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

Hmm, I tried to enter a comment yesterday and I don't think it worked; let's see if I can get it this time around.

I love coloring flowers, with animals a close second. I admit I've not tried people; they're rather daunting to color.

My favorite thing to color... flowers!

Karen @ Misplaced Mojo said...

Based on the sheer number of flower stamp sets I own, I'm gonna say it must be flowers! Not necessarily cause I don't like critters or other stuff, I just suck at doing textures like fur, scales, etc. Plus flowers are so versatile.

Love this sweet little card! My favorite images to color tend to be animals or critters, but through this challenge I am hoping to expand my coloring skills and preferences.

Mary Holshouser said...

I don't know that I have a favorite image.
I use whatever fits in with the design of
the card that I'm making. I purchase
stamps based on the idea of the set -
cute animals, something to make a fun picture
(like related circus items).
guess I'm fickle.
thanks for sharing.

Flowers are easiest for me, more challenged with the animation of people and pets. Would love to learn some techniques to improve my animated coloring!

Brand6 Duncan said...

That's a tough question. I like to color everything. It just depends on the mood I'm in. I guess my favorite thing to color is people, although I don't have as many stamps of them as I would like. There is a tie for second between flowers and animals. It all depends on my mood.

deesdesigns said...

When I look at my stamp sets, I'd have to say cute critters although I have quite the eclectic collections of stamps.

I love to color anything and everything. But if I have to pick one as a favorite, it would be flowers as I love to shade, add dimension to the flowers and leaves and they are so versatile as card embellishments. I love your card, it's simple, but beautiful. Thanks for the chance to win.

Laura Peddicord said...

My favorite thing/ to color are animals. They seem to have so many different personalities which you can color in a way to emphasize it or to create your own personality for the animal. Your flowers are very elegant because they look so "pure" in the off-white color. Thank you for sharing your work with everyone.

I love coloring flowers, because I grew up in the desert, where they didn't grow. If I wanted flowers, I had to color my own! Thanks for the chance to win.

Karenladd said...

My favorite way to color is with water color pencils, or markers. I am trying my best to learn how to use alcohol markers but still a beginner there. I like coloring cute critters and whimsical flowers the most. Thanks for the chance to win and for sharing.

My favourite to colour are cute "critters"... hedgehogs, bears, penguins... or anything cute. They are so quick to do and adorable at the end.

I think my favorite thing to color is animals/critters. Although, I did color a Santa in his sleigh with reindeer that I was really happy with. I find flowers to be the hardest for some reason. I just can never get the depth to make them look real!

KrystaJQ said...

I love coloring almost anything but florals are a favorite.
