Video: The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge Blog Hop + Giveawawy

by May Park-

Happy Friday! This is Day 1. of a two-day hop to celebrate the 10th 30 Day Coloring Challenge hosted by the fabulous Kathy Racoosin? If you came from the fantastic Jane’s Doodles blog, you are right on track.

The premise of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is to color something every day even if it’s for five minutes. If you have any questions about “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” you can refer to this post.

I’m sharing a collage of the photos of me and Kathy. Those photos were taken last April while we were at the craft retreat in Ohio. Can you tell we had so much fun together? I can’t believe how lucky I am to have an amazing friend like Kathy. I love her more than stamps, and that’s a lot!! Hehe!

I made this floral card with stamped/colored background for my friend, Kathy. The sentiment says it all! Every small thing that she does make a big difference in my life. So true!

Video Tutorial

I made a video tutorial to show you how to create a floral card from start to finish. You can watch it above or in HD on YouTube. This video includes:

  • Where I get my inspiration when I don’t know what to create
  • How to stamp your images in balance when you create a stamped background
  • How to color a floral image with Prismacolor colored pencils
  • How to add interest to your stamped/colored background
  • How to choose a right sentiment that works well for your card design
  • How to add dimension to your die-cut letter
  • Behind-the-scenes of my craft desk – I hope you relate to my messy desk!

To create my card, I started by stamping the images from Altenew Sweetest Peas Stamp Set with Simon Says Stamp Khaki Ink on a piece of A2 Size Honey Mustard Cardstock from Gina K Autumn Rainbow Pack. FYI, I used Altenew Mega Alphabet S Die to find the placement of my images.

Then I colored my images with Prismacolor Colored Pencils. I started coloring with the darkest color first toward the bottom of my flower and applied medium color near the previous colored area and toward the end of my petal. Then I colored the tip of my petal with a lighter colored pencil.

FYI, here is the list of Prismacolor pencil colors I used for colored pencil coloring.

  • Flowers: PC 928 Rose Farde, PC 929 Rose, PC 994 Rouge Quadrichromie
  • Leaves: PC 912 Vert Pomme, PC 909 Vert Pre, PC 941 Light Umber
  • Stems/outlines: PC 941 Light Umber

After my coloring was done, I added tiny dots to fill in the gaps between each image using Altenew Artist Marker Paper Bag to bring my images together.

Next, I die cut the letter “S” twice using the Mega Alphabet S Die out of my colored panel and white fun form. Then I mounted my colored panel on the A2 size white top folding card base. After attaching two die cut letters using Altenew glue tape, I inlaied my letter on the opening of my colored panel.

FYI, I colored along the side of my fun form letter die cut using a brush tip of Altenew Artist Marker Caramel Toffee to match the color with my panel.

I stamped the sentiment from the Adore You Stamp Set with Simon Says Stamp Clear Ink on a piece of white cardstock and heat embossed it using Altenew Rose Gold Crisp Embossing Powder. Then I cut out my sentiment into a thin banner and mounted it on the card front using 3M foam tape.

Giveaways

To celebrate Kathy’s 10th Coloring Challenge, I’m giving away a $30 Altenew gift certificate. Leave a comment below, telling me what’s your favorite coloring medium. I will announce one lucky winner on June 21st. Good luck!

    Very good website you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics discussed here? I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get feed-back from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Bless you!|

    Hi! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?

    I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives asmr for another platform.
    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the
    direction of a good platform.

    First off I would like to say superb blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
    I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems
    like the first 10 to 15 minutes tend to be lost just trying to figure out how to
    begin. Any recommendations or tips? Thank you!

    I’m amazed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both
    equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
    The problem is something that not enough folks are speaking
    intelligently about. I’m very happy I came across this during my hunt for something concerning this.

    Unquestionably believe that which you stated.
    Your favorite reason appeared to be on the web hosting (bit.ly) the easiest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly do not know
    about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined
    out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a
    signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
