**VIDEO+GIVEAWAY** No-Line Watercoloring (30 Day Coloring Challenge)

March 2, 2017

Hello and welcome to the brand-new 30 Day Coloring Challenge! I am so excited to be a part of this fun blog hop to celebrate the beginning of a new challenge. 

If you aren’t familiar with this challenge, you must know about it! My dear friend Kathy from the Daily Marker started this cool challenge last year and it has been so popular. The purpose of this challenge is to take a few minute each day to color something.

It doesn’t have to be fancy or anything. And if you can’t you don’t need to feel pressured to color every day. Whenever you can is good! This is a great way to distress and relax at it has definitely helped me a lot whenever I participate.

My goal during this challenge is to go out of my comfort zone and play with various coloring mediums and try different techniques. So, for today’s project, I decided to do a no-line watercoloring. I think I only did 1 time and it was kind of a quick, cheating way – so for me to really do try this technique I had to just let go of my normal self and learn to enjoy the process itself.


This was also my first time really using the Dr. Ph. Martins Radiant Concentrated Watercolors and I have to say it is so much fun! A little goes a very long way – and they are so transparent, I love how the end result came out to be.

Coloring can me so soothing and relaxing. This is one of my favorite ways to relax after a hard day at work or when I am feeling down and just need some me-time.

I hope you give coloring a try and color something every day during this challenge. Remember to share your projects with all of us on Instagram by using #TheDailyMarker30Day so we can check them out. Can’t wait to see what you will color!

THANK YOU for sharing your video, it was wonderful to watch as you watercoloured the flower (I need to use a much lighter touch and pick up less colour with my brush, using the markers for the leaves was clever too) – I’m INSPIRED 🙂

    May the new year is a much brighter and happier one for all of us- Happy New Year 💕 
#scrapsandstamps #alcoholink #2021 #newyear #altenew
    Happy Holidays and for those who are celebrating, Merry Christmas- Many of us are spending today in an unusual way this year, and many of us are also remembering those we lost. I ask that you keep others in your thoughts this holiday season 💕 sending hugs and loves to your way ❤️❤️

Made cookies and cheesecake brownies for our next door neighbors who are spending today alone. I added a little touch with stamps and inks to dress up the cookie boxes 🎁
#scrapsandstamps #holidaygifts #handmade
    Happy view 🥰🥰 New ink storage system for my office/studio desk. I wanted the most used inks right at my fingertips and these Alex drawers hold them perfectly. I am keeping both full sized and cubes together, along with 1 mini cube blending tool for each color family. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #scrapsandstamps #inkstorage #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homestudio
    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

#scrapsandstamps #craftroom #craftroomorganization #homeoffice #srudio #givethanks
    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches
    Hello, beautiful! (Yes, you!) ❤️ Spring (or summer) floral wreath 🌼🌺 - created effortlessly with brand new stamp from #altenew 💕 sending early summer warmth to your way, hope you are having a great week! 🥰🥰 #scrapsandstamps #handmadecards #handmade #cardmaking #layeredstamping #altenewblossomwreath
    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

#calligraphy #brushlettering #handlettering
    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
