Princess Bubbles Creates

This week the quote was "Live like a grownup, play like a child."  Love it!  I am definitely a child at heart.  I wrote I don't want to adult today, I just want to play.  Definitely how I feel most days but I am responsible enough to do the adult thing most days. It has been a while since I posted a coloring page.  It seems appropriate to do so today.  Please feel free to print and color this mandala.

I started off coloring this design with colored pencils as I often do.  And just as often I find myself changing to markers to finish the coloring.  It is odd to me that it has taken me so long to figure out that I don't really like pencil crayons for coloring!  I still like to use them for adding shading though.  Mind you I did use pastel pencils to add the shading on this one.

This is one of my more simple designs.  I decided to really explore different media with this one.  I started with fluorescent highlighters then added chalk pastels for highlight and shadow.  I also used pencil crayons, metallic markers and gel pens.  Please show me what you do with it!

Another week, another coloring page.  I used permanent markers, including gold and silver, and pencil crayons.  The silver Sharpie shows up rather nicely.  I love the shading/blending you can get with pencil crayons but they certainly take more work than the markers.  Using both is a good compromise.  I would love to see how you color this image!

Please enjoy!  I colored mine with brush markers and Sharpies on photo paper.  Happy New Year!

Please enjoy this free snowflake design, color it or do as you wish.  I used Sharpies, metallic markers and a gel pen to color mine.  Merry Christmas!

I had fun coloring this, as I usually do.  I used a number of different things to color it: a glitter gel pen, metallic silver Sharpie, Crayola markers, and Prismacolor pencil crayons.  You are welcome to print and color this image.  Enjoy!

I really like this design.  I think I could have done a better job coloring it.  I am not thrilled with the gold that I added around the edge.  The light pink seems a little off as well.  I may try it again with different colors.  Please feel to print and color.  I would love to see what you do with it.

Here is my coloring page for the week.  I was going for a snowflake with this one.  I used a silver Sharpie marker and managed to capture the shine!  Not easy to do.  Have fun coloring this design!

I used my Prismacolor pencil crayons and few markers to color this image.  I tried to focus on blending and think I did alright.  Please feel free to print this image and color it.

So glad we haven't had any snow yet.  I had a lot fun coloring this snowflake design.  I used Inktense pencils and some metallic ink to add details.  Please feel free to print and color this design.

A  simple design this week.  Sometimes it is nice to have something a little bit easy to do. I used watercolor pencils and Smooch Ink.  I love the shimmer of Smooch Ink.  As always, please freely enjoy coloring this!

Click on the top image to print it.  The image below is my coloring of that mandala.  I used Sharpie markers and Smooch inks.  Smooch inks have amazing glimmer but I did not capture it very well.  Possibly you can see it in the center gold part. Jo has posted her lovely coloring  of my mandalas at  http://stitchability.blogspot.ca/2015/11/this-and-that.html   Check it out.

This mandala I decided to paint with Twinkling H2Os watercolor paint by Luminarte.  I wanted to participate in their fall color challenge.  If you look closely you can see the beautiful shimmer the paints have.  You can also see all my goofs if you look closely!  Oh well. As per usual, please feel free to print the mandala I designed.  It would be really cool to see how you color it!

I am having a lot of fun coloring my own designs!  It is very satisfying to me.  I hope you like these designs that I post and spend some time coloring them. It is so relaxing. I am not sure the rosie pink color was the right choice.  It was originally much darker so I used a white pencil crayon to tame it a bit.  Oh well, not the end of the world.

This time I printed my design larger.  I lost some of the design but I don't really mind that.  I had a lot of fun coloring with permanent markers and Caran D'ache watercolor crayons.  I am glad to share this design with you and hope that you enjoy coloring it.

Enjoy the free coloring page I created.  It is my pleasure to share them with you.  I quite enjoy creating them and coloring them.  As always, I would love to see what you do with them.  Lately, my mind has been swirling with ideas of taking them further.

Here is another coloring page for you to print.  I would love to see what you do with it!  I printed mine on vellum and used Sharpies to color it.

I hope you enjoy coloring these as much as I do.  It is a very meditative process.  This one I printed onto photo paper and colored with Sharpie markers.  They look very vibrant on the photo paper.

Click on the top image and print it out, color it and then show me what you have done!  I really would love to see how you color this!  I used water media to color mine this week.  I went with the colors of fall. My coloring from the first week I attached to an art journal page.  The colors match way better in real life.  I like covering over the writing I do in my journals.  I don't have deep, dark secrets to hide, I am really quite shallow!  I like the writing to add visual interest and it isn't there for anyone to read.
