Day 3. Colorado Craft Co plus Giveaway

Hello Friends, Welcome to Day 3. of The 30 Day Coloring Challenge. If you are new to the challenge a warm welcome to you. Click here to read what the heck I might be talking about.

How are you all doing so far?  Getting into the challenge? If you are sitting and watching from the fence that’s pretty great too.

Today Colorado Craft Company is releasing THREE new “Big and Bold” animals!! YES please! The collection includes Stand Tall, Llama Just Saying and Love You Tons!  I love big stamps and I find them more enjoyable to color plus easier to get a nice blend of color. This beautiful new “Love You Tons” elephant would look great colored with distress ink and a blender brush. I chose to watercolor her and I have a video for you …. a full sized video with words lol. Not one of my 60 second videos.

This “Perfume Bouquet”  is so pretty with the flowers on top and l I just had to stamp it on the elephants ear so she resembles an elephant in a festival or something. I inked her up with Warm Glow ink on some cold pressed paper. A lazy crafter is really what I am and that’s why I love using watercolor markers and will be using them for my coloring today.

Here is a ph0to of the collection of three .. Big and Bold animals . I can’t wait to paint the other two. Right now you can only find these stamps at Simon Says Stamp. The giraffe, the lama and the elephant. Stand Tall, Llama Just Saying and Love You Tons!

GIVEAWAY! Check out the Colorado Craft Company’s Facebook Page and leave a comment there. They will pick THREE winners for these new stamp sets.

Thank you for your visit today it’s always so appreciated. See you tomorrow and happy coloring! Hugs, Kathy

    This is one good looking elephant… love the beautiful flower you added too. I recently bought a St. Patrick’s Day set from Colorado Craft and I have to say it was too fun to use. It stamped beautifully and I can’t wait for my granddaughters to get their cards. They are still trying to trap a leprechaun!!

    • Kathy Racoosin says

      March 20, 2020 at 5:36 pm

    I love that you gave the elephant flowers on his ear.
    Thank you so much for the video and sharing your always stunning work!
    Happy colouring and see you tomorrow .
