Zendoodle Coloring: Love Notes: 20 Cards to Color and Give to the One You Love

This is a cute set of postcards which deal mostly with romantic love. There are a few which may apply to other individuals but it is generally something you would color and give to your sweetheart. The back of each page is pre-set for use as a postcard. The card has a spot for a stamp and is equally divided for a written message and an address.

The designs are detailed and a few have smaller areas to color which might require the use of ultra-fine pens/markers or really sharp pencils. Crayons might be difficult to use unless you are able to sharpen them to a fairly fine point.

The binding is a notepad style where it is easy to remove pages by carefully pulling them away. They will remove in whole without any loss of designs. The paper is a lightweight card stock rather than a heavy weight postcard stock. It is white and fairly smooth to the touch.

Alcohol-based markers were the only coloring medium which bled through the page. Water-based markers, gel pens, and India ink pens did not bleed through or leave shadows on the back of the page. I used a blotter page of card stock when using my Sharpies, Bic Mark-its and Copics to keep seeping ink from ruining the design below.

Colored Pencils worked okay with this paper. I got good pigment and layered colors easily. Blending was a little smeary with both oil and wax based pencils (probably due to the smooth paper.)

Here are some sample designs from the book:
