Ok now back to our regularly scheduled program.

KathyRACabella coloured something up for us today.. it’s totally YUMMALISH!

Here are the supplies Kathy used on her CHRISTMASBUG RUBBER STAMP and DIE BUNDLE set!

supplies:

Christmas Bug

Memento London fog

Glossy accents

Fantasia Artist premium colored pencils

Signs white gel pen

Wonderful Wednesdays with Kathy Racoosin- CHRISTMAS BUG STAMP and DIE set

Copic coloring is much faster but, I wanted to see what I could do with this beautiful and detailed stamp. I stamped the “Christmas Bug” with Memento London fog Ink. Starting at the top of my image and working my way down leaves less smudges on my project

Wonderful Wednesdays with Kathy Racoosin- CHRISTMAS BUG STAMP and DIE set

The sharper my pencil the better I can add shading. I just purchased a Kum Automatic Long Point sharpener and I love it. It probably would have been better to add the yellow halo around the lights first … I will try that next time.

Wonderful Wednesdays with Kathy Racoosin- CHRISTMAS BUG STAMP and DIE set

Taking a chance and coloring over the ornaments was probably a good choice and it saved some time.

Wonderful Wednesdays with Kathy Racoosin- CHRISTMAS BUG STAMP and DIE set

I used  a Signo Uni-Ball  white gel pen to add the ornaments back in since I covered them up. You can take a Copic marker to gingerly add color on the white gel accents. (Always test it on some scrap paper first especially if you have a different marker) I also added a white highlight with the gel pen to the lights. Then glossy accents were added to lights, ornaments, and the rims…is that what the inside of the tire is called lol.

 

on another note … It’s Day 16. of  “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” if you have been watching from the side lines or if you have been on the fence now is a good time to dip your toes in and see if you like it. 🙂 We would love to have you join.

it’s WONDERFUL WEDNESDAYS WITH…. KATHY RACOOSIN! and a chance to win!

Hiya sistahs!  This month we have another special guest !  Kathy Racoosin.. otherwise known as Kathy Rac otherwise known as The Daily Marker  on Instagram.

Today, Kathy features one of our amazing new releases, “CHICKADEER”

This is what our CHICKADEER STAMP AND BUNDLE SET LOOK LIKE..

Let’s see what the lovely and talented Kathy did with this image shall we?  You will be AMAZED!

Kathy stamped/coloured/ and die cut the image twice… and look what an amazing delicious adorable scene she created! I seriously CANNOT EVEN..

Wonderful Wednesdays With Kathy Rac on da blog- USING CHICKADEER rubber stamp!

The little extras on this card are super fun and easy. After coloring the chicks add some copic blending solution on to a rag …just until it’s damp, not to wet) I think you will love the texture that a nubby rag will add to your critters. Add dots to create more texture with your markers.

Using a super fine tip marker .03 you can add tiny details like eye lashes, eye brows and designs on the presents.

For the background I masked a circle and used distress inks fro draw the eye into the center of the card. The look was complete with a stencil on top of the distressed background.

Glossy accents were added to the noses.

Here’s a video sharing Kathy’s process!

and now for some more information on and about Kathy!

30daychallenge

Kathy LOVE’s to color and she’s in the middle of her 6th coloring challenge… “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge”.   This has become quite a “movement” if I do say so myself.  Sistahs take this challenge seriously and devote some crafty time every day to colour something up.  It’s SO much fun to participate in AND so much fun to scroll through the amazing posts and amazing talent out there!

Kathy says “This is a good time to jump in if you are new to the challenge, love to color or if you just want to get your feet wet and give the challenge a try. The idea is to color something daily with any medium. Just five minutes, that’s it. I keep hearing how relaxing it is to color and instead of making a full card. The 30 day challenge is really about carving out a little time your day for something that makes you happy. (You are free to jump in and out as time permits). Basically it’s any thing goes challenge and whatever you feel inspired to do.

There are several ways to share what you are coloring. If you want to join a community of coloring enthusiasts I recommend our new FaceBook group or Instagram. Be sure to use the hashtag #thedailymarker30day. (you can also link up your coloring on my blog)
