I spent a little time stamping out pretty images for some relaxing detail coloring. I like to make a big batch of images that I can color – just like a coloring book.

I hope my friends enjoyed their little gift and can use…

Then he drilled 1/8 holes at the top for twine to hang up and brighten a little space. I painted the fronts with black acrylic paint and wrote…
