Hello friends. Welcome to Day 17 of the 30 Day Coloring Challenge. Today I’m taking part in Winnie & Walter’s 2nd Birthday Bash! I hope you will help me wish Winnie & Walter a very happy Birthday!
I was inspired by Gayatri’s challenge at Winne & Walter HERE since I love making backgrounds. I’m using the adorable new bird stamps from Winnie & Walter that will be released on February 26th. How cute is this little bird! Oh my LOVE!
You really don’t need a lot of markers to have an impact on a card. You could also color these cuties with “regular” markers and put a layer of vellum on top.
I couldn’t get enough of the birds so I created a bonus set of cards with the perfect white ink and some kraft cardstock.
Using a dauber to add the ink with the stencil was quick and easy. The bird and hat were popped for added dimension with some foam tape. Don’t you love how a few white dots can add that little something extra? I colored the inside of the “love” sentiment with a white gel pen.
I used a little Various Ink with a rag for some added texture on the birds.
Now how about a giveaway! Wahoo!

Thanks for showing the little birds before you cut them out. Shows how simple it is to color things sometimes. Of course, I don’t like to fussy cut! (Or was that a die?) Loving it. I was just looking at one of my stamps a minute ago and thought it would make a fun background. Great minds…..?
Beautiful cards Kathy!! Love the coloring on the birds in the background!!

Kathy! This bird is too cute! I love how you colored him with the soft colors and I think I have enough soft colors to try this technique!! So stoked, I’ll try to squeeze this in tonight. Thank You for the 30 Day Color Challenge and Thank You to Winnie And Walter for the chance to win some of their fun products as I don’t have any yet…
These cards are so cute!!
Aaaaacchhhhhhhhh! ALL of those birdies are so stinkin’ CUTE! I like them both as a background and as the focal point popped up on foam tape. Thank you, W&W, for the generous offer, and you, Kathy, for another wonderful coloring example.
These are gorgeous Kathy! I love how your background is so soft and it almost looks as though you are looking through a sheet of vellum. Very cool!
these little birdies are so sweet!! I love both cards!!
These birds are too adorable! Cuteness overload! Great cards!
Love the softness of the first one. And other cards are so cool! White and Kraft backgrounds look great with a colorful and bright bird!
Wow Kathy, just when I think your coloring skills can’t get anymore impressive you always prove me wrong! These cards are absolutely amazing!
Your cards are beautiful! I hope you don’t get tired of hearing how impressed I am with your colouring! Love those little extra details you add. Hoping it will soon become second nature to me. I am still joining you in colouring each day – 17 for 17 so far – just need to link up today’s colouring. I think I’m getting better with my Zigs. Thanks for another awesome giveaway! I am new to this company so this is a fantastic prize!
This is the cutest stamp I have seen in a long time. Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Both your cards are so fantastic! I adore the second one with the 1 little bird and LOVE sentiment!
I just love these
These birds chirp spring!!!!
Amazing! I thought you had used vellum to start off with! Amazing! Christine x
Love these birds! So cute…especially the ones you added the hats to =)
I’m going to have to get those cute little birds. Thanks for sharing.
Just amazing work Kathy.
Thanks for showing the grey coloring with copics. If you ever have time I would love to see more neutral coloring and maybe even a comparison with different copic neutrals. When do I use toner color? WhT is the difference in copics between toner and neutrals?
I love how you list the copics…so thankful for that! This set is ADORABLE, and I wanted you to know I appreciate the time and effort it takes to do this challenge. Thank you so much!! <3
I am loving all the new stamps I am seeing on all the sites but my problem is I’m not a Kardashian and I haven’t won lotto yet! I need to be able to afford all the stamps I want to buy. Why do they all have to look like they will all be so much fun to use and have? LOL
That being said, and I am glad I got that off of my chest, is how much I love the card you made. I love how one looks exactly like the other. That bird is so adorable! I don’t have those color copics because I don’t use them very often so I can’t practice doing that but I like how you did that. However, I do have markers in those colors so maybe I could practice with them? You did a great job as usual!
I posted another card. This was a Valentine’s Day card for my parents from Dover Publications. I downloaded it and used markers, glitter markers which I totally love by the way, colored pencils and chalk pencils. I used a Copic in one place and it bled. The white paper isn’t card stock. I didn’t use any more of them. You’ll also I didn’t color all of it. I was debating if I should color what I didn’t and I decided it didn’t need to be colored. The more I look at it, the more I see I was right. I love how it came out and my parents loved it too.
I meant to say however, I do have colored pencils in those colors, not markers.
What great cards! Love those images!
Love your amazing card! Those birds are so adorable. Can’t wait for the full reveal!
Now those are some pretty cute birds! I love them!
Thank you Winnie and Walter! What an adorable bird…love the way you’ve colored them.
I love this one! I haven’t been able to “take 5” for quite a few days, but after tomorrow, I should have more time and am anxious to be able to get inky! I’m feeling so inspired! Thank you for connecting so may artistic talents!
Kathy you do amazing work and though I am not at your height, I am getting better because of these challenges!! Thank you for the tutorial too! Love the birdies especially!
Fantastic cards both of them! Thank you so much for all the inspiration!

Sweet birds on both cards and love the soft colouring. I saw these cards on the W&W blog and loved them.
Oh my goodness are these birds cute or what. The bird you used on the front of the card looks like a cute version of our cockatoos, native to Australia. They are no way as cute as these. Love how you have done this card front.
Love the beauty and simplicity of the card. Thanks.
So so lovely!! <3
