Kathy's 30 Day Colouring Challenge Blog Hop

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Kathy's 30 Day Colouring Challenge Blog Hop featuring some of the Hero Hostess Alumni along with some special guests! 


Kathy Racoosin from The Daily Marker loves to colour and she is currently hosting her fifth 30 DAY COLOURING CHALLENGE. The premise of the challenge is to colour something everyday (even if it’s for five minutes). It doesn’t matter what you colour or what medium you use. Just have fun! If you play along and post pictures please use the hashtag #TheDailyMarker30Day so Kathy can find your work...and don't worry if you can't play everyday. Join in when you can. HERE's a video about the 30 Day Colouring Challenge from Kathy herself.


As part of the blog hop Hero Arts is giving away TWO shopping sprees worth $25.00 each! Yay!! (Winners will be randomly picked from the blog hop comments).

The blog hop begins with none other than Jennifer McGuire. If you've been following along you should be arriving from the sweet and talented Cheiron Brandon's blog.

Here's the card I created for today's blog hop:


This next picture shows all the beautiful golden shine:


To make this card I gold heat embossed the Hero Arts Everything Flower Background Stamp on Canson XL Watercolor Paper and coloured it in with Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolors. I gold heat embossed the sentiment from Hero Arts Acts of Kindness Stamp Set on some Neenah Solar White Cardstock and added a strip of gold foil cardstock from DCWV to the bottom before adhering the sentiment to the dried watercolor panel. I die cut the panel using the largest of Simon Says Stamp's Stitched Rectangles Dies and adhered it to my notecard. I finished it off with some beautiful sequins from Lucy Abrams.

The next stop on the hop is the fabulous Emily Leiphart's blog.

Thanks for stopping by!
