Hello Friends, How are you today? Today is DAY 3. of the coloring challenge AND a sneak peek to a Watercolor Blog Hop hosted by Pretty Pink Posh.The blog hop officially opens tomorrow on June 5th, the hop will be open to YOU… You will be able to add your watercoloring to the PPP blog for a chance to win! Check out the Pretty Pink Post Blog for more info.prizes and inspiration.
Pretty Pink Posh’s Watercolor Hop fit perfect for my 30 Day Coloring Challenge and it was such an honor to be invited. I was hoping to wow you with a video (fingers crossed) and two cards.
It was so fun to create this jumbo butterfly card using some embossing powder and these watercolors. Did you happen to catch my shaped butterfly card using the same stamp? Click here to see it. Here’s a little snap shot of my shaped butterfly card.
Yes I love this butterfly lol.
The videos are divided up in 2 parts again. PART 1. is the background. PART 2. is the butterfly.
Watch Part 1. in HD here. Watch Part 2. in HD here.
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU… do you like the videos divided up so they are short?
I wanted to make a similar card with black ink instead of clear embossing power. The color moves differently on the paper w/ the black ink versus the embossed image. The embossing keeps the water colors more contained. If I want a quick bold sentiment I always reach for Paper Smooches, Bold Buzz Words.
Bold or more pastel-ish? I love what the large “Hello” does for my cards and it suits any occasion.
Off topic I just have to say WOW so many of you are blazing on Instagram and I am enjoying all of the uploads on my blog. You guys are inspiring me and thank YOU! Go here to read more about the 30 Day Coloring Challenge and 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.
Die cutting several layers is so worth the effort in my book and it enhances the card with more of a focal interest? What do you think? That’s it for today. See you tomorrow and thanks for your visit. Hugs, Kathy
Day 11. Stamping On A Paper Block
Day 13. It’s All About You Feature
Simon Says Stamp Celebrate You Blog Hop
I just love to see you work your magic, Kathy. I know you’re not a water colouring specialist, but to me the results are pretty awesome. I tried a little water colouring 2 days ago, but didn’t like the outcome, so I guess I need to practice a little more. Dividing up your videos works for me. It’s also nice to be able to come back and have another look at a particular stage of the card creation.

Marianne,
Thank you so much for your feedback regarding the videos being divided. Keep practicing and magic will come your way. Try different amounts of water with your watercolors and see if that helps.
Thanks 🙂
WOWZA Kathy…I LOVE your butterfly….and please girl! Not an Artist?? I beg to differ! Being an expert “colorist” definitely makes you an Artist!!
TFS (PS I see the sale of butterflies going up up and away!)
Dolly,
Thank you so much that means a lot. I hope you got your butterfly.
Thanks, Kathy
Beautiful cards! I really like how you cut the hello over the butterfly. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Thanks so much,
Kathy
I believe this is my favorite card so far. Butterflies are a special symbol to me and I was extremely inspired today by your video. Thank you so much! I also believe you don’t give yourself enough credit – you are an artist….just not a colorist. Beautiful!!
Thanks so much,
Kathy
Loving your cards and videos. I don’t mind a long video. Love watching you create x
Thanks good to know.
Kathy
Kathy this is AMAZING!!!!! Love the soft butterfly and how you did the hello so it is incorporated into the butterfly. THANK YOU for sharing your talent. I’m thoroughly enjoying your second 30 day coloring challenge. You are such an inspiration.
Thank you so much,
Kathy
BEAUTIFUL, Kathy, I love those big butterflies! I like working with embossed images to watercolor, makes it easier for me to “stay in the lines”. And 1 video or 2, doesn’t matter to me, I’m just very appreciative that you take the time to MAKE videos for us!
Thanks so much for your feedback. Embossing does make things easier.
Kathy
Awesome videos! I really like that you divided them up into smaller shows! I agree that the TH watercolor papers are amazing! TFS!
Thanks for your feedback,
Kathy
The die cut Hello, looks like Wind on the butterflies wings. great job
Thanks for sharing your visual interpretation.
Kathy
Honey I don’t care if the vid. Is long or short as long as I get it.I’m in love with the bold version.I think it really pops the color.Your right,beautiful stamp.
Thanks for your feedack,
🙂
Beautiful cards. Love the bold & black.
Thanks,
🙂
Fabulous video, Kathy, and it’s gorgeous! Both cards are amazing, and I LOVE the hello die popped on the card! Thank you!
Thanks,
🙂
Gorgeous, Kathy. I love the video’s divided up, but either way is inspiring. I really love watercoloring and hope to get more images done.
Thanks for the feedback,
🙂
Wow! Love seeing how you accomplish these beautiful cards!
Thanks 🙂
This card (white embossing) is so beautiful and I love the raised sentiment.
Thanks 🙂
Gorgeous card! I love your videos. If it’s easier for you to split them up, then do it. Either way, I watch them all!
Keep watching and thanks for your feedback and your enthusiasm. 🙂
KATHY YOU ARE AN ARTIST! YOUR WORK IS SO BEAUTIFUL! I REALLY ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS SO MUCH!
WOW! Awesome card! Love the butterfly stamp set and your watercoloring!
Wonderful coloring! I’m always so impressed! I’m really enjoying your coloring challenge and glad I get to participate this time!
Both cards are just beautiful, Kathy, but I especially like the one with the popped up “hello” die sentiment. I like your videos split up. Like so many crafters, I tend to get extremely busy so it’s good to be able to view your techniques in stages for me. Thanks for your inspiration!
Thanks Michelle that’s so great to hear and I appreciate you weighing in 🙂
Beautiful cards, love how you
made them all! I enjoy short
video’s but like the photo
guides more.
Carla from Utah
Love the way you made the die cut almost disappea into the background. Great technique.
Beautiful water colours!! I was playing with my colouring pencils in the past few days, time to take the water colours out!! Thanks for putting this challenge together for us Kathy!
Such beautiful butterfly cards and such gorgeous watercoloring!!! I love those butterflies!!! They are now on the top of my wish list!!
Beautiful card with great water coloring. Thank you!
What an awesome image to color! And beautifully done, both ways.
I have to confess, I don’t often watch videos because too many drag on so long that I find my mind wandering instead of absorbing the material. That said, I can watch a video about a technique I really want to learn. But I would be more likely to watch shorter videos that focus on a single technique from a larger project. Or videos that speed through the more basic aspects of a project so there is more time to dedicate to the complicated or novel parts.
Lovely! I was just playing with watercolors last night to do more with them for day 4 of the challenge. Forgot about the blog hop! Thanks for the video!
Gorgeous butterflies!
Beautiful butterfly card Kathy! I do like when you split up the video’s, I always seem to have limited time, so I can see the parts I need to see most and find it easier. I do have a question–I have the Grumbacher transparent and Opaque watercolor sets, but have been interested also in the one you used today, the Kuretake one. Being an economical crafter, and not doing this as my “job”, would you recommend the Kuretake? Are the colors that much more vibrant or different that it would be good to use that one for certain projects? I have distress inks, also a few gelato’s crayons, which are good for heavier applications, not delicate water color stuff. I value your opinion! I’m also enjoying the comments you’ve given me on my coloring I’ve sent you on instagram, thanks so much for motivating all of us!
Wow. You are the free hand master! This is a beautiful example of what water color can really be when done by a master. Thank you for sharing with us hoppers !
Your cards are both so gorgeous! I’m more drawn to the black outline image, but they’re both stunning! I’m having tons of fun with the 30 day color challenge. It’s really allowing me to just play and color and I LOVE that! I’m making it my mission to try and create something every day of the challenge. Thanks so much for inspiring us! 🙂
Can’t wait to link up and I am loving your challenge so far!
Thanks Justine that’s so great to hear on both accounts 🙂
You’re such an inspiration with your watercoloring. With a lot more practice, maybe I could be about a quarter as good as you!
Thanks Jeri you are super sweet. The best advice I can give you is to listen to music or something when doing any kinda coloring. I believe then yo are not in your head and maybe be more free and forgiving?
Hugs 🙂
I love how the “hello” kind of sneaks up on you when looking at the card. It’s a great design!
Thank You Sue 🙂
beautiful card! 🙂
Your card is gorgeous!!!
Wow! I love your cards!!! I love your masking sentiment!
Thanks Anna 🙂
Kathy…I appreciate you videos. I love both of your cards! The “HELLO” is soooo pretty as a direct part of the card!
Thanks Pam that means a lot…videos take me forever and it’s nice to hear that I am doing the right thing lol 🙂
Love the background paper Kathy. Of course your butterflies are wonderful also, so pretty. Thanks for sharing with us. And I like the videos divided, which helps keep them short.
Thanks for the feedback Judy…I had that feeling but, it’s nice to know. 🙂
you are just having too much fun with that butterfly stamp 🙂 gorgeous cards kathy!
Ha Ha Ha YES!! I LOVE It to much 🙂 Thanks for your comment and Yes to your email. Just behind. Hugs
IMHO you are definitely an artist, love your butterfly cards. Do your videos however you are comfortable with, I’d watch them if they were 3 minutes long or 3 hours long.
Thanks Bev that warms my heart!!! Hugs
Love your cards- so pretty! And I love your videos, I always get so much great info out of them and watching you create!
Thanks for saying that Heather it’s means a lot to me. Videos take a long time and it’s nice to hear you like what I am doing. 🙂
Amazing! Both butterflies look great…I think I prefer the black just because the contrast is bolder–but that’s just me! 🙂
I do like the shorter videos. It gives me a chance to pause and come back to it if I’m busy… 🙂
Thanks Pat it’s nice to have the feedback and know I am on the right track. I love a black line too and it’s always my fav 🙂
OMGeeee fabulous card – love the inlaid sentiment
Thanks so much Tristan!
Okay the invisible words are just AWESOME. Really great cards!
Thanks Shanna you are sweet. The “Large Hello” is awesome and I use it all the time. 🙂
so pretty
Its absolutely GORGEOUS!!
Have a wonderful day,
Migdalia
Crafting With Creative M
Thank You so much Migdalia!
wow what great cards…love how you raised the sentiment out of the panel. It looks beautiful.
Thanks Mary-Anne. I do that often and it really pops. So happy that you like it 🙂
I need to watch your videos, but I think that shorter ones would be better. That way we can watch them over a period of time. Your card is very beautiful, and I appreciate all the helpful hints about watercoloring. Yes, I do like the die cut scripted words raised up over the card.
Thanks for taking the time to give me your feedback Cindy and thanks for watching the videos 🙂
Just lovely! The colors are so fresh and unique!
Aww thanks Michele!!
flipping stunning love your style!
xx
lol thanks Samantha!
Simply stunning cards, Kathy! You are gonna make be go and buy that butterfly 😀 Between these creations and the shaped card….oh my …. I’m in love! ♥
That’s good news lol 🙂 It’s my all time favorite stamp …so happy you love it too.
I hate to break it to you, but I think you ARE officially an artist! 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration. Love watching the color just flow.
Aww thanks for making my night Megan and really listening lol 🙂
Absolutely stunning! I love the layering of that card… Flawless!
Wow thanks Kim 🙂
Beautiful butterfly’s, I like the one with the black outlined butterfly best, it looks like it could fly away.
Thanks Barb…the black is my fav too 🙂
I love watercolour! If you’re not an artist, then I don’t know who is! This is beautiful!
Aww that’s so sweet thank YOU 🙂
Gorgeous butterfly Kathy! I love the colors you chose!
Thanks Nina-Marie 🙂
Such a beautiful card, Kathy. Thank you for sharing it. Love watching your videos. ^_^
Thanks Shari that means a lot. 🙂
Kathy, its morning here and late afternoon there I think .are you tired from all your responding, I love that you take the time to answer people questions. Another beautiful card from you and time to get my watercolours going. Been copicing too much lately. A little piece of interest on the butterfly.
The butterfly for us holds a very special place, it is used as an inspiration here within the Deaf community. The butterfly is also deaf and a beautiful creature that all admire.
Thanks Aileen you are so sweet. I admit it’s a lot to keep up on but, it’s so rewarding. I love what you said..copicing lol. Thanks for sharing how symbolic the butterfly is maybe that’s why I have always love them…they have a deeper meaning. Crafty Hugs 🙂
I can’t watercolor worth a flip, but I sure love the way it looks. You did great on these today.
Thanks for the chuckle and I hope you feel successful soon. I have a feeling you might be to hard on your self. 😉
Excellent job on these cards. I especially liked the first one with the hello die cut. Oh, and the shaped butterfly card is awesome. Well done.
Thanks Jean I always love hearing from you. Big Hugs 🙂
Loving those butterflies too! thanks so much for doing this again. I am really enjoying this!
That’s music to my ears!Thanks Amy 🙂
So pretty! I will have to give this technique a try! Love the look of watercolor!
Thanks Nancee 🙂
hi, Kathy, I love this 30 day challenge. I’ve been coloring everything I can get my hands on. lol. I love your butterflies! you do wonderful things with them. and your backgrounds are to die for. I wanted to make sure you are seeing my cards on instagram, so I know i’m doing it right. my photos of my cards are pretty bad, so you cant tell how cute the cards are. i’m working on that. I do love it when you break up the videos. I have a very tough time taking breaks from working in my craft room and this reminds me to do that. thanks so much for all that you are doing for us. Treen
Yay that’s exciting Katrine. Can you tell me your IG name so I can check?
I was computer challenged challenged big time when I first started cardmaking so I ended up with a lot of names. these are the ones I can remember !. on instagram I am katrine leber (aka treen, aka craftytreen, aka katrinegaley. lol I cant seem to go back and change them all.. oh well. i’m learing all the time. i’m trying to work on my terrible pictures now. the one I did last night was at least a little better. i am leaning. i always have Lymda.com to learn what i need. all these cards in my head keep trying to excape….. i had one more question for you. do you know of a good stamping up demonstrator near us. i live in leisure world in silver spring, md. i thought i remembered that you live close. if you don’t not to worry. i go on line and call them, they never get back to me.dont worry , i’ll find the color i’m looking for. thanks for the challenge. putting my photos up on instagram is the best for you? i love this challenge.
GORGEOUS!! I really love the black one.
just gorgeous! loved having shorter videos! I like them broken down! Beautiful!!!
I like having the two videos. Keep it up!
Lovely cards! I especially like the subtle hello that pops out of the first card!
The butterfly turned out beautifully!! I need to start painting more with my gansai tambi watercolors. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks so much Angeline 🙂
I thought I would like one better than the other, but both are beautiful. Thank you for all of your inspiration.
Thanks Barbara 🙂
Wow! Love them both! But I think the white butterfly really pops the colors!
Both cards are stunning!
I love watching the way you color. I like both your cards even though there is difference in the outline.
aww thanks Deepa 🙂
These are just stunning! I love the ethereal feel of the lighter card. The darker card is striking. I enjoy the videos broken up, but anyway you record them is fine by me. They are fabulous tutorials. Thank you for all the work you put into them.
Thanks sooo much Colleen 🙂
Absolutely stunning Kathy. I love the hello card. I need to make a card with this technique. But I have to say the black outlines really make that butterfly pop! Very striking!
Hugs,
Dana
Thanks Dana and I am with you I LOVE a black line 🙂
Both cards are gorgeous, but I am partial to the first one. Cutting the sentiment with the image and popping it up are both brilliant and stunning! Thanks so much for showing us how you did it on the video.
Hugs,
Snoopy 😀
Thanks so much Snoopy 🙂
Omgosh, your cards are absolute stunners! I love the way you inlaid your word die cut. I’m going to have to try that. I love the subtle effect.
Thanks so much Carisa!
I love butterflies and I love both cards. I enjoy watching you coloring, you’re such an inspiration. TFS
I love your videos! so fun to learn!
Thanks Liz 🙂
I’m having so much fun, Kathy! love this technique with the heat embossing with white powder. I love how my card turned out. Thank you for inspiring us to try new things or try again. I appreciate everything you share!! (crafty hugs)
Thanks Paulette you are a sweetheart 🙂
The butterflies are gorgeous!
I am always inspired by your wonderful creations and lovely coloring !
Hugs,

Didn’t know you were part of this blog hop!! Beautiful!!
lovely cards!
Your cards and techniques are amazing. So is your blog. I found you this morning I can’t remember where sorry. I started exploring your blog and you have opened up a whole new world I didn’t even know was out there. Thank you. xo
OMG wow!! Thanks Karen that means so much to me. Perhaps you will jump in and join the challenge. A warm welcome to you 🙂
Wow so very beautiful-thanks for sharing!! Your video is awesome.
Aww thanks Laurie!
Both are breathtaking! Beautiful cards – I love the one with white embossing in particular!
Thanks Heather 🙂
i think this is my favorite along the blog hop so far, well done and thank you for sharing
Ahhhh Maaike that’s music to my ears! Thanks 🙂
Your colouring is great and watching your videos has given me tips on shading and blending, so don’t put yourself down! Short videos are good.
The black outline butterfly is my favourite, it really pops!
Thanks for weighing in Catrinel and your kind words. I am with you I LOVE a black line lol 🙂
Wonderful. Dividing up your videos works and It’s nice to be able to come back and have another look at a particular stage of the card creation. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks and good to know Sherry! 🙂
LOVE the cards so gorgeous!
i like that there are 2 videos but I normally don’t mind long videos..so both things will work for me..
Thanks for all the inspiration!
Thanks for weighing in Holly 🙂
You most definitely ARE an artist! I spent my whole life thinking I had zero artistic ability because I couldn’t draw a reasonable image of anything. Don’t limit yourself, and don’t wait until you are 60 to discover what’s inside you just waiting to come out! Yes, I am in awe of the “masters”, but I am also in awe of someone who can color like you do. You are an inspiration, and helping me discover for myself that (while I cannot draw worth doodly-squat) I DO love to color! It brings me such joy to play and have a result that I like. And…at the tender age of 65, I made my mom some refrigerator art for mothers’ day. And I made a matching magnet. And I had a ton of fun doing it!!!
Thanks for your words of wisdom and I can promised you I will have an attitude change. LOVE that you made your mom some refrigerator art and magnet. AND thanks for making my day 🙂
Kathy, I enjoy the coloring challenges, and I love that you try so many new things yourself. I’m amazed that you make everything you do look good! My personal preference is to have a continuous video rather than splitting them.
Thanks Ruth and thanks for your feedback.I am making a mental note 🙂
gorgeous cards, love the videos.
beautiful cards!! love the butterfly.. awesome!!
It doesn’t bother me to have longer videos, especially when they have good information which yours always do. Thanks for your tutorial, lovely butterflies and the depth of color is beautiful as always.
Thanks for your feedback Stacy 🙂 and kind words.
Lovely! I’ve seen a lot of gorgeous “invisible line” watercoloring today and I SO need to try it!
Absolutely gorgeous cards ..Your no line coloring leaves me speechless ..Thank you so much for the video ..It’s so helpful and inspiring !
You are turning me into a butterfly fan!
Love these cards! My personal preference is for the stamped image – to me it just has a lot more punch! Thanks for sharing!
Kathy, this is so pretty! You are really making me want this butterfly set!
So glad that butterflies are all the rage now.
Your cards are GORGEOUS!
Beautiful designs! LOVE the popped up stuff. So much dimension on top of the watercoloing. Watercoloring is so much fun. Thanks for sharing your talent with the world!
I love the dreamy quality you have achieved, Kathy! Thank you for the inspiration and the video!! Hugs, Darnell
The format is perfect as it means I can come and go and just pick-up where I left off. Thanks for this fabulous FREE experience, Jo x
Your cards is amazing! Thank you for all your tips and techniques! (and the great videos)
Just watched your video on this technique last night. Loved it so much I subscribed to your youtube channel. Along with Kristina Werner and Jennifer Maguire and of course Paulina of Pretty Pink Posh you are now one of my top 5 favs!!
Kathy-
I am loving the 30 day challenge! It’s amazing to get inspired by others and the “see” familiar faces on instagram! You rock!!! …and love your cards, especially the black one!
You truly are a one-woman-wonder of a talent. These cards are artsy, inspired, and all things good. I love how you made the blue backgrounds a little bit sketchy and not all one even tone. BEAUTIFUL!
Kathy, your butterfly cards are both awesome! Your coloring & design layouts show just how talented an artist you are. Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous coloring? So rich and luxurious
Loved watching the butterfly come alive! Beautiful cards.
Thanks for both videos. I like them divided. I need more practice with water coloring. It’s hard for me to remember to use water before adding color but I’m learning. Thanks for the 30 day challenge. We appreciate all the time you devote to your followers, dear.
Gorgeous!
Oh WOWZA – that butterfly looks amazing!
Wow!! So pretty! I love how you did the die sentiment!!
Your painting is beautiful! Doing this in two videos was a good idea.
Wonderful! I enjoyed the videos and both versions of the cards.
These are amazing. They are works of art! Thanks so much for sharing them.
Lovely cards!! I am still nervous about using “real” watercolours. I like the control I have with the markers and pencils. In answer to your question, I prefer short videos. I usually get interrupted, so short works!
Beautiful, gorgeous, amazing!
Your coloring is gorgeous! I like the bold card with the black outline the best but the other is very pretty too. You do really nice work.
Hi Kathy, I love what you do and this butterfly and background thrill me to no end. I have to come back and watch your video! So sorry that I’m new, but I’ve heard your name sprinkled all over the place in crafty goodness. I’ll be back ♥
Thanks for showing very similar watercolours, with both the stamped and embossed images. It really shows the different effects! Both cards are quite striking.
I beg to differ… you are an artist! Card making is an art form! Lovely cards!
Stunning Kathy. I love butterflies and the watercolouring on this is stunning. I love the idea of using the darker bits in the corners. It really makes the butterfly pop
I watched you color your butterfly on your blog a few days ago…this is amazing and I love the short versions!
Gorgeous! Love your butterflies. <3
I love how you showed the stamping with an embossed image and then with an image stamped in black. I also like to stamp an image in liquid platinum embossing powder. It gives a unique effect on an image. I first learned to watercolor an image with Tombow watercolor markers. They are very vibrant. My teacher showed us to layer the markers and then use water to mix the colors on the watercolor paper. I just love your explanations. Thanks so much.
Really beautiful! I love to work with an embossed image, but I love the look of the black since so many butterflies have black margins – maybe I need to heat emboss with black?
I think the two videos is an awesome idea – worked well. I could decide if I wanted to see the background or just the butterflies and I appreciate having that choice (I chose to watch both!) I also love that you speed up and also didn’t include the part when you were die cutting. It was great that your focus was on the beautiful watercoloring (and I appreciate seeing how you work with those watercolors since I have gotten them and have yet to use them)!
Sorry for the epic comment! I appreciate all you share!!!
Kathy – you have MAD coloring skills! I have so much to learn from you! This card is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Your watercoloring is absolutely beautiful!!! I think these are my favorite cards so far on this blog hop! I like the pop up of the die cut over part of the butterfly for dimension.
Thanks Jenna that’s music to my ears lol 🙂
This is a delicious looking card…and I’ll take your videos anyway you want to present them! I watch the whole thing so doesn’t matter to me if they are divided up or not.
Thank you so much for taking the time to film videos. It is SO helpful to actually see the process of your work. Your pieces are just gorgeous but you make it sound so easy.
Love these butterfly cards!
Kathy
Thank you for sharing your talents with us. I think your coloring is amazing!! Long videos are fine with me. You last color challenge was fabulous & I only watched. I hope to follow along with at least some of this one!
TY, TY, TY!!!
Love your cards, Kathy! I especially like the one with the die cut “hello.” That’s just such a neat effect, and a great way to include a greeting without covering up your beautiful image. Don’t ever put yourself down about not being an “artist”! Even though you may not draw the images you stamp yourself, you use the tools you have at hand to create beautiful things. That is MY definition of art! Thanks so much for sharing your creations! ~ Andrea
Dear Kathy
I did not found which stamp of this adorable butterfly on your blog
maybe my eyes already old hehehe 🙂
please reply me which butterfly stamp is this
I adore your video and enjoy looking at your coloring
you really have time to do that
I do always as fast as I could cause I still have my litlle boys around me hehe
Hugs and I love your card Kathy
Monika
I love both cards. They are amazing 🙂
You are far from being “just a crafter.” I’m behind on your 30-day color challenge, but had to take time to look at this. I thought I was so over the butterfly craze that seems to have been going on forever UNTIL I saw yours. Absolutely stunning! I really like the way you die cut your sentiment right out of the image and gave it some prominence by giving it some height. I like the longer technique videos split into 2 so I can more readily find where I need to return for extra learning. You’re an artist, a teacher and a colorist–and you do them all well.
Kathy, your cards are just gorgeous. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated the videos and the fact that you took the time to show stamped versus embossed! Thanks so much for sharing. I’m hoping to learn enough to try watercolor; you made it look so easy.
Thanks so much Diane!! Video’s take me forever so it’s great to know I am on the right track. Good luck 🙂
wowzers…you rock the watercolors!!!
Kathy, you are so encouraging and persuasive in your videos of your work! Seems so relaxing and the results are fabulous! Gorgeous cards, both! Thank you for your inspiration! Love this and am convinced to start!
These butterfly cards are beautiful. Love this butterfly too. I love the different look when you change the color to black. Super!
Wow, another great piece of colouring
Wow you really do make little paintings. Loved to see you painting in a video. That’s when i learn the most. Thank you for taking the time to film and edit.
Love how you have showcased this butterfly showing how different it can look. Two fabulous cards!
Thanks so much Anita 🙂
What a fabulous card! I love how you water colored over the die cut sentiment.
Your coloring is seriously stunning! Wow!
Love both of these. The bold one is stunning but I like the subtle as well. The layered diecut is such a lovely touch. Hugz
BEAUTIFUL and STUNNING cards – done so amazingly!!! Thank you so much for the way you inspire others and teach them as well!! You are a gift to the crafting world!!!
What a cool idea to die-cut a word and then layer it back on the same paper. And another 30 Day Color Challenge?! I would have missed it if I hadn’t been looking at the Watercolor challenge. Ok. Time to do some coloring….
Love the cards! The letter on the first card is lovely but hard to read but the Thanks on the second one stands out well. I need to try both techniques and appreciate the videos.
Your butterfly cards are STUNNING!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful card.
Crafty hugs,
Dawn

Love your videos, love your work, Kathy! You do those videos however you’re most comfortable. I’ll watch them no matter what! Beautiful butterfly cards!
Really love these cards. The butterfly is gorgeous!
Hi Kathy, Your water coloured butterfly’s are beautiful, I love how they turn out,
looking forwards to your next video, Cheers Anna.
Beautiful cards Kathy, I love your watercolouring, Cathy x
Fabulous sky effect……amazingly realistic. Gorgeous butterflies!!

Wow, this is amazing, love the coloring technique you have shared. Love both of your cards so much!
WOW! Such impressive coloring! I’m really enjoying your cards and videos for the 30 day challenge (and being inspired and learning from you!).
This is beautiful! I love to just stare at it so much detail!!!
I loved watching the videos, Kathy. I know what you mean about not being an “artist”. I feel the same way. But our creations are still works of art and yours are beautiful.
Very pretty!
What a lovely butterfly!
Beautiful colors!
so much appreciate the video! LUV to watch the process!!
I love the large ‘hello’ too! I really need to give that technique a try- I admire it every time I see it. It looks fantastic ‘supersized’!
Your coloring is out of this world. I absolutely love that butterfly. Wonderful card. 🙂
Amazing card! You are so inspiring!
Gorgeous! Love that butterfly!
stunning background. TFS
Gorgeous! Love these two looks, it’s really hard to pick a favorite!
I repeat an earlier comment I made, you are one of the best colorists I’ve ever seen. I love watching your videos and the magic you make. I like the shorter videos, because you can watch the segment you’re most interested in repeatedly (I speak from experience). Keep up the great inspiration. Thanks for your blog.
GORGEOUS butterflies and colouring!!!
LOVE how you have added the layers to make the hello POP!!!
