Day 9. On The Road

Hello Friends, How are you? Please tell me if you are in Florida you are in a safe place and ok! #manyprayersforyoursafety

Currently I am in NY because tomorrow is Mama Elephant’s Anniversary Party and it’s one of the stops of the road trip. I am super exited to be doing demos and meeting some of you. Woo HOOO ! With that said yes… I am super nervous too.

I am still finding time to color … I do practice what I preach lol

Simon Says Stamps coloring cards … I have mentioned before that when I travel they are always packed in my carry on with some Zig markers. This particular set of cards is new for STAMPtember and it’s called, “Suzy’s Forest Friends” and they are as sweet as can be.

I added my usual fun things that I like to do.. .like dots with a white gel pen, eyelash lines with this super fine tip marker & outlining the image with a fine tip sharpie. Soo fun

This is the before all the detailed additions.

So If you don’t mind I am going to run and I will see you again tomorrow. Big Hugs, Kathy

    Oh my, how I love these water colouring cards. This is fantastic Kathy, I love how the image is larger with more colouring surface and less tiny detailed images.
    Enjoy your demos/meet & greet, I am sure you will be well received!

    Safe travels Kathy. It really is amazing to see the difference your additions make. The basic coloring was beautiful and would’ve been great, but when you add the white dots and fine lines, wow! Huge impact. Thanks for your inspiring projects.

    I love what you do with the white gel pen and now that I have one in my box of 60 gel pens I am going to put it to good use like you do. Oh, and did I mention that I love, love, love all of my gel pens? They work wonderfully well and before I bought them, I read all the reviews. If there were any bad reviews on Amazon where I have some credit card points I wasn’t buying them. I had a whole plastic bag of half used gel pens that were half full of ink and I couldn’t get any of them to work. I even googled how to get them to work and I had to throw them all out because none of them worked but to get 60 different colored pens and some have glitter and some are 3 colors and they all work is amazing!
    How come the first raccoon has eye lashes and the second one doesn’t? I looked where you said you put eyelashes on the raccoon and I was looking at the second one who doesn’t have eyelashes and I thought where are the eyelashes she says she put in? The little guy is so cute and I love you’re coloring! I might have to get those sets because I like them too. I hope I get to meet you in person because it would be like meeting Rick Springfield, which I have done a bunch of times. You are my idol!
