The Coloring Challenge - Road Trip!

Hi friends and happy Sunday!
Class is in session!

Today I'm sharing a little bit of coloring as a participant

 of Kathy Rac's coloring challenge.

Yes ... that Kathy Rac! ♥

She's been an inspiration to me for many years now 

and her celebrated #thedailymarker30day
 is one of my favorite crafting adventures.
  I was so SO sad when she came to Florida to the My Favorite Things boutique
 and the class was sold out so quickly.

It was on my daughter's birthday and about 4.5 hours from my home, one way!

 BUT!

 What's the next best thing?

  Sign up for her new online classes! 

I fell last week and was injured on my dominant right hand

 so I'm coloring one handed-ish and typing one handed-ish

but I. am. determined!

The ER sent me home with instructions to

 'be a little more careful and R.I.C.E. my hand."

I heard 'add a little rice to your hand" and 

thought white rice? brown rice? fried rice?" 

 Is this a new thing?!

My husband says I am constant entertainment.

I'm surprised he takes me out of the house, LOL!

*giggling!*

Back to class!

 I love love LOVE what we've been learning in the classes -

 what to do, what perhaps not to do.

 It's about about learning, practicing, trying our best yet keep it fun!

Which was a great tip for me ~

I'm an adventurous soul by nature.

There's not much I won't try and the higher, the wilder, the better!

However, I'm a cautious cardmaker.

I don't know why.

I fret too much a card design and layout,

is this the right color combo (i.e., "the pinks don't match!")

and I rethink the mess out of most of my image coloring.

I've tossed more than I can count and probably restarted double that.

One thing she's teaching us:

Don't overthink it.

Be Fearless!

I started out with a Gina K Designs Vibrant Blooms stamp and die set.

I think the best flower choice for learning in Class 1 could be bigger, bolder ~

but I was super excited to stamp it up and color it that I just went for it.

It still has the nooks and crannies

and I took a plunge into fearless

 by adding grey, bright orange and brown to my sunflowers.

Is it perfect?

Nope!

But do I love it?
Yep!

I love the pop of color from the orange and the sweet spot white spaces!

I can't wait to make this into a card :)

Thanks for stopping by today!
Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
