Elegant and Inspirational coloring with focus on Mom printed on one side of heavyweight perforated paper
Inspirational Coloring for Mom: Hardcover Christian Coloring Book for Mothers
By: Christian Art Publishers
Rating: 5 of 5
This publisher has recently released a number of coloring books in this line. This particular book has a focus on the Bible and Mothers. The 50 designs are all elegant and include either a Bible verse or a uplifting saying. In addition to page after page of designs, there are also tags, bookmarks, and cards that can be colored and cut out to use or give away. The Scripture quotations are taken from a variety of sources, including: the Holy Bible, New International Version NIV; the Holy Bible, New Living Translation; the New King James Version; the Message; the Holy Bible, English Standard Version; and the Holy Bible, Contemporary English Version.
The uplifting message and/or Scripture is incorporated into the designs so that you can dwell on the words as you are coloring. I find that I am turning to the page that I need to think about which makes this a book I will reach for often. While my mother has passed, I will be happy to give this to the other Moms in my family and friends.
The book is really well made. The designs are printed on one side only of heavyweight perforated paper. The binding is at the top and is spiral bound. I really appreciate this binding as you can flip to any page and have access to the entire design. The cover is made of heavy hardboard. When I flip the book to the page I am working on, the cover becomes a working surface that I can take with me on the go.
A few of the designs extend beyond the perforations. I won’t remove these from the book as I will lose a bit of the design if I do. This could be easily solved in future additions to this series by sizing the design to fit below the perforations.
All of my alcohol-based markers bled through this paper. However, none of my water-based ones did. My various gel pens worked well and did not bleed through or leave shadows at the back. Coloring pencils worked nicely as well and behaved according to their type of lead (soft/hard core.) You can put a piece of card stock, chipboard, or even a file folder below the page you are working on to keep ink from ruining the rest of the book. I will put a list of the coloring medium that I used for testing this book in the comments section below.
