The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge Blog Hop - Day 2
Hi, friends!
Technique Tuesday is excited to be taking part in the second day of a fun blog hop celebrating The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge.
Have you heard of the challenge hosted by Kathy Racoosin? The challenge, which started again on June 1st, is all about coloring. This is the 10th time Kathy has hosted this challenge.
The premise of “The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge” is to color something everyday even if it’s only just for five or 10 minutes. However, if you don't have time to commit to taking part in it everyday, you are still invited to play whenever you have time.
All coloring mediums are welcomed. You can upload your projects here or on Instagram or in a private Daily Marker Facebook group. Remember to use the hashtag #thedailymarker30day and tag @kathyrac when you share your projects!
Some of the Technique Tuesday Design Team members have been taking part in the challenge this time.
Jill Dewey Hawkins used markers to color in these adorable peaches and bananas from the Funny Fruits. The wiggle eyes perfectly finish them off!
Kymona Tracey did some stamping and coloring in her planner! She even tied her coloring of the birds from Duck Swan Goose to National Repeat Day. Fun!
Emily Leiphart used watercolors to color in these jellyfish from Sassy Love Your Guts and then put them on card. Don't you love how she added color to the stamped sentiment too?
In need of some coloring inspiration to get going with the challenge (or to get your through it)? We've got some great videos on our website that feature coloring.
This one by Julie features colored pencils and shows you how to do no-line coloring on vellum. It's one of my favorite videos! Julie's results are stunning!
Be sure to check out all the stops on the hop today! There are some prizes up for grabs, plus there's even more coloring inspiration!
And Technique Tuesday is giving away a prize too! Let us what you like to use to color with. Markers, colored pencils or watercolors? We'll pick someone at random to score a $25 gift card to our website. Comments will be taken until midnight on June 17th, 2018. The lucky winner will be announced on June 19th here on our blog.
Happy blog hopping!
The jelly fish sentiment really happened to my friends. Their little boy really not understand that his dad was trying to save him a whole lotta pain!

Adorable little images! I love watercolors.
Posted by: Boryana Y | June 16, 2018 at 10:03 AM
Coloring is definitely not my best skill. I love to see what others have done, though. Love your examples. The wiggly eyes are my favorite...
Posted by: Cindy M | June 16, 2018 at 10:20 AM
The jellyfish is awesome! I color usually with distress inks, now I am trying ecoline and other types of watercolors too...
Posted by: Beatrix Revhelyi | June 16, 2018 at 10:30 AM
I prefer the saturation of color that I get from using alcohol markers. Thanks for sharing your cute colored projects!
Posted by: Amy Cooley | June 16, 2018 at 10:37 AM
Wow, I watched the video from Julie and this is awesome. Great colouring and learningful video.

I like to color with the Zig markers and
with colored pencils. I'm an advanced
beginner - getting more confident with my
work - and these two mediums have been
wonderful to work with. thanks for sharing

Wonderful projects and I like to use Copics or watercolors!

These projects are lovely. Thanks for sharing the technique video. I've only used pencils and watercolours so far, and I prefer the watercolours.

Fabulous colouring all around. Love the googly eyes on those fruit :D
Posted by: Charlotte E (Lady Joyful) | June 16, 2018 at 01:12 PM
Love those googly eyes fruit - so sweet (pun intended! ha!). I am not a good colorer at all, but I do try and my favorite is water coloring (it's more forgiving!).
Posted by: Becca Yahrling | June 16, 2018 at 01:36 PM
Adorable bananas and peaches! Love the wiggly eyes. I like to "watercolor" with ink pads and a water brush. I also enjoy colored pencils and have my eye on trying Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers next.
Posted by: CHRISTINE MILLER | June 16, 2018 at 02:41 PM
Fruit with googly eyes!! How fun! And the sentiment with the jellyfish, LOL!! Thank you for sharing the video. I will definitely have to give that technique a try. Fabulous!! I enjoy coloring with many mediums, but I think Spectrum Noir markers are my current favorite.

I love the google eyes! I like to color with Copics!
Posted by: Meghan Kennihan | June 16, 2018 at 03:22 PM
Love those fruits with the google eyes. Most of the time I use my Copics but I also like my Zig Clean Color Markers.
Posted by: Wendi J | June 16, 2018 at 03:50 PM
My coloring go-to are my alcohol markers. I am working on expanding my horizons, so I'm practicing more with watercolor and colored pencils. I am not sure which is my favorite!!!! Thanks for the diverse sampling of inspiration for this fun hop!
Posted by: Jeannean Marshall | June 16, 2018 at 03:54 PM
Great effect on vellum. My favourite medium is coloured pencils but I'm trying to get to grips with markers as well to advance my images x
Posted by: Andrea Hastilow | June 16, 2018 at 04:24 PM
I am more comfortable coloring with watercolors, but do use pencils and markers too!
Posted by: Janet D. | June 16, 2018 at 05:11 PM

These projects make me grin, which is what they're supposed to do in my book. Thank you so much for sharing the video on the vellum technique. I feel like this should have been so obvious, but it never even occurred to me. I'm definitely going to have to try it! Thank you for sharing and being so generous in your support of Kathy and the challenge.

Posted by: Ericka Strange | June 16, 2018 at 09:42 PM
I use colored pencils the most when coloring. I can't shade as well using markers yet but they say practice makes perfect. I love your jellyfish card and the sentiment. It tickled me! Thanks for sharing all of your designs.
Posted by: Kathy Ferguson | June 16, 2018 at 10:31 PM
Oh my gosh this no line coloring on vellum idea is brilliant. I will be trying this. I am so glad I checked other blogs and finally got a link that worked for the hop. I belong to the animal house but I think I need to change to the flowers.. I love seeing them and but the animals are so cute. love the sentiment on the jelly fish, too too funny. Cute eyes on the critters. Love your stamps and dies.
Posted by: Billie A | June 16, 2018 at 10:45 PM

I'm no great colorist, but do enjoy playing with watercolors to create colorful backgrounds.
