Welcome to The 30 Day Coloring Challenge Blog Hop. Kathy Racoosin from The Daily Marker loves to color and she is hosting her second 30 DAY COLORING CHALLENGE.
The premise of the challenge is to color something everyday even if it’s for five minutes. It doesn’t matter what you color or what you are coloring with. Today Kathy has assembled all of the teachers and guest artists that taught in the popular “Copic Markers for Cardmakers” class on Online Card Classes.
One technique I forget about, but really love is to use my pencils on color card stock. I've chosen Smoke card stock from Simon says Stamp as my base. Then I white embossed the Tim Holtz Flower Garden images (with a little help from some masking fluid to place the stems behind the blossoms).
I used yellows and golden toned pencils to color my flowers and soft grey to add a slight shadow for dimension.
I've shot a video of the process, you can watch it below or in HD on my YouTube channel. I hope you enjoy!
At the end of the hop Kathy from The Daily Marker will have a one time only Coupon Code for $5.00 off the Online Card Class “Copic Markers for Card Makers” to get your mojo going, and a discount code to the Simon Says Stamp store!!
Your next stop on the hop is to Simon Says Stamp!!
Thanks for coming by!

just perfect love it
Your flowers are absolutely beautiful!! LOVE your color choices!! TFS!
Just stunning!
Your card is so pretty! I love how you achieved that look. Hugs, Robin
Such a beautiful card, Shari! I love the tones you used.
Beautiful card - love the white embossing idea:)
Oh, I just love this one! I never woulda thought about golden tones on grey cardstock - awesome.
What a beautiful card! Thanks for the tutorial...I enjoyed it very much.
I LOVE watching you use colored pencils, Shari! Every time I see you create with them, I get inspired, try to use mine and fail! Lol! I'm gonna keep trying though! :) Gorgeous card! ♥
Beautiful!
Love your flower coloring, pretty card!
Lovely coloring, Shari! Beautiful stamp set, too.
Stunning! I get so caught up in using my watercolors and copics that I forget the beauty of colored pencils.
This is beautiful!
fabulous coloring and I like the embossing. beautiful card!
It is awesome. Trying on darker cardstock is great idea.
I have an abundance of colored cardstock that I know I'll never get through. I'm going to start coloring on that, rather than white. It's a great way to do single-layer cards that still pack a punch of color! Thanks for the inspiration!
Beautiful!!! I never would have thought that a flower could look so beautiful on gray card stock. Two questions I have though, I've never seen anyone use an eraser on top of their coloring. Was that to help it blend and to get rid of the individual "lines" of coloring? If so, I'm loving it. And, did you use those same erasers to get the coloring off of the embossing on the cone part of the flower??
WOW - and Then WOW again - this is amazing - you are so fun to watch and your coloring is perfection!! What a lovely card you have created and shared with us - so beautifully done!!
I'm so glad to see you using this stamp set. I love it and thought it would be easy to color with watercolors, etc. It's a little harder than I thought and I have used a no line watercolor technique that came out okay! A distress marker technique came out okay, too. I love the colored pencils on the colored cardstock and will definitely try this. I need to practice lots more, but I love the flowers in this set and especially the coneflower. Thanks for the great idea.
You've inspired me to get out my colored pencils for the Challenge! Love the look of pencil on colored cardstock... so rich and rather unexpected.

How absolutely beautiful is this card? I'm so new to crafting, I always stick with white, but I might be brave and branch out and try something coloured instead. Thank you for the inspiration.
Really lovely Shari!
Very pretty card and I like the way you masked just part of the flower to stamp the stem. Good job. TFS

This was such an interesting video to watch as you shaded and applied the color. I love this card
Simply amazing - jaw dropping gorgeous. Plus you used one of my favorite color combos! Think I know what blouse I am wearing to work tomorrow now! Now that that is solved - if I could just find some time to do a little coloring of my own!
Pretty
Beautiful, Shari! Thank you for sharing this technique. I will definitely have to give it a try!
Beautiful card and great technique. Thank you for the inspiration,
can't wait to give it a try.
It was fascinating to watch you achieve such beautiful colors when using a cardstock base that already had color. Your technique of using the shading was very helpful.
I always find it interesting coloring on something other than white. Always enjoy your work!
Hi thanks for sharing all your wonderful tips you used making this very pretty card. I, to use (or should I say, try to use as I'm just a learner when it comes to water colouring) water colouring pencils. I love the way you've gone over your colouring and heat embossed....very clever! Janelle x
Just gorgeous, Shari. I have just received an e-mail from SSS telling me that this flower set and some other TH goodies I managed to snag at a discount this weekend have shipped. I've been looking in admiration to your sharp pencils. What's your secret? Thanks also for showing me I can use my gesso to add splatters to a darker background.
Beautiful card, love the yellows against the grey.
i love your water coloring.this is a vry lovely crd.
Wow,love the look, looks like I will be playing with my colored pencils today
I love the contract between the white outline, paper and flowers. Lovely work
Hi Shari,
Absolutely gorgeous as usual. Love the colours you used :)
Gorgeous!
gorgeous card Shari.
Love that stamp. The masking for the stem really makes a difference.
Beautiful card. I love using color pencils. Thank you for inspiring me to pull them out this month. Love the tip on watering down the gesso for splattering effect. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful card and fun coloring! I love this coloring daily thing--very zen like!
This turned out so pretty Sheri. I usually just think white card stock if I want to color, but this grey base is wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
The yellow flowers against the grey is so pretty. Love how the white makes the petals stand out.
Beautiful card.

Your card turned out looking so beautiful. You really did a realistic job on your flowers....love them.

I enjoyed watching you color. I like the white embossing and coloring on the colored cardstock.
Shari, you are a rock star of card making and techniques. Love your card. Those flowers, gorgeous to begin with, come alive with your coloring technique. I am so envious! Cheers. Preparing for a short trip and I might just let some supplies slip into my bag.
