23 Cute and Whimsical Enchanted Garden Designs printed on one side of page

The Magical Garden Coloring Book

Rating: 5 of 5

The Magical Garden has 23 adorable designs of animals, flowers, and other plants in a sweet garden setting. There are bunnies, bees, fairies, flowers, owls, birds, and much more in the coloring book. The designs are open and fun to color. Though there are a few spots of smaller elements, it is a fairly easy book to color and one you won’t need special pens, etc. to reach into tiny spots

I will go into more detail below, but here is an overview of the book:

23 magical garden designs printed on one side of the page
pages are non-perforated
design print is clear with no smudging
glue bound
designs stop well before the binding
all markers bleed through paper
gel pens and India ink pens leave shadows on back of page
coloring pencils work well

The designs in the book are printed on one side only of thin, white, non-perforated paper. The designs all stop before the binding though some leave elements unfinished.

The binding is glued rather than sewn, so you will have to cut pages out to remove them from the book. In a few cases, you will loss parts of the design if you remove the page. I was able to easily get the book to lay flat by pressing down once I opened it.

I test all of my coloring books with a wide variety of coloring mediums. You can find the full list I used to test this book in the comments section below. Here are the results of my tests:

All markers, whether water or alcohol-based, bled through the paper. All of my gel pens and my Pitt India Ink pens left distinct shadows of color on the backside of the page. My coloring pencils worked well and true to type and brand. I was able to easily blend my soft lead pencils. My hard lead worked well but left indents that showed on the backside of the page.

I will be using a variety of medium in coloring in this book. Because of that, I will place a blotter sheet below the page I am working on. That will keep the page below ink and dent free. I used Tombow water-based brush end markers on my first project to give it a water-color type effect.
