Default stamp recommendations

Keeping in mind I only buy stamps from SU, SNSS, and those I can buy at Michaels or ACMoore, can anyone recommend stamps from those places that are good for coloring? I use watercolors, prismas, water based markers, and alcohol markers. I just get tired of coloring the same thing all the time. I color the truck in Countryside, From the Herd, Blended Bloom, Blessed Easter, and Two by Two. I have lots of sets but not many that have images good for coloring. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Lawn Fawn has some really cute stamps that are great for coloring! They are available online through Joann.com, I don't know if you shop online. Their dies are also on there and they were on sale yesterday!

Penny Black and Hero Arts both have lots of great images to color.

Michaels carries Hero. Joanns has stores too-you might try googling to see if one is near you. And there's Hobby Lobby stores.

Yes-please let us know if you can shop online because then there are tons of them-you are online to talk to us, but that isnt the same. And what do you like? Do you like people, animals, flowers--?

Till you get more: Drawing squares, circles, etc linked in flowing lines can make for a clean and simple-and geometrics are hot right now. Tones of one color like blues or rainbow with a sentiment. I think this is pretty:
Happy Birthday, Sandie by Ardyth - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
I dont know that that was hand drawn but it's the idea.

You can make rainbows with compass-or different sized circles. Then you could watercolor the circles in two tones or spotty like this one

In the new SU catalog, I think one of the categories/headers says something about coloring, so take a look for that.

I don't shop online, thus my limited choices. My LSS does sell some Penny Black. As far as my type, I'm willing to step out there. I just want to color.
I have Michaels, acmoore, and Joanne within reasonable traveling distance. Occasionally make a trip to Hobby Lobby but that's an hour or longer away.

Pam, did you read that my friend bought me a MISTI? So cool.

Here are some pictures I colored. In the first picture, the top two are Sweet N Sassy Stamps.. The bottom is SU. All watercolored using SU ink pads and an aqua brush. The second picture has stamps from SNSS also but I used blendabilities.

My local Michaels stores carry Hero Arts and Inkadinkado, among other brands. Online ordering is possible, if you choose.

I've also seen a few by Inky Antics or Art Impressions (forget which).

You don't have to answer this question if you don't want to... but where do you get the SNSS if not online?

Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll, if that's what you need to be able to shop online, Frantic Stamper will take a check.

And they've got Penny Black, MFT, Stampendous, Heartfelt Creations.... all sorts of great stuff to color!

Oh Kathy, I hope you have a very flexible chequebook ;-). To minimise shipping costs I like one-stop shops, and Frantic Stamper is very close to being that for me. Stampendous have some great stamps for colouring, and Northwoods, Impression Obsession...

I don't know if you have seen the SU Corner Garden background stamp, but it's great for coloring!

Remarkable You (pg. 112) and You've Got This (pg. 113) are also some new SU stamps that will be available in the 2015-2016 catalog as of June 2nd.


From Land to Sea (pg. 83) if you like sea animal/icon images
The Wilderness Awaits (pg. 86) if you like wildlife type images

My aqua brush was a little too wet on this first attempt.

I started with the bunny on the right and didn't realize how dark the ink on the brush was. I never could get it to even out, even with more water.

Someone on one of the PIF threads mentioned those darn Zig markers, and put a link to Jennifer McGuire's two videos on them yesterday. Guess what I had to order once I'd seen them! WHEN will I learn not to look at links like that?! lol

I'm hoping to find them at Michaels or ACMoore! I watched Jennifer's videos before the link was posted so I only have myself to blame! LOL
