Do you have one of those adult colouring books and you can't think of hat to do with the finished pages?
There are many many of these books that you can buy but consider the feel of the paper inside. Some of it is is glossy and you will not get a good result from it.
This is the one that I have, and I have had it for years. I got mine at a Craft Show I went to a long time ago.
The paper is matt and smooth and really nice to colour on.I stick to colouring pencils on this and I use a paper stump to blend and I am happy with the result.
Alcohol markers would tend to bleed through the paper and water colours would make it buckle.
I always keep a thicker piece of board behind the page I am colouring to prevent and indentation on the sheet underneath.
If your intention is to turn them into cards as I have then I would advise you to colour in the smaller designs.
The larger patterned ones will get lost on a small card and you won't get to see all of the fine detail.
Consider some of the patterns as well and not just the florals as these can make an unusual background for your other embellishments.
I coloured these pretty flowers out and then die cut the shape and layered it onto black card to create a 6x6" card
It has been added to an embossed background and the bow just adds the finishing touch.
The sentiment of your choice will complete your look and there is your card ready to send.
This can be a cheaper way of getting the look then buying lots of different stamps, and I find colouring so relaxing so a double bonus for me.
This card is 5x7" and I added a card banner around the bottom with my greeting.
The large Celebrate adds the final touch to this one and it could be for any occasion.
If you have this kind on book then dig it out and see what you can make from it. Colouring is not just for kids.
More tomorrow ...
