Day 3. A little no line coloring with Mama Elephant

Hellooooo Friends, How are you? Did you enjoy the hop yesterday? Wowza there are some amazing prizes up for grabs….still … if you missed the hop somehow click here  🙂 Besides that I was so overwhelmed with support and love for the challenge that so many companies were happy to come together for the hop and thankful for you to visit them all. I know it was a little time consuming but, totally worth it.

I practice what I preach and it was hard to find a little me time today but, I managed about 11:00 pm. Ahhh that felt so good so sit down and color. The day I laid my eyes on this stamp from Mama Elephant it was instant love and I hope to finish it tomorrow.

On another note I am totally blow away and so inspired with everything you all are uploading here and there. Thank YOU!! See you tomorrow and have a great day. Hugs, Kathy

    Hey Kathy, I am with you! I bought this stamp in January as I fell in love with it. It was my only stamp purchase in January (though there were so many I loved)! Your no line colouring looks gorgeous, I can’t wait to see the finished image ❤️️

    BEAUTIFUL stamp and DELIGHTFUL card Kathy!
    LOVE how you have coloured some of the petals to go over the sentiment, it adds wonderful dimension!
    … YIKES, it’s past my bedtime, I had better get some more colouring done too 🙂

  4. Marianne says

    Hi Kathy, love how you pulled those petals forward. Cannot wait to see the finished result, although the current spot-lighted version is also quite interesting.
    I also managed to do a little colouring last night (11pm-ish ;-)) using a new to me butterfly stamp by Uniko and my ‘new’ Copics. I heard you whispering in my ear: just work it and have fun playing 😉

    I will color….before I watch the videos….after watching videos…in my den, in front of my favorite “available light” window…in an airport on Sunday and 4 times during my trip…in hotel rooms…on buses….in lobbies while waiting….with Prismacolor…with Copics…with Chameleons…with Promarkers…with colored pencils….Yes, I will be on a trip but will be coloring images…everyday. I will not be able to upload my projects….no internet most of the time…but I will be coloring, coloring, coloring! Thanks for the inspiration! kReN@afourthlife.blogspot.com

    Thank you Kathy for putting on this coloring challenge every year! I color almost every day anyway but your challenge has pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and try new things and to upload and share some of my coloring projects, something I wouldn’t have considered before.

    It IS a great stamp, and I just want you to know I love you even when there isn’t a prize up to win!!! And I am so glad you are human after yesterday’s overachievement post! (smile, I am just in awe of your talent. all that coloring would have taken me all day and still wouldn’t have looked like that!)

  21. Mary Anne Hergert says

  24. Teresa Doyle says

    Oh I LOVE this Botanical Hello stamp. Ever since I first saw it I thought it was SO beautiful! I can’t wait to see how you finish this off!

  27. treen says

    oh man! I love that stamp. since i havent been coloring since june 2016, i was having trouble justifying buying new stamp sets. It didnt totally stop me, lol. but now that i am coloring again i might have to order it. Its really lovely and no masking involved. sometimes, you just cant mask, but want a special card. I cant wait to see the rest of it. hugs, treen

  28. Tracey Magner says

    Hi Kathy, That IS a Cool stamp, love it and love that company. WOW that was a AWESOME blog hop yesterday, it was so much fun seeing what everybody created, wow some major talent out there, and the giveaways blew me away !!!! They were AMAZING, I have never seen anything like that before. Happy coloring everyone.

  34. Lucy Schmidt says

    I’m still not finished with yesterday’s blog hop (totally awesome, BTW, as my niece would say), so have some making up to do in the color challenge department. I love this look and am looking forward to your finished piece and a video or insight into the process. I need to hear all that “process stuff” loud and often. 😉

  36. Nicole says

    Ooooooo, those flowers are gorgeous! Thank you for your answers to my questions yesterday and also for the hop, it was so much fun!!

  37. Colleen Howell says

    Great so far, yes I love this stamp set too, flowers are one of my favorites to color too

  38. Lynda Pleckan says

    Such a clever way to color this stamp! Love this card. I’m finally jumping on board. I’ve been looking forward for so long for this challenge, then the nasty, big ole stomach bug hit me and floored me for a few days. Beginning to feel a bit better, so carpe’ diem. Thanks for another great challenge opportunity, Kathy.

    Stunning, Kathy! As for the hop: simply amazing colouring creativity from the various designers. So many ideas! Right now, I’m thrilled to be sharing my niece’s and nephew’s colouring and oh, how sweet the comments they’ve received! Thank you – and everyone – for making these two lights of my life positively beam!
