He Loves Me, He Loves Me Knot Valentine Adult coloring page

I thought I'd make an adult coloring page for Valentine's Day. I am always a fan of the human heart image so I thought I'd start with that and then another thing I like to do is use the word "knot" instead of "not" so I did the quote, "He loves me, he loves me knot".

I used Tombow recycled colored pencils this time as I was working on an image that had shaded areas.

"It Depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is" Quote Adult Coloring Page

Since you can't really turn on the news without hearing something about the election and politicians I thought it would be fun to do a TBT political quote adult coloring page brought to you by former president Bill Clinton, "It Depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is". It makes me laugh every time I read it :)

I started out with my stash of markers and then the amazing new
Chameleon Markers arrived and well I just had to start playing instantly.

They are like nothing I have ever worked with. They blend from light to dark with a special cap filled with solvent. I can't wait to get really good with them. I feel like it's like learning to paint with a brush using water colors in reverse.

"I Love You Dad" Card adult coloring page

I thought I'd share with you the card I made for my Dad. Since I love making adult coloring pages I thought I would make a coloring page Father's Day Card.

I laid the page out so you could print it on cardstock and then just fold it in half like a card. I ended up cutting the focal part out and gluing it down to a piece of blue scrapbook paper.

Freedom Isn't Free Flag Adult coloring page

With 4th of July just around the corner I am decorating all in the red, white and blue. I thought I'd extend this theme to my adult coloring pages with this "Freedom Isn't Free" quote adult coloring page in the shape of an American flag.

I used a wide variety of fonts. I know the stars are supposed to be white on a blue field but I thought I'd take a bit of artistic license and color them in in a variety of shades of blue on an angle.

Adult coloring page with quote: "We are all searching for someone whose demons play well with ours"

Over at Craftside there is the page from the book 20 Ways to Draw a Cat that features 20 ways to Draw a hedgehog. I used one of the hedgehogs as my guide to draw one as an outline so that I could include it in the adult coloring page that features the quote, "We are all searching for someone whose demons play well with ours."

I had a lot of fun coloring in all the tiny little hearts that form the letters. I did a bunch of different color combos, stripes, random and all the same color family. I colored in the hedgehogs in different color ways as well.

NOTE: I am playing around with file types and settings. Please leave me a comment if you find anything odd about the file when you download it, open it and print it out.  I noticed that my first few had a slight gray haze on them.
