Colour is amazing - it can even change your mood - it can make us happy, make us anxious, make us calm - and colouring is a well known practice of mindfulness.

Using the wonderful Creative stamps and die sets, we'll create spectacular cards by colouring up a storm, whether it's one colour, two or a whole box full!  We'll be using the beautiful Prismacolor premium colouring pencils and tombow pens.

And we'll teach you how to colour on BLACK card - often called Black Magic Colouring!
