it’s “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” Blog Hop! AND A CHANCE TO WIN!!

Welcome to “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” Blog Hop. Kathy Racoosin from The Daily Marker wants to share her love of coloring with you. Today Kathy has assembled a blog hop to give your creativity a jump start with some of her favorite stamp companies & Online Card Class co owners.

The premise of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is to color something everyday even if it’s for five minutes. (However feel free to  jump in or out as time permits). Any coloring medium is welcomed. Click here to find out where to share what you are coloring and join the encouraging community of happy colorists PLUS answers to other questions you may have.

To start at the beginning of the hop go to The Daily Marker.  If you are coming from the blog of  Neat & Tangled you are in the right place. Kathy has the full list if you encounter a broken link.

Mixing stamps from other companies can be a win win. Kathy used one of our beautiful women, ALMOST ELLA,  from the Danielle Donaldson collection, and paired her with Concord & 9th butterfly stamp to make a fun and artistic card.  Watercoloring with Tombow watercolor markers is something Kathy always considers relaxing.

 

Adding a some detail with a white gel pen and paint splatters finishes the card off. Kathy decided to add a last minute bow tied around her neck…. since a choker is in fashion right now. 🙂 Check out the other ladies in this beautiful collection.

The next company on the hop is Paper Smooches. 

GIVEAWAYS: During  the hop you will find lots of giveaways along the way.  The full list of ALL  winners from the individual blogs will be announced on The Daily Marker Sunday March 12th.

  250. Love your images. Loved the way you can easily change the look of the girl by using different style for her make up.

  251. I wanna be Kathy when I grow up! She makes the most of every image she colors and is my coloring role model. She did a magnificent job with the Stamping Bella stamp and then combining it with a Concord & 9th stamp. They look like they were made to go together (another of her many talents).

  253. DELIGHTFUL card!
    LOVE the image image combo, LOVE the colours, background & dimension too!
    THANK YOU for sharing and INSPIRING … NEED to go channel my inner Kathy right now 🙂

  254. Kathy is the best! I have learned so much from her, Just watching her keep working the butterfly was just amazing! I would have stopped a lot sooner, but I loved how she kept going back and adding more color here and there and all over. That’s what makes her so Kathy! It would be beyond relaxing for me to fuss that much, but it also pushes me to try new things!

  257. I love what you did to make her stand out. Thank you again for the coloring challenge. I always forget how therapeutic even 5 minutes of coloring can be. Your challenges help me be thoughtful about devoting the time.

  259. What a fun image combination! I just love the vibrancy and brightness of the colored images too!

  271. This is such a creative way to use both stamp sets. You are helping me think outside of the box! Thanks!
