Day 11. Adding A Shadow – GIVEAWAY

Hello  Friends,  How are you? Is your week off to a good start? I am super exited that I  finished my card with that scene of the bears in the flower field.  I started this card panel on Day 6. and Day 7.  All finished now!  Whew!

On day  7. I mentioned that I couldn’t find the flowers on theMFT’s web site  … well that’s because they are part of June’s “Flowers Bloom Card Kit”!  How exciting! Love  how the flower field works with  “Builder  Bears”.

Today  I have two giveaways  and more on that below.

For the shadows on the grass I used a colored  pencil.

GIVEAWAY! I have TWO surprise stampS and die setS from My Favorite  Things for two random winners!

To qualify all you need to do is tell me in the comment area …..If you like my short videos? I don’t mind if you say no it will be valuable feedback for me.

Winners will be announced  at the end  of the challenge. Good Luck! I will have more giveaways coming!

    love all your videos, Kathy – you are so good at conveying the right amount of information without the length – I am not into rambling videos and this one was PERFECT!! This short video was perfect for showing very clearly how to create the shadow effect.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 28, 2019 at 12:46 pm

    Kathy, I love watching all of your videos. Since I have been watching you I feel that I can shade and color better. I have been stamping since the 90’s and you are the first person I have watched that actually made sense and it made me try. Love all your cards and everything you do. Thank you

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 28, 2019 at 12:49 pm

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 28, 2019 at 12:50 pm

  23. Liz E says

    June 25, 2019 at 11:00 am

    I love the short videos! Sometimes details, like adding shadows, gets lost in a longer video so the shorter videos helps to emphasize it — and we pay more attention to these type of details.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 28, 2019 at 12:51 pm

      Thank you so much, Liz! I am grateful for your input 🙂

  24. Sweta says

    June 25, 2019 at 11:02 am

    Swooning over all that shading, details and shadows! And absolutely loving the tips ! Shorter videos are good for quick learning or knowledge about a technique or how the project was put together… you are amazing !!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 28, 2019 at 12:51 pm

      Sweta, you are so very kind! Thank you so much 🙂

    June 25, 2019 at 11:03 am

    Great that you finally found where your flower inspiration was coming from, it’s so annoying when you miss place things. Great work. On the topic of videos, I like short & long video’s, all depends on who it is, what they are showing ? If it’s you I will take any advice you have to offer long or short. Enjoy your week x

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 28, 2019 at 12:52 pm

    This is so awesome Kathy!! i always struggle with lighting and am terrible at shading because I always overthink it! I’ll give your idea a try!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 28, 2019 at 12:53 pm

    I love the short videos just to get quick snippets of tips. With longer videos, I tend to get too overwhelmed with the amount of instruction. Hoping you keep doing the shorter videos! Thanks!!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

  46. Pam says

    June 25, 2019 at 12:38 pm

    I have to say, I like both the short and e long, so just do whatever strikes your fancy!! I must say I DO like it when you explain a little (lime in this video it was hard to see what color you were ado g and how). So instead of music, just a brief description would be nice.
    I do love all your videos, I have learned a lot from them!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

  48. Jean Chaney says

    June 25, 2019 at 12:49 pm

    Kathy, I can’t express enough how important “short” videos are. Many of us crafters, love to learn more but not at the expense of having no time to craft ourselves. Several of my favorite online people have expanded their videos to a length that just makes me click off and not watch. Too bad, because I love their stuff but just don’t have the time to watch for that long.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 28, 2019 at 1:11 pm

      Jean, that is SO true! I feel guilty sometimes when watching the longer videos that I have to fast forward through parts. But there just isn’t enough hours in a day to color, make videos, read comments, and watch long videos. Thank you 🙂

  49. JodyT says

    June 25, 2019 at 1:04 pm

    I do like your short videos, I just don’t always get a chance to watch them.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

    Super adorable bears and those flowers, WOW!

    I love both short and long videos. Short vids I watch when I take my coffee breaks at work and long vids for when I’m washing dishes and cleaning up at night.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 28, 2019 at 1:12 pm

      Lily, I am thrilled that you like them! I enjoy your tip for making time for videos. You make me smile 🙂

  52. Amy Cooley says

    I think there’s a place for both long and short videos, but short is definitely easier when your crunched for time.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 28, 2019 at 1:13 pm

    I love your videos! I am trying to hone my skills and realized that I CAN learn from more than one master in the field and that no one technique is the be all, end all. I love how you use graphite and colored pencils to add details and interest to your water and copic coloring. Time for me to dust off my colored pencils and see if I can do the same. Keep the videos coming!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 28, 2019 at 1:18 pm

      Karen, get those pencils out! Mix different ways to color, but more importantly, have fun. I am always learning from other crafters. Thank you for your thoughtful comment 🙂

    Kathy, amazing coloring, and even though I’ve always known you to be a great colorist, I can see from your current work how much you’ve grown since I’ve started following you! Proven point is that lots of practice is required! I love your short videos, this one showed the shadow detail perfectly, and I think it helps it get “etched” in my brain, longer video’s sometimes have too much info. This one perfectly focuses in on what you are trying to teach! Thanks! I’ve been participating this month, just doing bigger things or have less time, so not posting each day’s coloring, but finished projects, once I finish a few. It seems that some need a few days to “stew” before I know what I need to do next.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      June 28, 2019 at 1:27 pm

    Found this short video concise and to the point. Although it is very brief I think it’s possibly more effective as it isolates the specific technique you wanted to highlight in a clear and simple manner without getting lost in a longer, more general video. Very much appreciate all your videos.

    I enjoy watching the short videos as much as I love viewing the longer ones. Short videos help me to get a quick look at the new techniques you share, especially on days when I have a lot on my plate. I then watch the full videos on the days I am free.

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      July 2, 2019 at 6:02 am

      That sounds like a good plan, Joy! I am grateful that you took the time to leave me good feedback 🙂

    Oh Kathy, that looks so sweet. You did a great job on it.
    I like the shorter videos on days when I don’t have much time and longer ones when I do. So do what feels right for you as I know you are busy also.

    Kathy, this is so BEARY sweet! I love your coloring and the video was a great tool to show the shadowing that you did (I didn’t know it was Copic 0!) It really gives the coloring so much depth and dimension to add that! Thank you!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      July 2, 2019 at 6:16 am

    Hi dear Kathy,
    Sorry I left other two comments answering two other girls.
    I made a mess with my mobile…

    I have to admit that I don’t really watch many videos at all; don’t have the attention span! : ) Or maybe it’s the fact I don’t have that much free time due to having 3 kids!
