As I continue on my quest to color as much as possible for Kathy Racoosin’s 30 Day Coloring Challenge, I realized I needed to pack a little smarter on some of my trips. So last week I pre-stamped some images and picked some of my Zig Clean Color Markers to bring along to work on during layovers. I posted some of what I did on Instagram and you may have seen part of this image there. I had hoped it would work for the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge this week and it totally did! I am the sketch hostess this week and the big open panel lends itself to all kinds of fun things (I hope!).
I stamped these pretty images from Altenew’s Beautiful Day with WPlus9 Black Dye Ink and used a little bit of masking to cluster the flowers. The zigs did all the work on the coloring. I love how easy it is to create shading with only a couple of markers! I added the little piece of DSP in a color similar to the flower centers and then pulled out some sequins from the Watercolor Wishes kit that complement the colors. The Soft Sky base is pretty with the light blue of the little flowers.
Our team has its normal amazing variety so make sure you go tell the gals how much you love their work! Ok…back to work! But I did bring some more coloring along. I’ll post on Instagram if I get some time on this trip to play! Until next time, hope you have a great week!
Stamps: Beautiful Day (Altenew); Paper: Ranger Watercolor, Soft Sky, DSP; Ink: Zig Clean Color, WPlus9 Black Dye Ink; Accessories: Watercolor Wishes Sequins (SU), Zig Brush2O Water Pen

You are making me want to dig out those Zigs and get coloring! This is absolutely stunning! The flowers in both corners is a great look and the simple black sentiment is perfect!

LOVE your layout. The gorgeous flower at the bottom with the hint of flower at the top is a great “frame” for the sentiment.
