{SPECIAL EVENT} Celebrate National Coloring Book Day with the STAMPlorations Girls + Download the Color Blooms Page Sampler & Link Up!


Hey, STAMPlorations friends! Today is National Coloring Book Day and we're celebrating here on the blog! The STAMPlorations girls took out their favorite coloring mediums and started coloring a page from COLOR BLOOMS, our first coloring book for grownups -- specially created for the cardmaker, crafter, and mixed media artist in you!

We'd love for you to celebrate this event too so we've made the Color Blooms page sampler available for everyone to download, print, and color! And for a chance to win a copy of the Color Blooms coloring book, simply share a photo of the Color Blooms page sampler that you've colored and link it up at the end of this post. The linky is open until Sunday, August 7, so you have plenty of time to have some coloring fun!

Here are samples of how the STAMPlorations girls colored the pages in Color Blooms.

TANJA
Tanja used Inktense pencils, Stabillo All pencil, and Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors to color her page.

Deepti used Sharpie markers to color the dogwood.

  13. Dear Shery, thank you for the awesome colouring page! I've been wanting more practice with my new Bic Mark-its and I really had fun with your page! I would be thrilled to win your colouring book! I have recently taken an interest in the adult colouring craze and I am loving what I'm seeing of your new book! Your DT's samples are gorgeous! I really like how the text on the pages makes the florals pop! Your pages are different than any of the books I've looked at! - I really like your style! And I didn't know there was a national day for colouring books so thanks for letting me know!

  14. Thank you very much for this sampler page. I didn't know it is so much fun. I am just sad I can not print it on watercolor paper at home - it is just too thick. I loved your projects and coloring and so many bright colors. Beautiful book.
