MIXED MEDIA COLORING
Hello Everyone, My name is Kathy from The Daily Marker and I am excited to be back on the Stamping Bell Blog today.
Tea cups, floral vintage dishes, crystal … all things I love to collect so when I saw this stamp called, “Edna’s CUP OF TEA” from Stamping Bella I just had to have it. I set out to create a card set of four but, things went a little south.
I stamped the image on Tim Holtz pre cut watercolor color paper and inked the stamp with black archival ink.
Notice two of the cards the tea cups are positioned differently. I was chatting and placed the paper in the wrong area in the misti but, fortunately it still worked. I was away at a retreat when I colored these sweet angels but, I managed to pull together a little video to show you how I painted the background with distress ink.
When everything was bone dry I added some shadows with my copic markers. Gasp I know and it might use a little extra ink but, it’s a time saver for me and it works well if I don’t go over the black line.
A little extra shading with a sharp tip colored pencil. Easy to control and just fun too.
Adding foam tape to my watercolored card panels gave my card some depth and more interest. Some white dots and lines with a white gel pen was the final touch. I hope you picked up a few tips today and thanks for your visit. Hugs, Kathy=

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.
