46 Inspiring Scripture Designs with cites printed one side of the page

By: Compiled by Barbour Staff

Rating: 5 of 5

This is a coloring book of 46 different Scripture designs by a team of designers (Elisa Paganelli, Carol Robinson and Nicky Storr) which focuses on Biblical blessings. The translation used for this coloring book is the King James Version of the Holy Bible and includes quotes from both Old and New Testament. The Scriptures focus on the promises of God.

Each of the pages has the Scripture and cite emphasized with the design surrounding it. The book is printed 8 x 10 inches with perforated pages so it should be easy to remove pages for framing should you wish to do so.

With a number of challenges in my life recently, both physical and emotional, and I have found myself turning to my Christian-based coloring books for both the words I need to read and think about as well as a way to let my brain step away from the issues that confront me. This is a great book for that purpose and each and every design has a word of truth to speak that is intended to build up a Christian’s place of faith.

While most of the designs are fairly easy to color, some of the fonts used for the words include some fairly tiny spots. I will end up leaving most of those white rather than to try to fill them in with tiny nib pens.

This is what I found as I colored in this book and testing the paper with my various coloring medium. In the comments section below, I will include a list of the coloring medium I use for testing and which I generally use for my coloring projects.

46 Scripture based designs with pretty coloring elements

Printed on one side of the page

Paper is medium weight, white, slightly smooth and perforated.

Glue Binding

A few designs cross over the perforations but nothing essential to the design will be lost if you remove a page from the book.

Alcohol-based markers bleed through on this paper

Water-based markers and India ink pens bleed through in spots with the exception of brush end Tombows which did not bleed through at all.

Gel pens left shadows of color on the back of the page.

Colored pencils work very well with this paper. I tested both oil and wax-based pencils and had good results with both. I was able to layer the same color to a deep pigment, layer multiple colors, and blend easily using a pencil style blending stick.

I used a blotter page below my working page to keep ink from seeping into the the page(s). I use card stock or several sheets of heavy weight paper for this purpose. You can also remove pages from the book before coloring to keep the rest of the book in good shape.
