Day 12. Simple Coloring

Hello sweet friends, Welcome to day 12. Thanks soo much for leaving your comments yesterday and weighing in. I can’t tell you how much it means to me… much more than I can express.

When you don’t have a lot of time .. like no time to stamp … that’s when I pull out a coloring book page and get two potential cards with my “bleed through” technique. I will come back to these card panels and finish them at a later date. The coloring on the left is the “bleed through” I have shared this technique two times before and I hope you have a minute to check them out. Click on this post and this post. I have two videos showing the technique here and here.

WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED tomorrow from the blog hop ( I am still waiting for a few winners).

Have an awesome day and thanks again for your love and support. I am so lucky! xo, Kathy

P.S. Click here for DAY 1. TO UPLOAD YOUR COLORING on my blog or here on Instagram or here on Facebook (it’s a closed group). Please remember to use the hashtag #thedailymarker30day and for kids & young adults #thedailymarker30daykids
P.S.S. If you have any questions about the coloring challenge you can refer to this post and see my video here. The premise of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is to color something everyday even if it’s for five minutes. (However feel free to jump in or out as time permits). Any coloring medium is welcomed.

    The bleed through technique is a neat one. Great way to take advantage of what would normally be considered not usable. The card you colored/made is lovely. I so appreciate your creativity. I need to remember this idea! Thanks for sharing it again. 🙂

    I love your idea of the “bleed through” cards, they are just as pretty when you are done with them as the “top” card is! So much fun! Well, I am off steal a few minutes of colouring. (We have our grandsons here for a few days so while they are playing happily, under Grampie’s supervision, I am taking a little break for some me time! LOL)

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      March 14, 2017 at 5:52 pm

      LOL. Enjoy your coloring time!

    I LOVE to color in my coloring books. I remember that technique you showed us, I have not tried it yet. Thanks.

    I don’t get bleed through with my coloring books but am going to get out the ones that don’t have such thick paper so that I can try this technique!!
    I spent yesterday coloring from 9 am till 1:30am this morning! LOL Thank goodness family was gone for the day so that I didn’t have to stop to feed anyone!
    See you tomorrow for the next awesome post! TFS!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Yayyyy to coloring so much! If only there were more hours in a day… 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Hi, Kathy! This is gorgeous and the colours are so vibrant! The bleed-through effect is quite nice too! I have picked up a few colouring books over the years and I have never coloured in any of them! I love to look at the pictures! I’m so silly! But I do enjoy colouring my stamped images and digital images – I think the size of the colouring book pages is a bit overwhelming to me. Happy colouring!

    Can’t believe it is day 12 already. I think the bleed through is fun. Today I think I will work on some coloring cards I found on Amazon. Scripture cards are perfect for a Sunday coloring.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      March 14, 2017 at 5:54 pm

      Awesome. Happy coloring!

    Must’ve missed the previous posts on bleed-through; will have to check them out! Just love the vibrant blues on your flowers, Kathy!!

  11. Yvette says

    March 12, 2017 at 2:52 pm

    What a great technique! Must try it sometime.

  12. Sue LD says

    March 12, 2017 at 3:09 pm

    What a clever idea to use the bleed through page.

  13. Nicole says

    March 12, 2017 at 3:19 pm

    Another beautiful color combination and I love the idea of using the coloring book pages!

  14. Nancee Purdum says

    Kathy, you’re a woman after my own heart! What a great idea to use the bleed-through instead of throwing it away! I love to do that kind of thing. Seeing how I can use what would’ve been trash. Beautiful work, BTW. Thanks for sharing.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      March 14, 2017 at 5:55 pm

      So happy you like this idea, Debbie. Thanks for your sweet comment.

    SERIOUSLY Kathy, I think some of these coloring pages NEED TO BE IN STAMP FORM! LOL BEAUTIFUL WORK!!!! 😉

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      March 14, 2017 at 5:55 pm

      LOL 🙂

  21. Celeste Goff says

    March 12, 2017 at 7:41 pm

    Wow Kathy, the color on this is just amazing! So rich and deep!

  22. Billie A says

    March 12, 2017 at 11:29 pm

    The colors are beautiful. I love the richness. I remember the bleed through you did before. It will be great seeing what you do with this one. I haven’t bought any color books because of my concern of bleeding though to the design on the back. I guess I wouldn’t have to use copics I could use pencils.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      March 14, 2017 at 5:57 pm

      You can use pencils, for sure! You can also put some scrap paper behind the page you are coloring or just tear out the page you want to color and use a clipboard or something. Just some ideas. 🙂 Happy coloring, Billie!

  23. Bobbie says

    March 12, 2017 at 11:41 pm

    Heck I have to get the copic coloring technique down before I ever attempt to ever use my bleed through and have it look like something lol. Love the colors and yours always turns out wonderfully

  24. Lisa Tilson says

    March 13, 2017 at 7:59 am

    The bleed through technique is so interesting, I have yet to make mine work completely! Love the bold blue of this card and I just know they are going to be amazing at the end – already they are so striking!

  25. Mary Wright says

    March 13, 2017 at 8:22 am

    What a great idea, I am going to try this, I just got a small book, so this came just at the right time xx thank you xx

    Your tips always inspires me !

  27. Marianne says

    March 13, 2017 at 1:27 pm

    Thanks for reminding me about the bleed through technique you showed before. I did colour part a of page at the time, but never used any of the two resulting panels on a card.

    Your bleed through method is new to me and one I will definitely try! Fascinating!
