Hello Everyone! How was your humpday? My kissin’ cousin’s daughter is staying with us for a week and it’s been great. Lots of time in the kitchen and away from the craft room. I am realizing what I need to get things done besides more time lol.
I colored this “Tiger Lily” from Power Poppy three ways in this video and fortunately I stamped part of the lily in pink ink … so all I had to do was grab and start coloring tonight. It’s a time saver to color part of a flower and I love that look on a card.
Building layers of color with pencils is easy if you have a light touch. (relax your hand and don’t press to hard) I wish I had more time to complete my soon to be card and wishing you a good end to the week.
Have a great day and see you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

Gorgeous image and beautiful coloring. I need to lighten my touch with my pencils.
What a stunning looking flower. You have coloured this so beautifully, cant wait to see what you end up doing eith it. Enjoy your time with your niece, family is always specisl.
I have a hard time doing that “light touch” thing — in just about anything I do. I need more patience and practice, but I’m enjoying playing along. I’m still using the pencils I started the challenge with, bound and determined to see significant progress with them. Thanks for the continuing inspiration.
Awe, thank you Lucy!
Great looking flower! So happy you are having some fun family time, too!
Thank you, Kathy, for this challenge and for continuing to bring us helpful and inspiring tips to improve our coloring. Your likes are beautiful. I’d have had no idea how to achieve that!
I think I remember seeing this flower during the last challenge! It is such a gorgeous image that i don’t blame you for coloring it again! your coloring really brings it to life! TFS!
Kathy, I can’t even tell you how much of an inspiration you are, you make me want to try new things and pickup my pencils as soon as I get your posts! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work with the world. ☺
Thank you so much Nicole. That means so much to me!
What a great tip, stamping with a color ink! Thanks for the challenge, so fun!
Love Love Love all the colors on these intricate petals!
Ooooh this is stunning, so many gorgeous details! No matter the medium your talent always takes front and center! Thanks for sharing and always inspiring.
Thank you so much Lisa 🙂
gorgeous flower
Awesome coloring of this flower.
This is insanely gorgeous!!
Wow! Such realistic colouring! Beautiful.
Sooooo Beautiful!!!!
This is stunning…I love color with pencils and they are my number 1 color medium…but your flower…OMG…hugs Zeljka
That is one gorgeous stamp! I really like to stamp out a bunch of images so I always have something to color, although I have been known to have a few coloring books (tongue in cheek!). I plan to take a bunch with me when I go out of state for a few weeks the end of the month. This time I will also take some card bases and envies, as I needed to make some cards last time and didn’t have supplies to finish. (But I had a good time hunting embellishments without a “stash” readily available. Just happened to have some ribbon for another project that was the perfect color—made me so happy!)
That is so Pretty ! I always stamp in black ink, I have never tried to stamp in any other color, but it does make sense, chalk it up to one more thing I learned from the master. Thanks Kathy.
You’re so sweet Tracey. You should try no-line coloring sometime!! 🙂
You and this Lily are meant for each other. Fantastic coloring every time.
This is so pretty, Kathy! I love all the different colours you used – you really brought the lily to life! I love that it’s so different than the lilies you coloured previously!
this is amazing!
Oh my gosh-the most gorgeous!!!!
BEAUTIFUL COLORING KATHY! I have a tendency to color dark, so I will try to remember to color LIGHTLY! LOL 😉
Awesome flower coloring, it looks so real
What a great idea to start with a pink imprint. Florals scare me. I never to get them to look realistic.
This is stunning Kathy. You can bring anything to life with a marker or pencil! Its just amazing to me. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us! Hugs!
this is beautiful. Your coloring is so inspiring!
Your coloring always amazes me. Have not been able to get to coloring very much. Too much going on and stress up the wazoo!! I think I need to color though. Would do me good!! LOVE the light touch you have on this flower. I find that so difficult to do!!
I find coloring soooo therapeutic! Try it! 🙂
Gorgeous lily, Kathy – such exquisite detail!!
Your really getting me back into my colored pencils Kathy , you inspire me !
This is so gorgeous, I’m trying so hard to resist this stamp, but I just adore lilies. It doesn’t seem to matter what medium you use, you rock it. Ok, I’ll get the colored pencils back out and try to remember light, light, light layers. Oh I can hear that stamp calling to me………………….
Stunning. I love the color choices. Looks so real. You are making me want this stamp set. Beautiful work.
I love both a light touch and sometimes a heavy hand, it depends on what I am coloring. I see why you colored your flower the way you did. Its very elegant and I really like it. If I were coloring that flower, that’s how I would have done it too. I also like to experiment though, like with the Hydrangea I colored. I did them multi colored even though they aren’t and I used a light touch with my pencils. I want to do them again with brighter colors and then I will use a heavier hand. Like I say, it all depends. Your flower does look real.
I colored a Stamping Bella image on a card for my niece whose name by the way is Isabella but we call her Bella. I posted it and people commented that they loved my coloring! It’s always nice to hear something like that. The Hydrangeas I did I also heard how nice my coloring was. I guess I am getting the hang of this coloring thing! LOL Now if I could only learn how to use the few Copics I have I would be a happy camper.
Enjoy having your company over your house. My nephew will be home from college in a few months I think and then I will get to cook for him again. He loves when I cook for him and he loved the picture I colored for him. He hung it up in his dorm room.
Hi Kathy!! Thanks for the tip on coloring this flower. This challenge is so fun and my family is having fun too.
Such beautiful colouring Kathy; that tiger lily is so very lifelike. I need to lighten my touch with my pencils … thanks for the reminder 🙂 Have a great Friday xo
Gorgeous cards. Your colouring is superb! Cheers.
Such beautiful cards, Kathy. The flowers are exquisitely colored and the backgrounds you created with tape and ink create an ideal setting. Thanks for sharing these.
Interesting color combinations
Genius idea stamping in pink!
