Day 26.Finished Poppy from Concord & 9th

Hello Friends, How was your weekend? I missed sharing with you all but, I am proud that I took posting off of my plate it would have put me over the edge lol. The event at Scrapbook & Cards Today’s Crop and Create was pretty awesome and it was spectacular meeting a few of you!!

Everyone was so nice and made me feel so included and welcomed. Definitely a lot more scrapbookers. My place was delayed and rolled into bed at 2am and woke up early to move my mom and step dad. My mom was so organized that by 8pm every box was unpacked and they are settled.

In my last post I shared this beautiful Poppy stamp from Concord & 9th that was unfinished.

Here are a few progress shots as this was slowly coming together on Instagram. I switched over my pencils from this to these.

I wasn’t happy that I forgot a sharpener in my carry on lol. If that’s all that I have to be unhappy about I am a lucky gal.

I have been itching to color this sweet girl from Stamp AnnieThing “Make Your Own Rainbow” I was able to color a tiny bit in the airport … the lighting was not so good. I used an Altenew markers and my favorite color E50! This was posted on Sunday and my point was that coloring is a process and comes together. As you can see she’s not looking to good lol.

Using some colored pencils  (or pencil crayons) I was able to smooth out the coloring that I did with the markers.

Yesterday I was able to do a teeny tiny bit more. Excited to finish her up.

That’s it for today and I hope it’s a good start to the week. A big thanks for your visit today. Hugs, Kathy

    Beautiful coloring as always!! The Concord&9 flowers are gorgeous. And I love the sweet girl’s hair!!

    Oh Kathy, your poppies are exquisite and the shine on “Annie’s” hair is unbelievable! You have an amazing eye (and memory) for those details…
    If I “live long enough” (my Grandfather’s saying, LOL) to GET good coloured pencils, maybe by then they WILL have a build in sharpener in the box like Crayons! THAT right there is a fantastic idea! Especially where these are all so expensive to begin with.
    Glad you had a good time in Toronto!

      I appreciate your kind words, Teresa! Your sweet words make me smile 🙂

    I’m SO GLAD you had a GREAT TIME on your trip! Your coloring came out WONDERFULLY on your poppies! It WOULD BE HARD to color properly without a sharpener! (Crying for you!) AND your little girl image is SUPER CUTE, Kathy!!! Can’t wait to see her finished! 😉

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      You are so thoughtful, Becky! Thank you for always leaving such lovely comments 🙂

    Those Poppies Kathy are so amazely fantastic, this colouring takes my breath away!
    I hope sincerely that you will make a video on how you do this, I want to learn.

    Your girl is becoming also pretty, love that she holds that big marker.

    Glad you’r save back home and that your Canadian trip was great.

    Thanks for your post and see you tomorrow.

    Always fun to see what you’re up too. I love the pencils
    Over copics. Looks great! When will the next 30 day challenge start??

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Thank you so much, Becky! It means a lot to me. These 30 day challenges are overwhelming for me; especially when I work 4 hours on a video only for it to fail, or IG misbehaving, or blog comment issues, etc…enough whining…give me a couple of months or so 🙂

  17. Monica W says

    Amazing coloring Kathy! Makes me feel so good to see the process…in a slow motion almost. I tend to get frustrated when I’m taking too long to color something and then again I habe to remind myself that I’m just getting my toes wet. Thank you for sharing your beautiful coloring. And these stamps that are new to me, adding to wish list as we speak!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Monica, coloring takes lots of time! The Copics speed it up a bit, but it is still a long process. Enjoy the process. I hope you get every image on your wish list and then some 🙂

    My gosh you are a busy person! That final poppy stamp image is gorgeous. I love the colors and of course all the details. Looking forward to seeing the finished little girl too!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      Yes, this has been a crazy busy month. Life gets in the way sometimes, doesn’t it? I really appreciate that you frequently take the time to visit my blog and leave me such lovely thoughtful comments 🙂

  20. Andrea Hastilow says

    Hey you with no sharpener, that’s a first ! Dont know why but this post has come through with today’s together but I got nothing the day you released this one, must be those gremlins again.
    Hair on that young lady is looking great, post her final look when you’ve finished her challenge or not as always enjoy seeing your work.x

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      I’ve had lots of gremlins this month, Andrea! Thank you for your sweet comment; it means so much to me 🙂

  21. Gail Plaskiewicz says

    Oh my gosh, I loved your poppies before, but they are 100 times better right now! Those colors are so amazing! I hope I can get whatever flowers I do to look as nice as yours. You forgot your pencil sharpener? Wow, that is something I always have with me, all the time. It looks like you did okay without it though. Like you said, if that’s all you didn’t have with you, that wasn’t to bad. I would agree.
    It’s nice to hear that you had a good time on your coloring trip. Wish I could go sometime. Thank you for the coloring challenge!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      That is really kind of you, Gail! I am so glad you appreciate the time it takes to do the coloring challenge. Thank you 🙂
