Mardi Gras Design in the Round

Each spring as Mardi Gras season rolls on, and the ultimate party day (Fat Tuesday) gets nearer I start thinking about new ideas for greeting cards and paper crafts.

 This year I've made a new digital design that incorporates  traditional symbols  of the biggest bash held every year in New Orleans' French quarter.

This new mandala line art design  features jester's pattern jewel diamonds, king crowns, word art and  traditional fleur de lis motifs with one smack in the center.

Put on some music and relax while adding color to this Mardi Gras mandala design. Although the choice of  hues is up to you, keep in mind the traditional colors of the season: purple, green, gold.

Let the good times roll!

Challenging Tangled Hearts Coloring Page

Tangled Hearts Mandala Coloring Page

Here's a real challenge to your coloring skills - a drawing of many tangled hearts that form a mandala pattern. The complicated heart design is formed from a basic motif of 3 interlocking joined hearts that's repeated around the circle in various sizes. The overlapping hearts are like romance - complicated, intertwined and connected to others.

Tangled Hearts Coloring Page is the newest romantic line art design added to the Clip Art 'n Crafts collection of coloring pages for adults and teens who like complex line art to color or for designers as inspiration for other crafts.

Details and a central focal point are the keys to what I like in a great mandala coloring page -  this printable mandala design has both.

I'd color this mandala with markers or colored pencils to really make the most of the details and complex line work.
