Welcome to "The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge" Blog Hop.  Kathy Racoosin from The Daily Marker wants to share her love of coloring with you and we are so excited to be a part of it. Today Kathy has assembled a blog hop to give your creativity a jump start with some of her favorite stamp companies & Online Card Class partners.


The premise of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is to color something everyday even if it’s for five minutes. (However feel free to  jump in or out as time permits). Any coloring medium is welcomed. Click here to find out where to share what you are coloring and join the encouraging community of happy colorists PLUS answers to other questions you may have.



To start at the beginning of the hop go to The Daily Marker.  If you are coming from the blog of  Altenew you are in the right place. Kathy has the full blog hop list if you encounter a broken link.

For today's hop I stamped and colored the gorgeous flower image from our new Mimosas Stamp Set and some of my favorite Copic markers.  I die cut the image and popped it up onto a Double Pierced Square die cut.  After stamping and embossing the thank you sentiment from our Sip Sip Hooray stamp set and tying on some Aquamarine Twine the card was complete.  I really enjoyed this challenge!



Now head on over to the next company on the hop - W-Plus 9



GIVEAWAYS: 

We are happy to give a $50 Avery Elle gift certificate to one random commenter on this blog post telling us what your favorite type of image to color is (people, flowers, animals, graphic designs, etc)! You have until Midnight EST March 9th to comment. We will announce the winner here on this blog on Friday March 10th.

During the hop you will also find lots of other giveaways along the way.  The full list of ALL  winners from the individual blogs will be announced on The Daily Marker blog Sunday March 12th.

THE GOAL IS:  To color something daily even if it's a few minutes but, certainly not required. It’s  been proven that coloring can lower your blood pressure & make you feel happy and relaxed so it’s worth carving out a little time for yourself each day. You will find that Kathy encourages you along the way to stretch your creativity a little bit more and to feel successful with your coloring.

Unknown said...

Hello :-) my favorite at the moment is critters

Unknown said...

I have a lot of favorite things that I love to color. I love flowers! I love them so much that if I could, I would have an amazing flower garden in my front yard with flowers of every color. There is so much you can do with flower stamps and you don't just have to color them the color they are supposed to be, like yellow daisy's or blue hyacinths. You can make them rainbow colored or use glitter. I love to think outside of the box for things like that. My world is very colorful.
I also love to color images like polka dots. You can also do a lot with them. I love trees or fall leaves because I have been known to have fun with them too like making snow on the trees for winter or making the leaves variegated colors of green or red or yellow.
Last but not least I love to color anything Christmas or Easter. For Easter I love that you can use pastel colors and for Christmas I love red and green and glitter and silver and gold.
As you can probably tell right now, I love to color, period, end of story! LOL Thanks for giving us a chance to see your pretty card and for giving us the chance to win something. When I win i promise I will spend my money wisely. LOL

Heather R said...

Flowers all the way! There are so many varying colors in nature.

I love this card, and I love that the flowers are left white with a very soft coloring, and only the leaves are colored, it is calling out loud for Spring.

karenelr said...

I'm just recently getting into coloring and the different mediums. I like using my copics, but I'm interested in using watercolors more too. I think I color mostly flowers and cute animals.
