Altenew is collaborating with the amazing Kathy Racoosin from The Daily Marker to inspire crafters to find joy through coloring. Kathy is celebrating her 16th 30 Day Coloring Challenge until 5/7/2020. Please encourage your followers/blog visitors to participate in the 30 Day Coloring Challenge by coloring something and share it on social media using the hashtag #TheDailyMarker30Day. We hope they find “Me Time” and enjoy the benefits that coloring will give.
I LOVE to color and
Kathy Racoosin has been a huge influence for me. Her challenge
#TheDailyMarker30Day is a fun way to get that 10 minutes of coloring a day in as well as supporting other colorists by LIKING/commenting/ Encouraging them as they share their colored projects on social media. I've participated in several years of the challenge and enjoyed being an Ambassador for
Kathy and her 7th challenge
. Coloring 10 minutes a day, has increased my skills and is a great stress reliever too!
This first one is some messy watercoloring on the
A Study in Watercolor Stamp & Die Bundle which I die cut onto
Watercolor Paper Set (A2 loose sheets) and then lightly stamped with Sea Breeze crisp ink.
After allowing the flowers to dry, I created a cluster that looks like Hollyhocks on top of a
Flowing Drops Stencil. and finished with a strip of
Golden Strokes Washi tape and
Sequins - Antique Gold.
Let me tell you a bit about this Background. It was created as Homework for Day 2
Demystifying Mixed Media at
Altenew Academy When creative MOJO is low, the classes at the Academy are my first source of inspiration! I highly recommend looking into them :)

Since there was so much color left on my palette from the above card, I tried painting a few free hand florals. this was the best I could come up with. Check out the hot mess below.
And now I am again reminded how blessed we are to have access to so many outline flower stamps at Altenew, because what I paint is no where near as realistic as what I was hopping for!
Good ol' splatters and color washes to make it look like I meant it to be that way :)))
Dancing Tulips among the Forget-Me-Nots
Sending Colorful Blessings your way.
