I like the bird page – I am very much into images from nature, and I could see myself doing all sorts of things with that picture.

I love that it offers tips on how to color/shade the pages!

This particular image reminds me of my 3 sisters. I love them very much. Beautiful images, I cannot wait to see more.
Thank you for the opportunity to win!
Always looking for opportunities to learn new tricks…I have been loving coloring books since I was a tot!

I love the last one best but they are all very different and I thinks that is why I like them. Most of the adult coloring books I have seen follow just one theme. I also did like the suggestions for completing them.

This reminds me of dancing in the grass in the summer! Love the design!
I pinned the primary pictures because I make dolls, and love seeing faces in people’s works, including journals. And, who doesn’t like to see a cute little package tied up in ribbon?
I love this idea, I am new to art journaling and computers, so the inspiration that I get is wonderful.
https://www.pinterest.com/ewert0479/coloring/
I pinned the bird and teacups. I love whimsical things and images and liked this one most of all!
I love the Chickadee Journaling Page, the splash of color is so pretty. I pinned it here, https://www.pinterest.com/pin/63331938487692155/
https://www.pinterest.com/scrappydiva1/creative-inspirations/
I see great potential for incorporating these images into my art journaling pages. They can be colored, cut out, etc. for use in all sorts of altered art. Love the various subjects used in creating these “adult coloring books”.
I’ve already ordered several of the Color Studio books as holiday gifts. Love that includes tutorials and techniques! Now all I need is a set for myself. :)
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/494973815274821050/
Karen Lilly’s Mrs. Poe and the Black Cat is so cute. (Her expression is how I feel after finishing a favorite book!) The only set of colored pencils I have is about 50 years old–time for new ones?
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/494973815274821109/
LOL, I think you mean to pin the coloring book pages, not the images right above the response area. Hmmm. Time for my morning coffee now that it’s after noon :) Then color some chickadees!
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/255438610092899547/
I love the idea of incorporating a coloring page into a journal page.
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/286611963764009581/
I love the combination face and Zentangle-like work on the left half of her face, plus the shading guide is very helpful.
I really liked the page where the women are dancing. It makes me think of warm, breezy, carefree days. Right about where I’d like to be!
https://www.pinterest.com/craftinjag/art-how-tos/
I love this page because it shows a use for the original picture that is so different from the original art piece. I can hardly wait to see the publication and start coloring!
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/124834220898890638/
So EXCITED Somerset is now publishing a Coloring Book! I pined this picture, because I can’t wait to get tips from the experts and it will be a great page to color. Thanks!
Yes, please!

Always looking for helpful tips and tricks.
I pinned 3 images. I think the bird and cups picture is something anyone could use in a variety of ways, The woman is just beautiful and the group of people I can see being colored in bright oranges and browns for a tribal feel or in a rainbow of pastels for a softer look. I like to still color pictures even though I am an adult. It is something that is fun to do with my 4 year old son and I definitely think the fact that there are suggestions on improving the coloring techniques is something that appeals to me a great deal. I’m no artist, just an mom who likes making things and being able to say I made that so I need all the help I can get. :) Crafting and making art is a big part of our fun time we spend together and I this looks like something I could really get into.
Can’t wait to get my hands on the gorgeous graphics. I really like that pictures of the human face is included! http://pinterest.com/pin/510806782715084242/?s=3&m=email
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/Aw-ZlwAQADEHS-gLlqwAAAA/
I love this project because although it appears to be pretty simple, the possibilities are endless with various color options.
Birds and teacups – 2 of my favorite things! The original colored journal page offers additional inspiration, but the coloring page in itself would make me very happy! I think I could do interesting things with it.
I don’t pinterest, but I really like the girl’s face page. Sort of steampunky/botanical, very cool. So excited to see this new publication! I can even see copying that page to color several ways, although only the original would be on nice paper.
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/194428908890591406/
Very happy to see some info on coloring & shading, this would be quite helpful. Thanks for the opportunity to win!

I like the one of the bird and teacups that Mou Saha has used to make a journal page. I love Mou’s work and think it’s great that she found a further use for the coloured page.
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/7036943145699269/ is link to pin. The bird and cups just make me smile.
Lovely bundle – shared on pinterest – https://www.pinterest.com/pin/468444798720306150/
love the birds/cups and the delicate colors – ust yummy.
Finally! A coloring book catering to my personal taste in design! I love coloring books but it is VERY hard to find one with anything I would enjoy coloring. Thank you Stampington and Co.!
This is exciting! I hope my local B&N carries the coloring book. I would love to get the prima watercolor pencils too. The giveaway bundle is awesome. I love it all and want it all too.

I pinned the girl coloring page at the above address. I like her because I struggle making faces and she will turn out just perfect. Thank you.

I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how to get the URL. I did pin almost all there was to pin? Uuggh:-)
I pinned all the images, but my favorite is the girl with the elaborate headdress. I have loved to color since I was a very young child and I would love to have these art supplies.
I, also, like Christina Webber, am not able to transfer the URSL to my comment. I copied and pasted but didn’t get the whole thing to print. https://www.pinterest.com/mmieyesweets/art-etc/
I tried again; could this be it?

I am a bird watcher who loves going to high tea with family so a perfect choice. Also liked the side by side with coloring ideas. Giving coloring books to adult granddaughters for Christmas. Like a no-theme line, hope you do more.
http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/1200x/d5/8b/29/d58b29ccd1f5b495e2b463ab6586661a.jpg
My motto is dance like no one is watching, so the dancing ladies are fun would color them like rules don’t matter.
This coloring book would be perfect to take on a long plane ride. I can’t wait to get started.
I pinned the shading photo. Just LOVE that you have included instructions for shading to take my pictures to the next level!
Seriously challenged because I could not get the PinIt link to work. Please, if you want us to play along at least make things work. I might go color now to de stress from this.

Since retired from the military ,I have enjoyed coloring it helps with my ability to gain control of my left hand. I have a limited use of my left hand and find coloring very therapeutic.
I’m so glad you’ve found healing with coloring. I wish you all the best and thank you for your service.
Love and have ordered two sets of the coloring book and love the mixed media piece I pinned on Pinterest.

I love coloring and Staedtler supplies would be so wonderful.
I love to color but haven’t moved beyond my coloring days as a kid – long ago. I love this image and think the shading idea would help me go beyond the basics. Love this!
Wow I just love how beautiful this is! And the detail work. I love the shading idea too, I’ve always wanted to learn how to do that! here is the link to my pin: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/140104238385470122/

Winning this giveaway would be just the thing I need to escape from the holiday hustle and bustle. I love Zentangling and Zendoodling. They really are relaxing and fun.
I love Zendoodling too! I have never been very good at doodling, so I love that Zendoodling has some structure and repetition to it.

Love coloring, journaling and collage, so this combines it all.
I loved this page because it reminded me of having tea at a bird sanctuary when I was backpacking in India and tiny sapphire-colored bird would land on my little table and eat the grains of raw sugar. Tea always conjures up warmth and memory too…
I am so happy the Coloring Studio offers drawing and other artistic techniques as well as providing images to color, even though I may only use one or two per painting.

The designs in your new Coloring Studio are so gorgeous – I can’t wait to turn them into my own personalized artwork. I love coloring with water color pencils, chalks, etc. It’s very satisfying to fill a plain white canvas into something beautiful.
I just love how artfully Mou colored this picture! https://www.pinterest.com/pin/22236591888423937/
