I have been wanting to try some grey tones on a few flowers and I love Clearly Besotted flowers. They are simple, elegant and easy to color. Sorry for the short post! See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    Your colouring is looking brilliant. I was wondering would you if you have time consider doing a video on colouring with copics but achieving a really soft pastel background? If not then maybe next time. Hope your enjoying yourself

    That is amazingly cool looking Kath! Does anyone say cool anymore? I love the addition of your little lines on them as they are an unrealistic colour it makes them look more gothic. Really fabulous! Great job! Get some sleep woman, flu season is on the way and you’ll be more susceptible to it if you’re not rested!

    I, too, love the flowers and I do better with larger spaces when coloring. Very pretty.

    This is just stunning. I love the look of the soft coloring and couldn’t believe how gorgeous the flowers would look with so little color.

    October 25, 2015 at 10:14 am

    Wow! Words fail me here. This is so appealing to me and yet nothing I would every think to try (until now). I’ll have to beef up my Copic collection first since I have no where near enough of the browner greens. Happy excuse! Love the stamp too!

    Kathy, Flowers are my favorite thing to color, who would think to use “grey”, Of course, you would, WOWZA, these are BEAUTIFUL !!!! I would never guess grey would turn out so AMAZING, thanks so much for the idea, I am so going to try this out today. Happy coloring everyone.

    I can honestly say that I have never seen grey roses, until now that is. I’ve visited the oldest rose gardens in the country as they are in CT where I live but no grey roses there. They look so pretty! I love how you did them. Personally, I love rainbow roses! Have you seen them? They are really pretty! What a nice job you did on those roses. I’m going to study it more and maybe I can do something like it with other flower stamps.

  40. Cheryl O says

    October 26, 2015 at 1:19 am

    Your roses are just stunning! I love your color choices, quite striking with the dramatic look to it. I don’t know that I would ever have come up with that combo, and I love it!! Really pops off the page; a good challenge to all of us to think outside the box…… Thank you!!

    October 26, 2015 at 2:46 pm

    Kathy, I’m so impressed that you have kept the blog posts going even though you worked so hard at the Create event. It was exciting to meet you there! I am going to try harder from now on to do a bit of coloring every day and maybe one day I will be 1/4 as good as you šŸ˜‰

  42. Marissa M. says

    October 27, 2015 at 3:27 pm

    I am LOVING these grey flowers!!!!
