Welcome to "The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge" Blog Hop. Kathy Racoosin - from The Daily Marker - loves to color and she is hosting her fifth 30 DAY COLORING CHALLENGE. The premise of the challenge is to color something everyday even if it’s just for five minutes. It doesn’t matter what you color or what medium you use. Today Kathy has assembled a blog hop to give your creativity a jump start with some very talented ladies.
I am honored to be included in today's hop. And for my project, I wanted to share a fun Cath Kidston inspired background created with Copic Markers and the Copic Airbrush System.
Kathy makes sure to remind us that the goal is just to take a little time to color over the next 30 days and not to worry about completing anything. So in the video below, I'm sharing how I created this background from start to finish. I haven't turned it into a card just yet...but it's ready and waiting for me when I am ready.
Watch above or watch in HD at YouTube

ReplyDeleteAmazing from start to finish.
ReplyDeleteDawn, beautiful shabby background, you should make it paper or a stamp we can buy! Really cute bitty flowers. Love watching your videos, I always learn so much. I really love your bow and thumb ring, can I ask where you got them? I've been wearing them for over 25 years and am always looking for new styles. Your nail polish is so dainty and pretty, did you paint the flowers yourself? Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

ReplyDeleteLove the background made.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love love love this! Even though I am an absolute anti-fan of Cath Kidston's designs lol... but somehow on your card panel it looks great! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Fabulous work! Great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI envy your talent! Beautiful...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love your background. Looks like a piece of old-fashioned wallpaper. I was curious to know about the air-brush. Will it connect to an electric compressor machine or does it only connect to the canned air? I've done airbrushing on ceramics and it was a relaxing technique as well.
ReplyDeleteWOW WOW WOW!!!!amazing..and SUPER Gorgeous!In love with it!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful background and great video!
ReplyDeleteWow! Your talent always amazes me...happily, your enthusiasm makes me brave enough to pick up a brush and try!

ReplyDeletewow. Patience and skill, amazing!
ReplyDeleteJust love this! Learned a lot. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful look and colors.
ReplyDeleteI never knew Coptic had an air brush.
Thanks for sharing
Fantastic tutorial. I'm awed that you can pick up a Copic marker and draw flowers. I'll try it, but I'm grateful that WPlus9 has awesome floral layering stamps ;-)
ReplyDeleteDawn, you are so talented. Amazing work.
ReplyDeleteNow that is some impressive work! Looks so perfect!
ReplyDeleteSooooooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteWow! Soooo pretty! You make it look so easy. I appreciate the encouragement to just go for it.
ReplyDeleteThat was incredible! How you got seemingly random marks to transform into those beautiful roses was amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis is just so pretty! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteWow--this was amazing. I know you kept saying it was easy, but I think it's easy if you have the gift for it, and clearly you do. I LOVE the look you created so much. I might try my hand at it, but I'll have to work up my courage. Don't have the airbrush thingy, but I'll bet you could ink blend to get something similar. Thank you so much for doing this. It was really wonderful to watch.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card Dawn, the soft blue that frames the flowers looks so pretty. Lots of colouring.
ReplyDeleteVery nice job and color selection- thanks for sharing and for the chance to win the class!
ReplyDeleteWow! How inspiring! You're right, I need to practice (practice, practice, practice...) Thanks for sharing such a great freehand background! -Jill H.
