Hello Friends! How are you today? Happy weekend to you. It’s Day 7 already. Sorry I have been M.I.A. but, I will be back up and running on Monday. I will try and share more product on my Instagram. It’s been so fun running into so many of you and hearing how you are enjoying the coloring challenge warms my heart so much!!
95% of the time when I am traveling I take some of Suzy’s watercoloring cards on the airplane with me. Thanks to SSS for selling the cards they make me so happy. (Suzy is the illustrator)
This is the part I did on the airplane with some Zig markers.
When I got back to the hotel for some night time coloring I finished this. First I put some purple on each petal and then blended it out with water.
Here’s how it looks finished … with the purple that is.
I colored with a light blue around the image and on the green leaves and then I blended the blue lines out with some water.
Adding a darker color to the nooks and crannies around the flowers enhanced the image.
Outlining the image and adding white accents were the finishing touches.
Off to bed to recharge. Hope you all are enjoying yourselves. See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

Love your card. I finished and shared yesterday a card made with my Zig markers I enjoy them so much. And I made it with your tips of the darker marker for the nooks and crannies and a white gelpen for the highlights.
I take a deep bow for you, traveling and working and colouring and writting posts with your colouring and that all for us! And than I didn’t mention the reading and watching you do of the stuff whe post and share. Thank you for this all.
Whooo hooo Henriette! I can’t wait to see your finished card! Did you like how it came out with the nook and crannies and white gel pen?
O yes, this time I use a very dark purple that is in the same colour range as the flowers, but I will try next time a black one, I didn’t dare it this time. And the white gelpen made the flowers great. I linked the card here on the side, If you wants to see him and can’t find it, this is the link to my blogpost: https://henriettecreativelyhappy.wordpress.com/2018/01/20/30-day-coloring-challenge-day-6/
Lovely card! The way you can layer colors adds so much vibrancy to the image. You definitely encourage me to try new mediums and explore what I can do without worrying about the results. Thanks so much for all your hard work – really love the 30 Day Challenges for motivation.
I absolutely love hearing that, Sarah! That’s music to my ears and exactly what I hope to accomplish with people! Enjoy coloring and playing and be fearless! It’s just paper and color!? Happy creating!
Hi Kathy, What a lovely illustration, and you colored it so beautifully as always! I know I’ve said this before, but when you are coloring on a plane your seatmate must be in awe of what you’re doing! I would be bursting with curiosity myself if I didn’t know better! Thanks for sharing your tips again today. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Those are beautiful Kathy!
Coloring on airplane is one of my favorite things to do. Cannot go on trips withouth coloring mediums, Journaling Bible and coloring book.
Your flower is gorgeous, Kathy.
Enjoy your fun time at Craft convention
It’s so great to create on the go.Well done.
So pretty
The way you colored the flowers with the gray on the bottom and the color on the top is really cool. Never would have thought to do that. Guess that is why you are the expert!! Love this 30 Day Challenge. I have been coloring but not posting. It has been fun to follow along, though!!
I’m so happy you’re playing along and enjoying, Nora. It’s okay if you don’t want to post but as long as you’re designating the time for yourself everyday that wonderful!!! Happy coloring!
Very pretty. I like the blue around the image.
BEAUTIFUL, Kathy!!! The flowers just POP off the page!!! 😉 I too like to add that blue glow around my images! 😉
Love zig clean color markers. I did the same thing Kathy when we flew to California and home again. At one point had to stop for a bit the ride was a bit rough lol. Thanks for doing this 30 day challenge your the best.

So amazing coloring!
Gorgeous!!! Really like the cards!
So pretty! Time to get my Zigs back out – it’s been a while!
Beautiful. I love that you take these on your trip to keep you grounded and probably sane with traveling. I should look into the images. I plan to take a trip this coming summer and bought some Mission gold paints to bring along and I have been stamping a bunch of images to color while I am gone. I know last summer I didn’t bring anything and it drove me crazy.. lol.. Love your color choices . Safe travels.
Hi, Hope you are having FUN!! I LOVE her watercolor prints, I buy them all the time at SSS, she is AWESOME. Thanks 🙂
I love the coloring on your card but then this is a coloring challenge, right? Right! LOL You’re coloring makes the card look very old fashioned like it’s from the 1940’s or 1950’s. That’s what it reminds me of. My dad gave me an old valentine years ago that I think he said he saved from when he was a little boy. He’s not the type to save things like that or to buy antiques at all but I am thinking he would be more saving then buying. It reminds me of that. I wanted to do some coloring today but I was feeling sleepy. I slept all night but got up early to go to the bathroom and couldn’t go back to sleep so I didn’t get enough sleep. When I am tired I can’t create as well as when I am well rested. I hope tomorrow will be a day when I am more rested so I can color.
