    Another wonderful project! The leaves are definitely the show stealer.
    We are getting ready to host our annual Thanksgiving Breakfast. Have a great weekend.

    Great job! The leaves are amazing. So pretty. I also noticed the tiny hair-like lines on the stem of the leaves. Is it like the white dots that you make on some of your coloring projects? How do you decide when to do the lines? It seems to make the item look more real. Just curious how you started doing that. Ignore my blahblah. I just love the finished picture. Thanks so much.

    Wow! It’s crazy how you transformed the leaves! Gorgeous! And I thought the shirt was going to be hot pink 🙂

    Another great project! We are sharing dinner with my daughter & her family. My son in law is cooking the turkey and he is a great cook!

    That turned out so awesome Kathy! Love it. Love her shoes and the leaves so much! Love her red shirt, too. More lovely art for your wall. My husband and I will cook the turkey and all for our family then we shall play some Trivial Pursuit. Making our Aunt Karen’s caramel apple cheesecake this year instead of pies. Should be fun. Hope your Thanksgiving is wonderful like you!

    I love all the colors in your project! My husband and I are busy getting ready for Thanksgiving dinner. Two of my kids will be flying in for the big day. Until then I am still coloring and card/tag making everyday.

    This is so cool, I really like the finished card, this is a really neat technique(but all your techniques are great).

  24. karenladd says

    Oh my gosh, this is amazing kathy! When I saw the earlier stages I just could not figure out what you had in mind, but what a fabulous look. Love the striped leaves!

  27. SHartl says

    Totally brought this image to life! This kind of reminds me of illustrations from the kids book, Where the Wild things Are, with these fantastical leaves. Awesome!

  31. Henriëtte says

    Awesome colouring Kathy, it looks awesome. This plant reminds me of a plant I had years ago, with the change of daylight the leaves also changed color, similar colors as you used. It’s so great to see.
    Hope you have a wonderful weekend, happy colouring and “see” you tomorrow.

    Cool! Love those leaves! Reminds me of a friend’s cheese plant that had nearly taken over her whole room … there was nearly a divorce when her hubby was replanting it and managed to snap it in two. Ooops!

  34. MELISSA FRIEDRICH says

    OH I LOVE THIS LEAF COLOR COMBO, and the red shirt is a perfect contrast! Truly a work of art, Kathy, I’m so inspired (and in awe) of your talents! Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring and encouraging the paper crafting community.

  35. Tracy says

    I received my copy of Sarah ‘s book yesterday it’s really an impressive presentation Kathy , as is your finished painting !!!!

  36. Tona says

    Another great card!
    It’s just me & my husband for Thanksgiving , so it should be a nice quiet day.

  39. Lisa Byers says

    I love how it turned out!! It really looks 3-D! The leaves are such beautiful colors, you really know what colors to use!!

  40. Heather Mills says

    This is such an interesting image! I love the depth you achieved with your coloring, the leaves look like they are popped up off the page. Thanksgiving will be spent with family and friends enjoy lots of yummy food!

  52. Avra N Williams says

    This turned out spectacular! My kids are coming home for Thanksgiving. Just the 4 of us so I don’t go overboard with the food – just a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

  53. Traci Starkweather says

    Hi Kathy!

    This is SO COOL looking! Those leaves are wonderful and I love the colors together! What gave you the idea to do that?

    I must add my voice to the chorus. Those Jean’s are fantastic looking! I wish mine were as soft and comfy as those look!

    …and, when is Canadian Thanksgiving and what’s it about? Aye, any Canadians out there?

    The cooking chaos has not yet begun here. It’s ok though. My Mom starts planning in July! Last year we had 32 desserts for 14 people! (We dont like to cook, but we all love to bake!

      Hi, Canadian Thanksgiving is the 2nd Monday in October. I think it’s like yours. We have a big turkey dinner, usually with pumpkin pie for dessert. Wow, 32 desserts for 14 people! That’s my kind of Thanksgiving!

  63. Danielle Vincent says

    My mom is cooking and I’m bringing pies for Thanksgiving. All my kids will be home too. Very thankful. This turned out so lovely.

  64. Gail Plaskiewicz says

    I love how it looks all finished! You are so good at this & I am learning. I think I’m getting the hang of it. For Thanksgiving we have it at my house because my mom is the only one who has a table big enough for everyone. There are 4 of us now that my dad passed away 2 years ago, my sister has 2 kids but my niece lives in FL & she can’t come home so it’s just my nephew. Before my cousin goes to FL to stay with his dad for the winter he will have Thanksgiving with us. We are having a small turkey & a turkey breast, Paula Deans recipe for green bean casserole, a Penn. Dutch recipe for mashed potatoes with bacon, celery & onions in them, crescent rolls & maybe popovers, Mac & cheese because my nephew wanted that, stuffing, gravy, frozen corn because my nephew loves that & hardly eats veggies, raw shrimp for appetizers, & my mom bought some gourmet brownies for dessert. I am making myself hungry just talking about it! LOL I hope those who celebrate have a blessed Thanksgiving. Kathy, I pray for you everyday & I am thankful for you.
