Do You STRUGGLE with COLORING? Try This...

Do you struggle with coloring? Maybe you've got a whole list of reasons why you can't color...
It takes too much time, you need serious skill, it gets so expensive between all the fancy coloring supplies! Maybe it’s just not for you.

I love how you tackle the why as well as the how in your videos. Very uplifting!

[@inkhillrevival289]

Thank you, Lindsay! Super kind of you!! 🥰🥰

[@alwaysCHItee]

I feel like a broken record when I comment on your videos. But you are SERIOUSLY a breath of fresh air! I ❤️❤️❤️ your approach to crafting and how you turn cant’s into cans. The beginning of your video is me minus the baby 😂. I will definitely be giving these techniques a try. Thank you once again for creating a space where crafting is stress-free.

[@inkhillrevival289]

Awwww that means so much to me!!! Thank you 🥰

[@marianb2274]

I have binged more craft videos over the years than I would like to admit and I have NEVER seen these ideas. Well done! I am so impressed with your content and presentation. Keep up the awesome work and THANK YOU for sharing!

[@inkhillrevival289]

Awww thank you, Marian!!! What a huge compliment 🥰

[@kathylovesmk]

Love these tips! Sometimes I'm too literal and can't think outside the box. Thanks so much!

[@inkhillrevival289]

Thank you! 🥰 I really enjoy letting go of realism sometimes. Coloring becomes more fun for me that way and I actually really like unrealistic styles whenever I see them! Win win!

[@ilemsanmartin996]

Got my Sizzix Big Shot from my daughter for Christmas. Haven’t opened it yet because December was a difficult month my Babes tested positive with Covid and was sent home from work. On the 8th of December was our 32nd Anniversary couldn’t celebrate it since he was in the spare room. Two days later ended up in the hospital by ambulance. He was doing so good we would FaceTime but then he passed on the 28th. Three days earlier my sister passed also after 18 days of being intubated. I’m still in shock. He was so fit and healthy and 52 years old. Hopefully soon I’ll get into the craft room that I was setting up after loosing my Mama a year ago. Loving all your tutorials, Blessings Girl! 🤩🤩🤩

[@inkhillrevival289]

I’m so very sorry to hear what you’re going through. You are strong and wonderful! ❤️❤️ Don’t even worry about that craft space or getting going again. It’ll happen when you’re ready. For now all that craftiness can wait patiently for you, no pressure.

[@CynthiaMartinez-to4fy]

1:10 These words were much needed in this moment, even if it does not pertain to crafting: "You actually have a choice of what you want to think". By the way, I appreciate your videos.

[@jeffmiller8209]

Love this! Thank you, Kerry!

[@olivemaycards]

These are really great ideas! Definitely some I want to try that I would never have thought of. I love the masked pot plant. I have been practicing coloring by doing the 100 day project and it helps, a little improvement every day. I also like stamping and embossing on patterned paper (sometimes just a simple watercolor wash) and then fussy cutting to piece an image together. It works well for simple shapes and big florals. A little shading can make the image pop.

[@inkhillrevival289]

Thanks so much, Jo! That’s an awesome choice for your 100 day project! I could see what a huge difference that would make to coloring confidence. Patterned paper is so good to use with outline stamps! Love all your suggestions.

[@JenAultman]

How fabulous! No more negative self-talk, instead….create around the “weakness” OR let this begin to inspire. I’m thinking….try some of your techniques and sometimes lightly shade over stamped “coloring” to get me going. 🥰 TY!

[@inkhillrevival289]

Yes exactly that!! I loved hearing your take away, Jen! Thanks so very much ❤️❤️
