The Coloring Collection from Chic + Nawdie

Raise your hand if you’re still firmly seated on the coloring love train! *raises both hands and waves them in the air* Coloring has never, ever been and will never, ever be out of style for me, and I am lovin’ all of the cool, color-in goodies that are coming out now that the over eight crowd has remembered how totally awesome coloring is.

The new Coloring Collection from Chic + Nawdie made its debut at the Stationery Show last month, and it features fun and fantastic coloring designs in both 8″ x 10″ art print and greeting card formats. You’ll find fish, gems, kitty cats, and butterflies among the patterns, which are just waiting for you to color them in and bring them to life.

Head over to Chic + Nawdie to see all of the available coloring cards and prints!
