Day 2. Blog Hop & Giveaways!

Hello Friends, Welcome to Day 2 of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” AND BLOG HOP!  I am sooooo EXCITED, thrilled and honored that I have this awesome group to hop with us today.

Flowers are my favorite stamps to color and I love the new “Unicorn Awesomeness” so I thought it would be fun to combine them. The “Hello Lovely Florals” is a beautiful bouquet and is super fun to color.

I grabbed a white folded 4 bar card that’s 120 lb. The best part is that alcohol markers don’t bleed through the paper… perfect for a one layer card. This cardstock is so smooth and thick … just to note that it’s slightly different blending because of the coating on the paper. Great to have on hand!

I used some blending solution with a rag on the horse & the large flower for texture. Adding more dots with the brush tip of the marker adds even more interest. Blue halo yes please. I have been outlining the images for years with a blue marker and can really make your image pop.

Since I enjoy tracing the images with a sharpie I decided it was necessary to do on this card.

Then I added lots of white dots with a gel pen .

After embossing the sentiment with white embossing powder I cut a strip of vellum, scored it and cut  a fringe on the bottom. Instead of gluing it down I taped the vellum to the back of the card.

GIVEAWAYS!! YES YES : You will find lots of generous giveaways along today’s hop. (check each blog in the hop for the specifics of their giveaway)

My giveaway is FOUR $25.00 GIFT CERTIFICATES to a stamp store of your choosing. TO QUALIFY all you need to do is say “yes” or “no” in the comment area to this question. Are you taking the challenge?

The full list of ALL winners from the individual blogs will be announced here on Tuesday September 12th.

NEXT ON THE HOP IS Mama Elephant! (Mama Elephant will be the next stop for The Coloring Challenge Road Trip & you can register here) Thank sooo very much for your visit today and a big thanks to everyone in the hop and for such generous giveaways!! Woo Hoo!! I will see you tomorrow for more coloring. Hugs, Kathy

    Kathy, I recently went to the Adirondacks with a bunch of longtime girlfriends. We were all celebrating a special birthday this year and have been friends for over 50 years. I set up a coloring station with stamped cards, glitter markers, alcohol markers and my prismacolor pencils. They had a great time sitting around a table, talking, coloring and they remarked how much fun it was and how calming it was. It was my own little coloring road trip thanks to you who gave me the idea to do so. I’ve often taken my art stuff on trips but this time I took enough stuff so eight people could share my hobby and discover the pleasure of art and coloring. I think I made some converts.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      September 14, 2017 at 3:39 pm

      That’s so wonderful, Barb! Sounds like it was tons of fun!!!

    September 2, 2017 at 5:11 pm

    I’d love to but I’m afraid to post anything as I am a newbie so not this time, when my coloring is better I might get the nerve to post something!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      September 14, 2017 at 4:05 pm

      No need to worry about your skill level. We have everything from beginners to advanced colorists participating. Also, the coloring Instagram community is filled with nothing but encouragement and kindness! Hopefully you’ll get the courage to post eventually- but coloring everyday, even though you don’t post a photo, still counts! Hope you have fun making some time for you and coloring!

    September 2, 2017 at 5:39 pm

    I really wish one of these stops was close to me! I’d go just to have you show me how to properly do the blending solution on a rag because mine just never turns out that pretty… it either takes too little or too much color away. sigh.

    My answer to your question is Yes and No… I’ve already missed the first two days, but hope to get it in gear and catch up soon. : ) I’ve been in every one so far, some more fully than others. They’re always great fun!!

    September 3, 2017 at 3:55 pm

    If I understand correctly all I need to do is color something at least 5 minutes every day to do the challenge. So if that is it well then YES most definitely.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      September 14, 2017 at 4:18 pm

      That is correct! It’s a no stress challenge and the point is to make time for yourself to relax and have fun coloring! Happy
      You’re playing along, Nana!

  259. Karen Gerek says

    September 3, 2017 at 10:41 pm

  260. Patt H. says

    September 3, 2017 at 10:44 pm

    No, I would love to but illness in my family so have been on the go a lot. I love looking at all the awesome creations here & hope to get time to stamp things to take along on clinic trips & get some coloring in. Love this challenge & all the inspiration!

  261. Mary W says

    September 3, 2017 at 10:45 pm

    No – I do color everyday normally just because. But if I think it is some sort of challenge, I almost always stop. So weird, I know.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      September 14, 2017 at 4:20 pm

      Makes complete sense, Mary. I know other people who are the same way. I’m the exact opposite! I need the challenge to push me to color everyday! LOL

  262. Billie A says

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      September 14, 2017 at 4:23 pm

      Unfortunately I cannot get pictures via email. However there are 2 others way to post your pictures – if you go to the very first blog post from day 1…. at the bottom is an inlink took to upload your photo directly here to the blog. Or if you’re on Facebook there is a Facebook group you can join and upload there. Happy coloring, Loly!

  266. Linda Camus says

  273. Jennifer Cole says

    September 4, 2017 at 1:24 am

    Yes! I am trying anyway. This has been helping me to get my supplies out and practice. I am easily frustrated when things don’t go exactly as I had planned on the first go ’round but I know I just need to keep playing and practicing.

  274. Kate B says

    September 4, 2017 at 11:55 am

    Such a beautiful card and wonderful coloring of that image. I am afraid I will not be joining in as I know I cannot color every day. My garden needs are taking up my time with canning and freezing during this time frame. And, I guess that is more important than coloring. Or at least that is what I am telling myself. LOL

  290. Carolyn E says

    September 4, 2017 at 11:56 am

    YES!!

  291. Sheila Bacon says

    September 4, 2017 at 11:59 am

  312. Gail Plaskiewicz says

    September 5, 2017 at 10:06 pm

    Okay, I singed up to get your e-mail’s again. I don’t know what happened and why I am not getting any e-mail’s but now I will.
    Your horse card is so beautiful! I was never a big horse lover because I live in CT and never had much cause to be around horses. Then I went to the Delaware County Fair in upstate NY and met a lady who did tee shirts. I bought 2 tee shirts that have horses on them because of the photos and I love them! They remind me of your card. I love all the colors you used and with the reds and the greens, it reminds me of Christmas! A few more tweaks and it could be a Christmas card! You’re coloring always amazes me. I love what you do with the white gel pen and your dots. I finally have a white gel pen so I can do that now thanks to you. I would have not thought to do that if it wasn’t for you.
    Thanks for showing us your colorful card and for giving us the chance to win something.
    Am I taking part in the challenge? Yes, yes, yes, 1,000 times yes! I will be posting some of my art work too. I miss getting your e-mail’s and now I will get them again.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      September 14, 2017 at 4:28 pm
