Hello Friends, How are you? Did you have a crafty weekend? Today is the “last” day of The Pop Up Challenge but, I decided to extend part of it to give you all more time. Some of you left comments that you felt behind or didn’t have enough time and that’s the last thing that I want. Even tho I won’t post the next few day you can continue to upload to my blog and on Instagram. Will that help?
REMINDER … it’s all about lines today in case you are just popping by. I thought it would be good to focus on the “line” that gave me the idea of a line theme.TINY LINES! It seems appropriate to start with the little lines and give them a grand finale.
I am so in love with these butterflies from Clearly Besotted. You might want to act quick before they sell out if you like them… (I noticed they are sold out at Simon). Adding the tiny lines or eyelash lines around each butterfly gives them even more pizzaz! This is the dream marker for fine tiny lines.
Lots of masking on this card but, I really enjoy the look you get when you mask images. This time I used my post it tape to mask off the butterflies.
In the video I’m sharing how I did the eyelash lines & a quick review of the multiliner set. (coupon code “COPICB2S” for 20% off)
I colored these butterflies on the airplane and I went crazy a little crazy and added the eyelashes everywhere and now it’s hard to stop lol.
The Pop Up Challenge is concluded until the next Pop Up. (you can continue to share for the next two days) I will announce the winners by the end of the week. AND just a reminder The 30 Day Coloring Challenge starts October 1.
Thanks for your visits, your support and your enthusiasm! Hugs, Kathy

Wowzers!!! Gorgeous cards!! Those butterflies are so stunning!!

I’m so happy that I can play along this time! I’ve always wanted to join a 30day color challenge, but during the school year I don’t have lots of free time! :/

luv how the “eyelash” lines give a sense of movement too!
Love how you stamp flat first and then add the pop-up butterfly.
I never remember to do that. It does make a difference.
thanks for sharing.
Your card and butterflies–simply stunning…!!! Thank you for this pop-up challenge…I always learn new things…
Your beautiful card is wonderful. Especially love your color choices … and the eyelashes!
Beautiful cards on the video. Thank you for the tutorial about the widths of the multiliners. I have 2 of the Copics. I really enjoy the thin lines. The butterflies are absolutely beautiful. Especially the blues.
I’m so amazed how much the eyelashes change the look if an image.Thank you for showing this priceless little add on.Blessed day Kathy
Hey Kathy – Sorry I have been so behind…..I was pretty sick for a bit, but am happily MUCH better and had some great health news last week. My Lung tumor is GONE, and they are optimistic that my brain tumor has shrunk more too! Having an MRI this week to find out.
Hope you are having wonderful Summer…I feel like I missed much of mine, but I’m thrilled to be winning my battle and on the mend.
Love ALL your wonderful projects, videos and inspiration….Hugs to you! Please know I think about you and the Girls, all the time, even when I can’t be online and posting.

Keep the good news coming. Stay strong and colorful. Hopefully you can join me the 3rd 30 Day Coloring Challenge that starts Oct. 1. Thinking of you and sending you hugs back. 🙂
Thank you for extending the challenge, really wanted to join in but has been away the whole weekend doing the first two copic certification courses and didn’t take with me proper paper to play along. But will be sitting down and play with lines and my copics 🙂 Hugs Marika (craftybit)
I love how the eyelash lines are the finishing touch!
This is too funny!! Remember I said that I was reading your mind? Last night I couldn’t sleep and so I went to my craft room and stamped some butterflies and did the little lines around the images! This is getting to be like the Twilight Zone! LOL Will share later after I finish layering them!
Thanks for doing these Pop-Up challenges! It has been fun and has gotten me out of my comfort zone! TTYL and have a great day! TFS!
I love butterflies and your cards today are absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for showing the Copic set and the different widths. I used a fine tip Sharpie and wasn’t happy with the results so I will definitely try the Copic width you used in the video. Looking forward to your next challenge when it pops up!
STUNNING!
Beautiful coloring. Thanks so much.
Beautiful cards. Love the eyelashes <3

Love the little lines you added to the butterflies! I made enough watercolor pieces for 8 cards, so thanks for the motivation. One is finished for the challenge, but i’m going to take my time with the others. Whew! Loads of fun! Thanks for doing it!

Your butterflies are just so beautiful. They are flying jewels. I’m so happy you’re keeping the gallery open for a few more days. I hate to see the challenges end and hope to go back and do a few more again. Thank you Kathy for the challenges, good fun and great inspiration.
Both cards are beautiful, but my favorite is the one with the green and blue, so pretty!!
Beautiful cards Kathy!! Love your coloring..
These butterflies are amazing! I may have to find this stamp set, love them! The lash lines really do add, look great. Thanks for this challenge, I’ve been having some fun with it. I look forward to October, starting to gather stuff to color, even purchased my first adult coloring book! So fun!
Hi Kathy!
Great cards again,your butterflies are just gorgeous! Yesterday I was making a card & thought I’d try the lines around the edge (like a frame) and mine didn’t look ANYTHING like yours,I didn’t like it at all and ended up scrapping that card.Guess I need to practice a lot more 🙂
Gorgeous cards. Butterflies are one of my favorites to use on cards. Lovely eyelashes. 😉
I love butterflies and your cards are beautiful. I like the look the eyelash lines give to an image. Just adds a little more depth. Great design…TFS
That is a beautiful stamp set and my goodness you did those butterflies justice! I cannot believe the difference the tiny lash lines have made. I have to go ahead and try some of these wonderful techniques
Gorgeous butterflies, Kathy! Love all of the cards.
Love this card and going to have to get one of those pens so I can try the eyelashes 🙂
This is absolutely stunning I never tire of your work and I am so appreciative of the time you put into sharing your projects along the way being so very informative!!!
Really exquisite card Kathy the colors are perfect too!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for extending the challenge date!
I really want to play but have been soooo busy. Worked 11 hr day Friday then rushed off to my sister’s 50th party. All day Saturday was spent at a family picnic. Housework and errands took up Sunday. Then I had another busy 11 hrs day at work today.
I am creating a card {or two} right now to add tomorrow. Yipee!
Your butterfly cards are gorgeous! Butterflies always remind me of my Momma. When I see one flittering about I feel like she is sending me a little hello from heaven.
Crafty hugs,

I am so glad you are giving us more time!! I’ve been swamped!! School started at two of my kids colleges and so we been taking road trips and such. Pretty exhausted!!
AWESOME cards Kathy! I’m SO excited that you’re doing another 30 day color challenge. I’m going to try really hard to play along with you!
I liked how you said/suggested ‘straight’ lines don’t have to be perfectly straight to look great–& you were right–everyone’s cards looked grest! Thanks for inspiring us all!!
I love those butterflies, and the colors that you chose are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. Take care, Kim 🙂
These eyelash lines gives the butterfly even more sweetness, very nice work!
Beautiful butterflies & the perfect inspiration
The CB butterflies are really nice. You do such a nice job coloring, too. I agree with you, the tiny eyelash lines add a lot of subtle interest to your work. Thank you.
The tiny lines looks so beautiful and delicate!
Oh my goodness these are absolutely gorgeous! I love the butterflies, the colors, the layout LOVE everything! So beautiful!
Those “eyelash” strokes are the perfect finishing touch–especially on the edge of butterflies! Wow! And sadly those butterflies are OOS everywhere, probably thanks to YOU! Everyone’s on waiting lists! XO
Beautiful cards. Love your coloring.
WOW! You have such a great talent for coloring & doodling! Those butterflies are fantastic!
Wonderful butterflies and I love making little marks like your eyelash lines! Your coloring is beautiful! Thanks, Kathy!
Beautiful butterflies! Love the coloring!
Just wanted to thank you again for organising this challenge, I really enjoyed it and it has given me a lot of enthusiasm towards colouring, especially with your video tutorials. Looking forward to the next Pop Up challenge now!
Really, really enjoy watching you create your beautiful cards. Particularly liked your pop up ideas for coloring abstract line drawings. Loved the blue-green butterflies too. Use you outlining tips with the warm and cool grays. Thx for helping me find a latent creative outlet.
Love this idea. Your butterflies are beautiful , great details. Thanks for sharing.
OH MY! I LOVE THEM! They are gorgeous. You truly showed what can evolve with dedication, patience, and being crazy. Now I am imagining those dumb cute birds with eyelids AND eyelashes…… You are such an artist. I’ve been behind a bit this week as I have been so sick. (Went to doctor to get sick) I have to do this card or bribe you or something. It is most definitely a work of art (both colors). Remind me of my mom. Thank you! ~M~
What lovely butterflies, Kathy. I would have loved to have seen you finish your butterfly cork board project. Maybe one day I’ll attempt one of my own. I LOVE your cards. Your butterflies are beautiful.
