Day 19. Blog Hop

IMG_0795

Hello Friends, How are you today? It’s Day 19. and I have a “Reason to Smile”! It’s a blog hop from Simon Says Stamp showcasing their new release called,”Reason To Smile“.

IMG_0504

I used the adorable “Melody’s Easter” stamp set and Peeps Background to create my life on the farm scene.

Unfortunately the door I used as an interactive element is discontinued. However, I linked to a window die that I LOVE from Mama Elephant below. (I couldn’t find my window…here’s a card I made with the window)

I just love the sweet images from this set. Just precious. I wanted to share a video on my coloring process. Click here to see it the video larger. 

IMG_0503

I stamped these wonderful mini backgrounds to create the pattern on the dress and if you are looking for a screen click here.

Wow I was determined to ink these daffodils up. I had such major technical difficulties today with my video…that I REALLY NEEDED TO COLOR! Finally I had time to sit and color …what a relief lol :).

IMG_1407

The Lawn Fawn plaid paper was a nice backdrop and I added some vellum under the flowers.

IMG_1403

Ah…there is a matching die cut too.

The release has stamps, dies, embossing powders, and even FELT!  Yes, felt 🙂  Made in Italy, It’s the most perfect felt for die cutting!

  78. Jan D., FL says

    February 19, 2016 at 10:27 am

    OMG…don’t know which is sweeter….the little girl or the bunny. Adorable and loved watching you color the images. I usually paper piece, but your patterned dress is too cute. Wouldn’t have thought to do what you did. Your flower card is beautiful, as well.

    I’ve used screen on a card before….hubby had some pieces in the garage from when he re-screened a door a long time ago….worked great. If you have the more open weave screen, you can use it like a stencil, too…with inks or textured pastes. I need to do this again. Thanks for the reminder.

  79. Monica Rohr says

    February 19, 2016 at 10:28 am

    This card is amazing. You get so many comments that I’m sure you don’t have time to read them all. I want you to know that I got SO many ideas from watching this video you made. From the putting a pattern on the dress to cutting her hair in sections. It is also interesting to me to see the colors you use as they are different from those I usually use. I’m planning trying out some of your color combos. Thank you!

Your cards come from a place within you that is glorious! Thank you for sharing. Sorry about the tech issues. Hope they become a historical event. ~M~

    Aw, how sweet! I’ve got a similar screen door, will have to make it interactive, love the sheep in back of it. Always get a chuckle out of your ancient piece of towel, but it sure works to give texture to your critters. Really like how her hair turned out, all the different shades, makes it looks like real hair.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      February 20, 2016 at 12:32 am

    I really enjoy how creative your coloring is! Your color combinations work so well, even though they do not follow the Copic color family numbers. I really enjoy your videos, your coloring and your cards. I just started with Copics, and I have learned a lot from you. Thanks!

  619. Debbie A. says

    February 20, 2016 at 5:07 pm

    Thanks so much Kathy for sharing these beautiful and adorable cards with us! Love the screen door with the little sheep peeking in! At first I thought the plaid background on the daffodil card was the gingham stamp. Either one is a great idea. Keep up the good work!

  620. Lagene says

    February 20, 2016 at 5:31 pm

    GORGEOUS! I love the velum overlay for the background, great release!

  621. Sally says

  622. Steffi Broocks says

    February 20, 2016 at 5:44 pm

    Wow – both cards a great, but the bunny one is so cute and I like the coloring and the layered affect.

  623. Marty H says

    February 20, 2016 at 5:46 pm

    Both cards are wonderful. The door is fantastic–I’ll have to see how I can rustle up something similar. And the daffodils are beautiful.

  624. Judith Knapp says

    February 20, 2016 at 5:49 pm

    The little girl is darling. Love how you did the dress.

    February 20, 2016 at 7:23 pm

    Wow! So beautiful. I just love the watercolor look. I just got zig markers. I can’t wait to give them a try. You are an inspiration.

  632. Kathi says

    February 20, 2016 at 7:35 pm

  634. Leslie L. says

    February 20, 2016 at 8:21 pm

    You coloring is amazing. I thought you did paper piecing with pattern paper but I should have known you colored it.

  635. Rhonda says

    February 20, 2016 at 8:22 pm

    The card with sheep peeking in through the screen is adorable!! Great idea!!

  636. MarciaC says

    Your first card is adorable! I love the scene you created and the screen door is such a neat element! The daffodils on the second card are lovely! I like that you made them unique and incorporated the green.

  641. Stephani Rogers says

    February 20, 2016 at 9:22 pm

  645. Jeri says

    February 20, 2016 at 10:03 pm

    Those sweet images of the little girl and bunny are just so cute. I absolutely love how you added that screen door. Your daffodils are colored gorgeous, too.

  646. Paula Fuller says

    February 20, 2016 at 10:12 pm

    Oh my goodness, I loved your video! I learned so much about “winging’ it” with coloring your image. That was so much fun to watch. And those daffodils are wonderful. SSS has done it again with their release

  647. Candy B says

    February 20, 2016 at 10:16 pm

    The first card is just so cute. I love those sheep peeking in. The daffodils on the 2nd card really pop with your amazing coloring.

  648. janice_moss60 says

    February 20, 2016 at 10:54 pm

    You did great, in fact, I would probably say “um” more than you did. Watched it all the way through, and learned from you. Thanks!

  649. pamboe says

    February 20, 2016 at 11:20 pm

    The screen door or window, that little girl and critters . . . spring on the farm! Love it!

  650. Allison S says

    February 20, 2016 at 11:40 pm

    Awesome use of shading in your coloring of the image.

  651. Laura Watson says

    Your cards are so nice ! Really love your colouring on the daffodils.

  654. Ashley W says

    February 21, 2016 at 2:51 am

    Beautiful! I want to try copic markers someday, cannot believe such pretty color blending can be achieved with markers! Pretty flowers you colored!

  655. Laura Joyce says

    February 21, 2016 at 2:56 am

    A screen door! So creative… But I love the flower card more

  656. Judy S. says

    February 21, 2016 at 3:13 am

    The first card is super cute! Looks like SSS needs to release a screen door die. The daffodils are sort of a strange color, but don’t look bad. If you would have colored them bright hot mama fuschia, I’m sure Laura Bassen would have called the “Daffodil Police”.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      February 21, 2016 at 10:23 am

      lol thanks for your honesty Judy. I like to present other options since everyone else will color them mostly yellow. With that said I am excited to color them yellow too.

  657. Milka says

    February 21, 2016 at 3:42 am

    WOW, Kathy!!! Both are gorgeous, but daffodils… STUNNING!!! Love love love!! :o)

    Love both cards , the screen door card looks such fun, we don’t tend to have screen doors in the UK but we might be getting there as netting screens to put up on the inside of our doors are becoming more popular . We probably don’t have them as we don’t always get the summer weather to merit them and as our doors open the wrong way ,well french doors/patios all to do with having smaller houses I guess.
    the daffodils I love as its a sign of spring here and we have some starting to pop up in our gardens ,your colouring is fab as usual the trumpet really looks as it has depth, thanks again for sharing and fab hop too.

    loved both our cards but the daffodils were my favourite! and I agree – the plaid was the best backdrop, the vellum a touch that really finished it up. thank you

    • Lindsey says

    Hola, Kathy! I hope you are well. Is it cold in Maryland? I’m in San Antonio and all last week we hit 80*F. Spring has arrived here. Of course, blazing summer is not too far behind. We don’t do things gradually here. ha-ha. Anyway, when I saw your screen door card, I laughed. Not at you or your card, but because it reminded me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer puts a screen door on his apartment door. He even adds a water hose and wind chime like a house. It’s one of my favorite episodes. ha-ha. By the way, my 74 year old mom has been coloring everyday! Great cards, Kathy! Keep warm.
