Hello Friends! Welcome to DAY 2 of The 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I am so excited to bring you a Blog Hop featuring some very talented artists and friends. I know that each designer will wow you today with their talent … that was my plan to give you all a huge hit of inspiration for Day 2. (I have so many amazing friends that are colorists and I plan to feature more of them in the future.)
Not only will you be inspired but, I have a very special coupon code from Online Card Classes & a sweet giveaway at the bottom of my post! To start at the beginning of the hop click HERE to go to one of the most amazing people I know Jennifer McGuire.
Today I have my first interactive card combining three stamp companies. I wanted to feature each stamp company that is in the hop today. The background was stamped with WPlus9 “Amaryllis” stamp and watercolored with some pencils and a dove blender marker (to help blend the colors) . I am so in love with this “Loads of Fun” stamp set from Lawn Fawn. It was super fun to combine Simon’s “Stacking Animals” as a fun element in my card. The “New Beginnings” yoga girl I colored during my last challenge and I was so happy she found a home today lol.

Finding a good spot for a sentiment is always a challenge for me. Sometimes with desperation an idea is born. It’s super easy to create a pull out sentiment by cutting a slit in your base layer. Various ink was added with a rag to get a realistic texture to the towels in the laundry basket.
Go HERE to read more about the 30 Day Coloring Challenge and here if you want to see how I prepared. If you want to share what your creating go to DAY 1 and scroll to the bottom of the post. You will find a blue Inlinkz tab to link up your coloring.
Below is the hop line up in case you come across a broken link. Please take the time to give some love to my friends. They are so busy and just wanted to support me and to inspire you today.

I could seriously use the Copic class for beginners but I learn a lot by watching as I did this morning. A win, win!
I have to say, ALL of your designers today (and their products) are my favs that I follow regularly, this was a real treat, they were all in the same “place” for me to follow at once…
Thanks for sharing your amazing talents and ideas ladies! Much appreciated!

HELLO! I love it! I have a really hard time cleaning my craft space, because I get inspired when there’s lots of stuff out and I start seeing new ways to put things together. I thought I was an anomaly, but I think you might be this way too. My beautiful daughter-in-love is an artist, but she gets a vision for something and how she wants to do it, then collects her supplies and starts. Funny how we are all wired so different, but have so much to share. Thanks.
Marcie Lovett says
I try to color a few times a week because I enjoy it and I was so looking forward to the challenge. I can’t believe I got so busy yesterday that I forgot to color! I am determined to get some color fun in every day for the rest of the month. Thanks, Kathy!
Ceal says
Love your card and the Coloring Challenge, I just finished this amazing hop, thanks for making it happen!
conil says
Let’s just say I’m suitably impressed. All the details…who looks that serene while doing laundry…not this chick. But the card is so stinking adorable, I can’t stand it.
Gloira Lee says
Wow!
It is awesome video and blog hop is so funny!
NC_Donna says
Hello! I always love to see how the different artists minds work! Incredible stuff!

As always, your coloring is superb, Kathy! And, what a fun card you put together. I would never have thought to put those various images together. Clever girl.

So happy for the coloring challenge again. I think you were on number 2 when I first started watching you and all your talented friends!

Lisa Haines says
Another Beauty!! Love love love you for doing this!
Carolyn Steele says
Hello Kathy! I do believe you have started a movement with your 30 Day Color Challenges! It is a wonderful thing to promote stress reduction through creativity. It’s so good to get a few minutes of calm, alone time every day no matter how hectic things are. All your friends along the hop have created amazing art. They are an inspiration (ok and the projects are a tad intimidating). I would love to win the Copics class. I have several Copics but could use advice on which to buy to really start coloring with them. Sorry so long – thanks!
Gemma Campbell says
Such a fun card! Enjoying the blog hop and all the inspiration

Awesome card. Love your coloring as well as the card’s design.
Susan Egan says
Clever card. I do like watching someone else fuss with placement. What was the liquid you patted on the laundry after it was colored? I looked on the list of supplies and couldn’t find it. I tried to listen a couple of times to what you say and just couldn’t catch it. Thanks.
Kathy Racoosin says
Thanks so much 🙂 It’s called Various Ink something something lol. Here is a link

Thanks for watching sorry I didn’t make it clear.
Karen P says
So excited! Trying so hard to play along this time!!! Btw, I finally bought some colorless blender solution after seeing all the cool texture you are able to get. I can’t wait to play with it. I’ve been saving it for the challenge 🙂 I don’t mind taking the time to play and color… it’s the time it takes to take the photos, write the blog post, edit… ugh. I don’t know how y’all do it all the time!
Varada says
Oh wow. What lovely card and such fun blog hop! You are rocking it, Kathy!! Thanks so much for all the love you have put into this challenge!!

Farika K. Pramastij says
What a fun card! Love the background 🙂
bev p says
I was sure I had commented, but couldn’t find it, so here goes again. (After the hop!) I love your card and I love your creativity, and I love that you are as frustrated with computer ‘stuff’ as I am. I would love to share some of what I am learning, even though there are tons of people better at it than I am, but can’t make myself desire to learn how on a computer that’s been back to the manufacturer twice in less than a year. Still, there’s this element of “Look what I made!” to consider. I also heard from one of your hoppers that you are really funny! It doesn’t surprise me, and I am waiting for it to come out more in your videos! Hang in there: you have a loyal following who love you.
Isabel Z says
I am so happy to have found your blog because one of my goals this year is to learn how to color. I stick to stamping because coloring/shading intimidates me but you have inspired me. Thank you.
Kathy Racoosin says
Welcome Isabel! I’m thrilled you are joining in on the fun. You can always use my blog for additional inspiration and techniques. Enjoy and have fun for you. 🙂
Cathy Homan says

I haven’t really tried much coloring with Copics yet. I have all the Spectrum Noir markers, but I’m not a big fan of coloring. I do absolutely love water colors though, and I took the online watercolor for card makers class. Fabulous! I’d love to take this next watercolor class!
Lisa says
I just started making cards, and have been intrigued about watercolor. I saw the online classes and am a little intimidated. I think I’m just going to have to do it!
Kathy Racoosin says
I don’t think you will have one regret and for the money…it’s so worth it and you will love the content. lol can you tell I am a fan 🙂
Nancy Lynn Kenny says
Kathy, I am a fairly new card maker and want to thank you for all you have done for our wonderful community and for this fun and important “30 Day Coloring Challenge”. We all go through tough times and one way of getting through it all is creating – it connects our minds to our souls.
Your card is absolutely fab Kathy and I love the background with the vellum on top. You are one amazing colorist Kathy!
janice_moss60 says
Leaving you some much deserved love for your beautiful card! I did sign up for the watercolor for card makers but didn’t realize it was the first one and not the current one. More than excited to take this one but the discounts have all expired.
Kathy Racoosin says
Hi Janice, Sorry about that I should have specified more clearly the difference. Are you referring to the expired discounts on the current class? Sorry just want to be sure. Thanks 🙂
Patt H. says

SUPER CUTE, FUN & FABULOUS card Kathy, LOVE your colouring and interactive sentiment!!!

I have LOTS I NEED to try in my quest to colour better => THANK YOU EVERYONE 🙂
PS – please don’t include me in your prize draw, it really is a wonderful prize, but I think I am a long way from being good enough for a class and think that I should practice and get more familiar with the goodies in my stash first.

Thanks for the fun blog hop Kathy!! Lots of inspiration in there! I was having a hard time commenting on some; I think we may crash the system, LOL! Thanks again for all your hard work!
Gail Plaskiewicz says
Hey Kathy! I keep forgetting to tell you that my middle sisters name is the same as yours but she spells it Kathie or I should say my mom spelled it that way on my sisters birth certificate. I didn’t know you and Jen were buds. How cool is that? Loved your card by the way. Do you know what it reminds me of? A fortune cookie! I love how you combined stamps from all those sets and made that great card and had the sentiment pop out of the washer like a fortune cookie. I’ll bet you never thought of a fortune cookie, did you? I also love all the colors and how the red pops out. I would not have thought of making it red but you did. I might just have to sign up for the Copics class even though I really can’t afford it. If I don’t sign up, I am going to think my Copics are just like every other marker I have ever had and right now I am thinking that. I want to learn to make my cards like you and my on-line friends have using Copics and making my cards not look like I just used some random markers. Hope you like the photo I posted.
Susan G says
Kathy, I am crazy about this card. It is just about the cutest, ever. Great coloring, of course. I love watching your videos, you make the coloring look effortless. Thanks for all you do to encourage the rest of us. And thanks for the generous giveaway. Looking forward to another thoroughly enjoyable 30 day challenge.

Love the idea of a 30 day coloring challenge…,sorry I missed the beginning days.!
Kathy Racoosin says
Don’t be sorry Amy you can jump in any time and you don’t need to back track at all 🙂
Rebecca Griffith says
Hello,Kathy Your little “Stamping Bella ” mousey girl is just the cutest! Plus you are making want to try Copics ! I have a limited set of the Spectrum Noir,but you have made me rethink things.
Kathy Racoosin says
Hi Rebecca!! You if you want my advice make the switch slowly as your budget allows. 🙂 Sorry just have to be honest
Janine says
This was such a great blog hop! And I love your card and how you combined so many different elements and sets….who would have thought yoga and laundry, stacking animals, and botanicals would look so good together!
Sylvia says
The little mouse is so sweet. Thanks for great video.
Karen austin says
Lovely card it’s raining here in Ohio so it looks like a card day to me
Jody T says
HI Kathy. I just signed up for the Copics class. So far it is great. I would have to buy watercolors in order to take the other class. Fun giveaway!
Jo Ann D. says
Such a fun card. You are amazing!
Rebecca Kaufmann says
Love the card and all the ways you used the different stamps!
Rushd Lady says
They say that the mother of invention is necessity! grin! I love how that sentiment just rolls out of the dryer — at least it’s not like tissues that somebody forgot to remove from a pocket. . .Love your cute card! It made me smile!
Angela W says
Hello! That’s quite a card you created! Your style is unique!
Natalie H says
This is always so fun to participate and be inspired, too!! Thanks Kathy!
Paulette S. says
Hi Kathy!! Great interactive card. They are the most fun! And people love getting them too. Loved the hop. Thanks so much! I have loved using iMovie after you shared that with me on the last 30 day. I really have a love/hate relationship with Apple and my ipad, Google/YouTube/Capture App. We were looking at newer ipads and AT&T told us we qualified for 2 new LG G Tablets running Android 10.1, for $10/mo. for 24 mos. and we were all in. I’m at a loss of what editing program I need. Any suggestions from Android users are welcome. I hope everyone is getting timet o play~
Vivien Lee says
I love the coloring and layering. Please keep producing more great videos!

I really really love colouring but i am not at all good at it… Hope i will get inspired by you all and try to colour each day…:) Thank you this fun challenge…
Kathy Falk says
I loved the card today featuring the 3 different stamps. The dryer from Lawn Fawn I think, I’m not sure where the critters are from but they were so cute and the yoga girl from SSS. Love your challenge. It is just what I need. I have a tendency to collect stamps rather than actually stamp. That is my goal this year. To use each set that I get at least one time.
Pam Hammarlund says
WOW!! You are amazing Kathy and an inspiration to us all!! I LOVE the online classes and would love to win the watercolor one!!! Thank you for your kindness, and sharing your talent with all of us!!
Patsy Hattori says
Your card is super and I always learn something new from you.
maria f. says
So great of you to do this – I’m a scared chicken when it comes to coloring with Copics. Maybe this can motivate me to give it a daily try.
Sabrina Radican says
Omg!!!! Your Card is just simply amazing! You wow me every single time! I wish I could join in your challenge now but unfortanly my son-in-law was admitted into the hospital in Reno and put on a ventilator. They still don’t know what is wrong. But once we get back home I most definitely will be joining in!
Pam B says
Beautifully colorful, fun card!
Marlene says
Fun card! Can’t wait to see the video and check out what the other designers have done – love the sentiment idea !! Thanks for the chance to play : 0

I am so glad I found you and I might not have, if it weren’t for Jennifer McGuire. This is such a fabulous card, and the coloring is out of this world and at the stamps are unique and fun. How wonderful that you are offering a chance to view one of these classes. I plan on following you daily and This is such a great topic for your 30 day challenge. It’s
something I have a lot to learn about. Thank you and please to meet you!

Kathy, you amaze me. I started following your blog in November, hoping to participate in some of the 30 day coloring challenge. I even when to Starbucks and got two of the fall cups (I don’t drink coffee, so I’ve never been in a Starbucks). The cups are still waiting for me to color and use them. I am hoping to participate this month!!

Hello. Thanks for reminding me that you do NOT have to use just one type of media on a card. I am working on a birthday card scene and have used pencils, markers and a touch of wink of stella – but had I not seen your card, I don’t think I would have got out the pencils. Thanks so much

Hi there! I’m a newbie to your blog… Visiting from Simon Says Stamp.
I love the premise of the 30 day coloring challenge! I’m a big colorer, and not always for craft creations…. There’s always markers and coloring sheets stashed in my desk at work for those slow meetings and phone calls.
Looking forward to exploring your site more.

A lot of hugs!!!
