This is a lovely set of 16 postcards for coloring. The designs feature the artwork of Andie Hanna. I so enjoyed Ms Hanna’s coloring book (which this set is based on), that when I saw the postcards were available, I purchased them on a pre-order. There are birds, flowers, and butterflies as well as paisleys and other pattern designs as well.

The set is 2 each of eight designs. The postcards are loose leaf and come in a folding book-style holder that has a gorgeous cover. It as well as each of the postcards, are accented with shiny gold foil. It makes for a much more elegant postcard than those I usually color. The designs are detailed and they have small and intricate details. I suggest only the smallest of marker or pen nibs or very sharp pencils.

I started my first project thinking that I would use a number of colors but, in the end, I ended up finishing the design in one color only. I just loved the elegant look of purple, gold and white.

This is what I discovered when I colored and tested my coloring medium on these postcards:

8 x 2 each gold accented postcards for coloring based on artwork by Andie Hanna

Printed on heavyweight card stock

Cardstock is white, smooth, and is pre-printed for use as postcard on the back

Alcohol and water based markers, gel pens, and India Ink pens did not bleed through this card stock

Colored pencils work well with good color with both oil and wax based pencils. The design elements are so small, I could not do a good check of layering and blending, so I can’t verify if they work well or not.
