Hello Friends, How are you today? Not only is it day 22 of the coloring challenge but, it’s an Altenew Blog Hop! I am super excited to be a part of the Altenew March Release Blog Hop ll PLUS Giveaways! Woo Hoo …. let’s get started.
To start at the beginning of the hop go to the Altenew Blog here. If you are arriving from the talented Therese Calvird blog you are in the right place.
The Altenew layering stamps are always stunning with beautiful details. This stamp set is called, “Garden Treasure” & the matching die cut… it’s one to add to your floral collection. I love the variety of flowers in this set so I decided to create a monochromatic floral bouquet for an artistic spin. You can watch the video here.
I love to add more color to layering stamps with pencils…. it’s fun, relaxing and super easy. Stencils are an easy way to complete your background. I inked up the “Halftone Stencil” with two of Altenew’s layering inks.
PRIZES: Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to THREE lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew blog by Thursday, March 30th at 11:59pm EST for a chance to win. The winners will be announced on the Altenew blog on Friday, March 31st.
My GIVEAWAY: A $30 gift certificate to the Altenew store. Woo hoo Thanks to Altenew. The random winner will be picked from my blog comments and announced on March 29th.
Next on the hop is the oh so creative Eunyoung Lee blog. If you encounter a broken link below is the full blog hop list at the bottom of my post.

You”ve done it again, Kathy! Another gorgeous card! Love the layering and darling polka dot stencil background.
Totally beautiful! I especially appreciate how you were able to make a bouquet out of the flowers! I have tried that before with other stamp sets and its a lot harder than it looks! I can understand why you turned off the camera and came back when it was done!!! That was probably the most time consuming part of the project! LOL
Worth it though! Just stunning!
LOL. Thank you for your kind words, Karen.

I never would have thought of adding the purple, but it’s beautiful. Thanks for your ideas and your awesome coloring.
I always love seeing your videos, Kathy. These flowers are so beautiful. LOVE!
I absolutely love the colors you used for this card! As always, you video was super informative. I love using animal stamps, but flowers are my favorite, I can hardly wait to get this set in my hot little hands. Jil
This set is a must-have, Jil. The creative possibilities are endless. Flowers are definitely my favorite too!
Love the colors you chose for the flowers. I am going to need more discretionary income to get all the new Altenew stamps I am coveting.
LOL. I wish I could have one of everything from Altenew! LOL
you make coloring look so easy!
it is not my strength at all. So I’m happy to see so many layering sets coming out!
Christi, this set looks phenomenal just stamped with the layers without the pencils, too. Coloring is just my thing. If you prefer stamping, I highly recommend getting this layering set. The creative possibilites are endless.
I love to watch you color on your videos. Especially pencils! Beautiful job on that stamp set
That means so much to me, Kerry. Thank you.
OOOOOO! So gorgeous! I love all Altenew’s new flowers! Wish my budget did as well. LOL Yours here stands out with your unique and beautiful style that I love. Thanks for sharing, Kathy.
Thank you for your sweet comments, Judy.
Another incredible card! I love the purple colored pencil color that you brought in. Really makes the flowers POP. I need to take a class to learn to use my pencils.
This is stunning!Kathy,your coloring is amazing!Absolutely gorgeous card!
Beautiful card! Your coloring adds the perfect touch to it.
What a fun card! Thanks for sharing.
I just love your coloring! Always do! What pencils do you use? I am always amazed by your bouquets. Thank you so much for the great videos and inspiration!
-Miranda
The pencils I used today are my Fantasia Premium Artist Coloured Pencils. These are less expensive than the pencils I normally use, but I think they work great and the cost is even better! I will link both that I use below, however.
I also often use Caran d’Ache Luminance colored pencils. I have used these every other day (during this 7th coloring challenge) that I’ve used pencils on my cards. They are much more expensive and if you want to spend the money, I highly recommend them. Which pencils I use totally depends on my mood. LOL! I recommed both. The Fantasia are great for a less expensive option. Hope this is helpful!

Luminance: http://a.co/6kboR7G
The stamps are amazing!!! Love love love!!!!! Your card is absolutely stunning. I would love to get a card in the mail from you
Kathy I love the color combination you used on this card. Thanks you for all your inspiration. I love watching how you color!
The details you add to layering stamped images made them more artistic and special. Your bouquets are so beautiful.
Your card is stunning. I love your coloring skills!!!
Love the colors you used in your bouquet! Beautiful!
Gorgeous bouquet. Love your color choices.
WOW Kathy when I think I’ve seen the best you some how seem to even out do it lol. Totally love this video, this card and all the detailing you performed. How about the clean color pens do you do much with them?
That bouquet is amazing! The flower colors and the way they are arranged – perfect! Thanks for sharing your talent!
I like the way you stacked/layered the flowers. It’s shows real depth. Beautiful!
I love this… can I ask… (I am sure you have mentioned it before)… what is your favorite colored pencil sharpener? Mine never gives them a true..nice… point.. blah… Thanks for sharing…
I use the Baumgartens pencil sharpener, which I purchased on Amazon. There are many good sharpeners out there though. I like getting my pencils to a very sharp and super fine point, and this one seems to do the trick for me. Hope that is helpful.
Just beautiful. TFS
Stunning! I love your coloring <3
Great card! Love the mascara, too
We keep it real!
Love the new stamps and your card. I never would have thought to use the blues on it but they are beautiful! Once again, a great card Kathy!
Beautiful card – you have a great talent.
Amazing as always!! Thank you yet again for the inspiration to color!! Julie
Beautiful coloring Kathy! I wouldn’t have thought to use those colors, and they look so pretty together.
WOW!!!! Your flowers are absolutely beautiful!!!!
What a pretty design!
I always love your color choices–some of them I am not so crazy about, but I love that you are so creative and willing to try something different. I didn’t catch it if you said it, but I have those pencils and have been very impressed with them considering the price I paid. I am taking them with me on my next foray out of town. I stamped a bunch of Crazy Birds and a few other images to keep me busy while away! If my Tombow markers get here, I will probably take them too! Thanks for all you teach me. (I kind of liked seeing just a little of that sweet face in the corner. Don”t edit it out!!!)
Thank you, Bev.
Gorgeous!!! The bouquet is amazing and your coloring….always stunning! Love this ♥
Absolutely one of my favorites that you’ve created. I definitely want to try and make one like this. I am on a very limited income so I’ll look thru my stamp collection to see if I happen to have a similar stamp. At 85 yrs old I find that I don’t get excited about things to often. Today is different…you have definitely inspired me. TFS!!
AWE, thank you for your sweet words Marlene. You made my day!
Your card is gorgeous! Your coloring is incredible! Great idea to do a bouquet. Thanks for all the tips in the video. Now off to practice.
I admire anyone who can color like that!
Wow, your blend of colors is amazing!
Both thumbs are up.. I love the stamped colors and then going in with the pencils what a difference. The purple look is awesome. I love this stamp/die set.. I will need to get this.. The stenciled background perfect and the twine colored …love the idea. Great beautiful card.
Kathy this is an amazing card!
Awesome card….no doubt about it. Great coloring as usual! Love that Garden Treasures stamp set.
Beautiful flower arrangement!
Your card is so beautiful! I definitely need to get this stamp set!
Fabulous card!I think I have fallen in love with this stamp set…the more cards I see the more I like it!

how to colour in every medium.
Hugs, Candy
Awe, thank you for making me smile, Candy.
I love your work and what a great release.
I’m so becoming addicted to hand colouring. Love your work and your videos have helped me heaps.
Your treasured garden card is so lovely.
Cheers
Lisa
I am so happy you enjoy my videos. Means a lot to me.
Such a pretty card! Love all your ideas! Great Inspiration for all these stamp sets.
The bouquet of flowers is beautiful! Great inspiration
Beautiful bouquet, this is really a great card, thanks for sharing.
So pretty! Love the monochromatic look.
I can see it now — all the stamp companies who are producing the layering stamps are going to add even more layers to their sets to mimic the exquisite finishing touches you add. I don’t think the result will be as nice as yours, but they might give it a go. Love the stems (I can do that!) and all the dimension you achieve just with the extra shading and the popping up of layers. It’s truly entertaining and relaxing and educational to watch you at work/play.
LOL. Thanks, Lucy! You’re making me blush!
I love your bouquet, and love the extra colouring with the pencils. Thanks for the inspiration!
Stunning!
Amazing colors!!! Very beautiful card!!!!

Hi Kathy, your video is so informative and your card is stunning. I have several birthdays coming up for the ladies in the family and since I just ordered Garden Treasure I will be trying for something similar for my cards. I have been following the 30 day challenge and I love it.
Hello Karen! It makes me so happy that you enjoyed the video and card. You won’t be disappointed with this amazing Altenew stamp set. The creative possibilites are endless. I also am glad you’re following (and hopefully participating) in the coloring challenge. Thanks for your sweet words.
Happy cardmaking!
Wow.. this is such a beautiful card.. brilliant color combination.
I don’t always like the look of the layered stamping cards but what you did with yours was beautiful – I’m sold! You added some beautiful dimension, the layered flowers themselves and I just loved everything about it! So did my husband and when he is impressed – that’s saying something! LOL!
LOL. I am happy that I was able to ‘convert’ you to the layering stamps! LOL
Your card is stunning. Your coloring is over the top, you are a fabulous artist. Thanks for the inspiration

So lovely, I have learnt so much from you in such a short period of time, thank you so much xx
What a beautiful bouquet! I loved watching your video – so inspiring! The colors of the ink and pencil together is amazing, and I love your drawn stems and the way you covered the outside of the lines with the white gel pen! I haven’t been posting, but your 30 day challenge has prompted me to color more lately too!
Beautiful colors! I just love how all this color blends together! So pretty!
Love this card. Your coloring is fantastic. I love to color, but don’t have much time right now. Am looking forward to the day when I do.

Beautiful card, Kathy! The purple colored pencils make all the difference. Thank you again for doing your wonderful challenge. It definitely makes me think outside the box. XOXO
Kathy your card is spectacular!!! I love the colour combo. I made one card last weekend inspired by a similar card to this of yours, but I wasn’t thrilled with the result. After seeing this card I am going to attempt a second try. Thanks you are such an inspiration!!
love the purple accent that you added, watching you color is mesmerizing. And those skinny little stems add sooo much to the bouquet.
Beautiful card! Again! I love the purple tips with the blue. Stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful bouquet! Love the card.
Love your card. Your are so talented. I saw your coloring challenge earlier this month and have been doing more coloring just not sharing. I have found it is actually a calming activity. Love the layering stamps.
I watched your YouTube video a couple of days ago, but wanted to jump in here to say ‘thank you’ for helping me see beyond the image and explore color! I am learning so much throughout the #thedailymarker30day
Kathy you make the most beautiful cards! I appreciate your coloring so much! You always do such a great job! I look up to you! Thank you!
Kathy this is such a beautiful design, the video is wonderful and I love to watch you color. You have shared so many wonderful coloring techniques and styles along the way. I had hoped to do more coloring with you on the challenge but so many things have gotten in my way, even 10 minutes. I will however keep watching and catching up with you and following you in your daily challenge, I can always go back when things so down, I am a caregiver for my hubby of nearly 50 years and he has ALZ, I take each day at a time and find that watching the videos and blogs, it helps me to relax.
Thanks so much for sharing your love of coloring with all of us. I really appreciate all the work that you put into it.
Hugs,
Gretchen
Oh MY!!! I love this color combination! My last card had similar colors, and I’m in love with blues and violets these days! Loved the video too! You do so much for this community Kathy!

I’ve just recently started adding pencil colors to my Copic marker work and I am amazed at how much dynamic it gives!! (Also, it is a great way for me to be able to color while travelling in the car!-pencils)
Your coloring skills never cease to amaze me.

The coloring you did on those flowers…wow! Stunning work, gorgeous colors. Thanks!
Okay – so I was totally blown away with your adding colored pencil on top of your Copics (which I had never thought to do – duh! moment :D), but now adding it on top of layered stamps – yet another wonderful Duh! moment!!! Thank you so much for getting us out of our own way! LOVE this!
I have been loving your bouquet cards lately, Kathy – and of course these blues are dear to my heart! Beautiful work, as always!
I love it as usual.
I like how you color over the top of the layered stamp to add even more to the designs. Beautiful! And I love everything I see with that halftone stencil design. I love that thing!
Love your card. The flowers are beautiful. Great idea on the stems. You card tell they weren’t “stamped” at all.
