Colouring Book Practice!

Hello to all!  Sharing a little colouring book practice with you all today!  

 It was miserable yesterday, cold, wet, with at one point huge hailstones.  

I stayed warm and cosy in my craft room and coloured this amazing image from Coloriage Wild.

This colouring pad from Emmanuelle Collin is full of delicious images and I am enjoying working my way through these! 

The image is coloured with Faber Castelle Polychromos pencils.

I will be entering this in The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge.   

We are now on Day 29, tomorow will be the final day.  

 I have not managed to submit a colouring every day, but most days. 

You can see these on my Instagram account.   

Its been loads of fun and I can't wait for the next one! Thank you to Kathy of The Daily Marker for running the event!

Happy crafting fun to all!
