Coloring books for inspiration

Sometimes it is a mystery where you get inspiration from but trying to force it hardly ever works. However, taking a break from making greeting cards and relaxing can be a great boost to your creative energy. Doing something else creative can be a big help and for me that is sometimes completing a coloring book like the one below.

Why not give it a go, not only will the down time give your greeting card making batteries a chance to recharge, you may also gain inspiration from the images or even the color selection that you use in the book.
