Colouring Cards

Welcome

Just a quick post today - I have been lacking in mojo for some time now.  and while unpacking recently I found a box of small colouring cards, and today I relaxed and coloured... 
then mounted the cards.
The mounts have a small stand on the back so they can stand up on a desk or cabinet


these were fun to colour and mount


My polychromo pencils had a good 'workout' - pencil has become on of my favourite colouring mediums


Thank you for calling in to visit

I am linking these to:

Beautiful way to show Bible quotes Maxine, love both your cards and your pencils colouring. Great have a stand on the back, I remember an old Sizzix Bigz die that made this.

I find colouring-in very relaxing (I guess I should do it more lOL). That last verse is one of my favourites :)

They are just beautiful Maxine. My daughter in law gave me one of those relaxing colouring in books for adults ... I must hunt it out & do some more in it. Especially when I need to be inside & out of the heat. Wishing you a great week Maxine - your mojo will return soon I am sure. xx

Hi Maxine, a beautiful pair of coloured cards, I'm still a bit scared of the alcohol ink pens, I much prefer colouring pencils too. Have a wonderful week, we'll be sending you some extra heat early next week, expecting 40C over the weekend... Megan

Look like you had a good time coloring! They look good! Hugs, Gerrina

Lovely. You certainly have mastered the art of colouring with your pencils and these two show this. I always think that to sit and colour something is a lovely way of relaxing and recharging your mojo.
Blessings, Neet xx
