  Reverse coloring page of flowers and leaves. There's a new trend in coloring. Reverse coloring. The beginning of the trend seems to be The Reverse Coloring book by Kendra Norton  (affiliate link).  The coloring pages of a reverse coloring book are usually more or less abstract watercolor paintings. So the coloring page already has the colors and you draw the lines. If you want to color on the go, you could only bring the coloring book and one pen for drawing the lines. But you could also use a variety of supplies. Different sizes of pens and markers for varying line thicknesses. Different colors of supplies. Paint markers. Metallic markers.  Reverse coloring page of a cloudy sunset sky. I tried making my own reverse coloring pages with watercolor on watercolor paper. One of them is a cloudy sunset sky above the sea. The other is of houseplant leaves and flowers. I scanned both of the pages before filling them in myself, so you could have a chance to reverse color t...

I made a coloring calendar for 2017! Ethnic portraits, fashion and jewellery with patterns and flowers in the background for adults and children to color. The images are the same as in the coloring books/pages already sold in my shop, but they're cropped and I added a few tribal and floral backgrounds. The name of the month is outlined and can be colored in, too. The calendar is an instant download printable so it would work well as a last minute Christmas present. You can check it out in my Etsy shop .

I was looking for DIY Christmas card ideas and came across Christmas coloring cards: coloring pages in postcard size that you can print out, color and use as Christmas cards. I thought it was such a good idea, I had to make some of my own, too. I'll show you how I made these instant download Christmas coloring cards for my Etsy shop. There are 20 designs for you to print, cut and color to make your own Christmas cards . The pictures vary from Christmas clothes to patterns, candy, animals, crafting supplies, decorations, candles and houses to a Christmas tree, a snowman and a girl in winter clothes. 

I have a box full of handmade envelopes I've made of old magazine pages, but I thought it would be fun to actually draw an envelope design. And since it's a black and white line art of tribal patterns, it doubles as a coloring page for kids and grown-ups. Both freebies are available for download and print here . Just cut, fold and glue together the envelope and it's ready to use for sending snail mail. Or you can color it in first just like the coloring page.

I made my first printable coloring book in July with ethnic themes (African and Indian Portraits and Patterns) . This time I wanted to make one of Matryoshka dolls, which I love drawing. There's 5 designs and they're all ones I had originally drawn a few years ago, but I fixed them up and added more details. The originals are A4 size ink and marker drawings which I scanned and edited in GIMP (turned black and white, added contrast, erased mistakes), put into a word file and saved as a PDF. And tested that they print correctly. Scroll down to see parts of the process on video and a very basic tutorial on how to color digitally in GIMP. I'm selling the coloring pages in my Etsy shop . I also have a free sample coloring page for you , wh ich you can download by cli cking yellow t he button below .
