Day 28. A Coloring Card … Card

Hellllooooo Friends!! How are you? Super duper quickest post today! Sorry!

In one of previous posts I mentioned that I painted this bird on an airplane and today I turned it into a card. Love these coloring cards!

I needed one element to add a little dimension so I added one of these labels.

Here is a slide show sharing my process.

Have a great day! Hugs, Kathy

    Hi Kathy, What a cute birdie! Love how you doctored the lettering, too. You have so many great ideas! I cannot believe it is day 28 already! I feel like Hurricane Irma took over the month of September between prepping for the storm and dealing with the aftermath. Your 30 Day Challenge posts have been a bright spot in every day…thank you, Kathy!!

    Your colors are so vivid and beautiful!! Loved the little I was able to play this time around! With working, the hurricane and clean up and hosting family in my home, little time went to coloring. I made up for it when my friend came over and we colored for hours just one Saturday! It was so fun!! Would have loved to see you at your cross country tour but lived vicariously through all the instagram pics!! So thank you again for having this for all of us!! We so appreciate all you do!!

    Your bird came out awesome. I think this is the one I wished I was sitting next to you on the plane. The doodles are even more awesome. Makes a whole nother statement….. September just flew, I hope October slows up. We are going on vacation, I don’t want it to hurry…….

    Obviously there were no air pockets on this flight Kathy, LOL, it is coloured to perfection (as is your style!) Yes, he has gained some character with the doodles, very nice job on it!

    On no. I am just realizing this month is coming to an end. No more daily coloring challenge. But time to reflect back. I am logging my work so I can go back and see my progress. I feel like a kid coloring so I hope I’ll see my growth and changes. This has been fun! Thank you for hosting this!

    Beautiful, so glad to see the finished product after you showed the preview a while back. The bird is magnificent. I’m inspired to buy some coloring cards and take them with me on my next trip (as well as my colored pencils). Thanks for the awesome inspiration!!
