Day 27. Mission Accomplished & Giveaway

Hello Friends! Day 27. Super quick post today. It’s super late and I need to get my beauty rest. I was determined to finish this painting of mine.

This will look better when I get a better photo with some day light. My apologies. In my post here I talk about Rachel Kozlowski. Her plate was my inspiration for my own piece.

Rachel has a great Etsy store here and I think she does commission work too. I find her Instagram pretty inspiring too. Check that out here.

GIVEWAY! You know the drill right? Leave a comment and tell me you love me ahhaah for something different. The winner will be announced at the end of the challenge. The prize is all the goodies in the photo. Thanks to Sizzix for the giveaway.

See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

    Since your bird is a derivative from the plate, I imagine your home full of color and bright things. Gorgeous drawing complete with boob line and necklace for a splash of sophistication.

    I love how your flamingo turned out! So creative. What I love about you is your teaching style. Funny story, last night you were in my dreams (in a non-creepy way)… as in you called me on the phone and I was telling you what I would like to learn from you… then one of my crochet idols was in my dream also… LOL… Apparently I think about crafting 24/7. Can we say obsessed?

  69. Gail Plaskiewicz says

    July 12, 2019 at 10:39 pm

    While this is very colorful & I love your coloring, this is not for me. However, I do know a person who loves flamingo’s so she might like this. I love the giveaway though. Great stamps!
    I love to see your coloring & what you do. You have a lots of cool things that I don’t which is why you cards look better than mine ever will. I like what I do but I wish I could do what you do. I almost got a die cutter. Someone had one that was a hand cranked one & because of arthritis she couldn’t use it anymore. She was going to give it to me but she had to wait for her husband to get paid & she would mail it. This was last year & I never got it. Darn! Oh well, what can you do?
    You are an amazing card maker & colorer & I hope you never give it up or this blog. I will be so sad if you do.
