Morgue Drawer: Clink or Cooler? (Morgue Drawer series)

I’ve recently started enjoying adult coloring books as a way to relieve stress and some of my favorite books are “Enchanted Forest” and “Secret Garden” by Johanna Basford. When I saw that “Enchanted Forest” was going to be available in postcards, I pre-ordered them immediately.

The images are much smaller and are a little more difficult to work with (at my age.) I plan to use my Dazor magnifying lamp to do the detail work and will probably use my Copic or Spectrum Noir Next Generation alcohol-based markers to get the type of detail I think I will want with these postcards.
