Day 24. Mermaid & a Giveaway!

coloring-challenge-e1467756060209

Hello Friends, What’s new? How does a GIVEAWAY sound for today … for Day 24 ? The giveaways will be rolling this week so stay tuned but, more on today’s giveaway at the bottom of this post 🙂

IMG_0041

A little airplane coloring today … I was so lucky to finally have some good light, a window seat and a row all to myself. HEAVEN! I used my trusty 0.03 Copic super fine tip marker to draw some scales on the mermaid.

IMG_0042

I die cut these sweet “Little Mermaids” from Waffle Flowers before I left. I took my stamps & my misi with me to stamp them and color them while I was away.

IMG_0043

It took only take tree colors to make these lil mermaids glow.

IMG_0044

When you color in multiples you find a better way to get the job done. In this case color the tails in a light color then add the scales. While you are at it don’t forget some eyelashes.

IMG_0045

…and some eyeshadow.

IMG_0046

The first two I colored more pastel and decided to try brighter colors. I am super excited to make six mini cards with these.

GIVEAWAY! TWO choc full goodie bags for two winners each containing a waffle flower stamp. 2 random winners will be announced when the challenge is over.

To qualify leave a comment .. you can just say hi. That’s it.

See you tomorrow for another giveaway. Hugs, Kathy

P.S. If you want to share what your creating go to DAY 1 and scroll to the bottom of the post. You will find a blue Inlinkz tab to link up your coloring.

    You are so amazing with your details. I’m learning to look at my stamps in a whole new way and how I can make them more interesting by adding lines/details. Noticed some of my old sets the other day that would be perfect for adding Zentangle lines….I bought them way before Zentangle got popular. You have opened my eyes and you are a wonderful teacher.

  39. Betty says

    OMG Kathie these monkies are so stinkin cute kinda funny although they remind me of my little sister Beckie. LOL I know your thinking that’s not nice but it isn’t meant as a put down really, my little sister used to climb the medal light post in our neighbor hood when she was younger. My Mom sat in her recliner one day and looked out and all I heard was a loud scream. There she was sitting on the arm where the light was and just waving at my mom, needless to say she was in major trouble and didn’t climb at least that post anymore. This would be the perfect stamp to send her a card lol. Thanks for putting up with these long comments but I just love sharing.

    Kathy – This challenge has been so much fun. Seeing all the cards etc that everyone has done is awesome. So much talent and all the ideas that are now in my head. What lovely stamps that are up for the giving. Thank you. As far as coloring, I have colored everyday, some of those days may have been hours and some may have been just 30 minutes. But I have managed to color every day. I remember sitting and coloring with crayolas and a coloring for hours as a child.

    Kathy, I have been following your blog for several months now. I love your artistic ability and cards that you make!! I truly love the 30 day coloring challenges that you develop!! I’m sure that it has taken a lot of behind the scenes work to put this together and it is very appreciated!! I have tried to color every day for at least 5minutes, but not everyday goes so well. Thank you for developing this challenge!! *** One question~ Does painting count. If so, I may be able to get my daughter involved.

    July 30, 2016 at 11:26 pm

    Tree colors? Would that be the brown color? LOL So you are like me, you hands type faster then you think, plus I have long nails that seem to hit the wrong keys sometimes. I never saw Mermaids that were monkeys before. That’s so cute! I love how you added lashes and scales on the mermaids and the eye shadow. I’ve done that a few times but when I see what you’ve done, I want to do it more often. You always do things I want to try and I will for sure. What a great card!
