for grabs! How sweet is that 🙂
The winner will be drawn from comments left on all of the blogs in the hop. Enter by midnight, Sunday July 12. The winner will be announced on WF blog on Monday July 13.
Now it’s time to hop to the talented Tessa Wise here. Thank you for your visit today and have a lovely weekend. Hugs, Kathy

Rebecca REynolds says
Great card Kathy! I liked the unedited version because it shows the process of thinking it through. Sometimes when I recreate a card from an edited video, my process takes so long and I just wonder what is wrong with me and why is it not running so smoothly? LOL. Don’t sweat the negative comments. People just get in a hurry and you warned them that it was unedited. They forget that they have a choice and can turn it off. Keep creating and sharing!

Guess what, if people don’t like unedited videos then don’t watch and SHUT UP! Forget the unkind remarks. The fact that you’re willing to share your talent and knowledge, is a gift. Those people are ungrateful s&$ts! Please don’t change how you do these. That’s part of their charm and, since it’s a tutorial, the learning experience. Enough of my rant, These cards are so fun and beautifully colored.

The eye shadow on the monkey and the coloring is perfect! Love the cards!

Lynne in NI says
Cool card, love your effect with the white spray 🙂
Karen P says
Love both cards but my favorite is definitely the shark!!! And people who thumbs down a video just suck. Why can’t people just close the dang window?!? I notice you often say “I always…” when talking about techniques or color combos. I apparently need to color a whole lot more cause I haven’t done enough to figure out what I “always” do 🙂 Envious of the time you have spent just playing.

Wow Kathy, you have highlighted these stamps perfectly. I can’t decide which I like best Copics or Watercolour. They’re both brilliant. I second all the wonderful comments that have been left by others, you really are a wonderful inspiration. I am always amazed at the negative whether its a written comment or a thumbs down button, there are so many negative people in our lives. Those that are always the half empty type, you just need to remember that there’re more of us the glass is half full type who love whatever you are willing to share with us.

Kathy, I am so sorry that you received some negative comments but trust me when I say that I am grateful for you and all the other card divas that go to the trouble and work of doing a video and posting it! I loved your colored image and that tip with the blending solution is AWESOME! Oh, and “way to get back on the horse” so to speak and never never let anyone bring you down. Here’s a great quote of wisdom: “how others treat me is their path. How I respond is mine”. I got that quote from GKD and it is so true. Keep up the great work girl!

Hey there, Kathy! I’m giving you a thousand thumbs up for not only this video but ALL your videos.

YOU ROCK, my friend, and I had to come by and tell you that! Love ya! XOXO
Barb S says
Love those monkeys. They are so darn cute. Can’t wait to play around with them.
Janet says
The UNedited videos are so helpful…gives the benefit of understanding your thought process, how to embrace “mistakes” as happy accidents and so on. And besides, I’d much prefer an unedited video to none at all. Thanks to you, I’ve begun looking at my stamps and supplies in a whole new light. I enjoy the relaxation of playing with them and the surprise of finding out what can happen, rather than just focusing on finishing a card. Huge thanks!
Lora says
I don’t see why anyone would give you a thumbs down just because you didn’t edit the video. You seem like a most wonderful lady and you have a calming, soft voice. The unedited video also let’s us get to know you a little more personally because yout are completely real and sharing a ltitle part ofor your life with us. Don’t you worry about those negative people, they aren’t worth the time it took them to click that thumbs down button.
Lora says
I am so sorry about the typos! My phone was having fits.
ES 2421 says
My daughter and I loved your video…don’t know why you’d edit this even if you had time!! We love your videos–techniques, great ideas, bright color, and you always seem so…nice! We’re moving backwards through your videos and learning a ton!
