And just like that 2023 has come to an end! It's been a pretty incredible year, finding my groove with colouring, getting to share and see so many amazing colouring pages coming out of our little doodle community.
I'm grateful that you've come along on this journey. Whether you colour to learn a new skill or colour to carve out a little headspace of calmness, thank you for helping to make this year a truly great one!
A few weeks ago I pick up some 250gsm Bristol Board by 'Seawhite Of Brighton', from Hobbycraft (a UK craft store), so I've printed on this and used it with the Ohuhu alcohol markers to see how it performs. I don't think it's as good as the Winsor & Newton Bristol Board but it's definitely worthy of printing and using again.

As always, this little printable is designed for personal use only. Print it, colour it, share it on socials, plaster your living room with it if it makes you happy, but we’ll draw the line at using it for monetising gains.
Have a great doodle day, create something colourful!
Love always,
