Zen Feather Girl Colouring In Printout ~ Crafty Crusaders

Have you seen that you can get colouring books for adults now, it is a great way to relax and unwind.

I thought I would have a go of drawing a colouring in page for you. This is so much fun.

I first drew an outline of my girl and design in pencil and then went over the lines with the Black Mepxy marker and a fine black sharpie pen. Then rub out the pencil lines.

I have done it already for you here if you would like to print out this Zen Feather Girl and colour one in for your self. This is a great way of practicing shading on faces with different mediums.

You can download your Printout HERE

I have used Pebeo Studio Aquarelle watercolour paints to colour her in and added a few more details like the eyelashes with a pencil.

If you are printing the printout on an inkjet printer and you are using watercolours you have to be careful of the ink running. The image below was printed on watercolour paper on an inkjet printer.

I hope you enjoy getting back to your childhood and having some colouring in fun!

I know I did!

Have an awesome day 🙂

Easter Card and Challenge ~ Mepxy Markers & Canson for Crafty Crusaders

Happy Easter to one and all! 🙂

Are you looking for something for the kids to do this Easter?

What
better way to keep them busy than to set them a challenge to design and
colour their own eggs and make a card. Heck this is even fun for the
adults to do too.

These are super easy to create and so much fun, you can really let the imagination go wild!

I have included a blank egg template that you can print out and create your own designs

as well as the printout I have designed for you and you can also download the coloured version too.

Step 1: To create this fun card and to create your own egg designs all you need to do is draw some egg shapes or download the black egg template PDF and draw some patterns on them with a black pen.

Download the Blank Egg Template PDF- HERE

Download the Printed Design Template PDF – HERE

Step 2 – Once you have drawn or printed the designs then you can colour them in. I have used the Mepxy Basic Design Markers and the Pastel Brush Markers to colour in these eggs.
The colours I have used on each egg has the codes beside the coloured eggs.

Step 3 – I have used a white gel pen to add a little more detail to some of the designs.

Download the Coloured PDF – HERE

Step 4 – Now to Create the Card. Cut a piece of the Canson Coloured Card (A4 White 185gsm)

to 7″x8″ and then from one end score 2 lines 1″ and then 2″ and score a line 5″ from same end.

Download the Card template PDF – HERE

Step 5 – An easy way to score a straight line is to use the groove in your paper trimmer and a stylus or a retracted pen to run along the groove. Super easy Scored straight line.

Step 6 – Fold the card along the 3 scored lines.

Step 7 – Add the cut out eggs to the front of the first folded peak and also to the back fold. Making sure that the back eggs go up to the top of the card.

Step 8 – Cut around the bottom and top of the eggs. Making sure some of the top stays attached to the back fold at the top of the eggs.

Then you have a fabulous 3D card that stands up and gives the eggs a 3D look.

Now it is your Turn!!!!
We would love to see your fabulous egg creations!!Make sure you share them with us over at the
Crafty Crusaders Facebook Page!
