Today I'm thrilled to be joining my friend Kathy Racoosin as she kicks off her 10th coloring challenge! She started yesterday on June 1, and the challenge will run through the end of the month. And she's done it ten different times now! How amazing is that? She inspires the crafting community to take a break from the crazy and just spend ten minutes relaxing and coloring, each and every day. I love that so much! So you should have arrived here by way of the Stamping Bella blog - if not, head back to The Daily Marker to start at the beginning!
For Kathy's challenge, there is no need to make what you color into a finished card - it's just about the coloring. But of course you're welcome to make cards! So this is the card I made, after coloring a pretty new background stamp from Hero Arts.
I stamped Blossoms for Coloring Bold Prints in Versamark ink on black cardstock, and white heat embossed. Then I got to work with my Chameleon colored pencils. I love using these - I'm not a coloring genius like Kathy, and it makes it to easy to blend as two colors that go great together are together on one pencil! But I didn't even do much blending on this - the color itself pops so much on the black paper. For some colors I put white down first and then went over it with the color. I love the look!
I finished the card by adding a message from the Peonies stamp set (which, by the way, is another fun one to color!), and mounted the panel on a Snow folded card.
I'd love for you to try coloring this fun background, too! I have two cling backgrounds to give away today, both from the recent Hero Arts Summer Release - Blossoms for Coloring and Flowers for Coloring! I'll draw two winners from the comments to receive one of these stamps! Please leave your comment on this post by next Saturday, June 9 at midnight.
Now let's hop! I'm so honored to be a part of this amazing list of stampers & craft companies! From here you should be heading over to my amazingly talented friend Lydia's blog, Understand Blue. I'm sure she'll be knocking your socks off with something!
