Having company over for your Fourth of July celebration? Needing a little hands-on project for the kiddos… or maybe even for the grown-up girls? Here’s a little Stars and Stripes Coloring Page that will hopefully be a added blessing to your family and friends get together!
Download your FREE Coloring Page here.
This was a fun design to color but I must admit… I had to think it through because of using such a limited color selection.
The colors I chose were both Prismacolor Premiers and a few Faber-Castel Polychromos … I love the quality and richness of their colors!
Red… PC923 Scarlet Lake
Browns… PC944 Terra Cotta (for shading the red and in her hair) and PC945 Sienna Brown
Yellows… FC9201-108 Dark Cadmium and PC1034 Goldenrod
Flesh… PC997 Beige
Blues… FC9201-149 Bluish Turquoise and FC9201-246 Prussian Blue
But seriously… the color palette is simple so play with whatever you have handy… including crayons… or print it on watercolor paper and play with paints! Just have fun!!
I would love to see photos of your Stars and Stripes coloring… either your finished piece or a photo of the kids or girls around the table coloring… so please take a pic and tag it with #starsandstripescoloring and @karladornacher so I can check out your coloring fun!
Ahhh… and modern technology… it can be such a challenge and yet so much fun! Sometimes I think I’m too old to jump into another new high tech adventure but.. here it is… my very first attempt at sharing a video… what do you think? I made it to inspire you and make you smile… and I would love your feedback… do it again or not? Color pencil? Bible Journaling? Hand-Lettering? Drawing?
Happy Fourth of July my friends!
Celebrate… Give Thanks… and Party on!! xoxo

Such a fun collection Karla! I love to set Bible Scripture out around my home that reflect the current holiday and the verse, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free” is just perfect for celebrating our the 4th of July and like you said, more importantly, the freedom we have because of Jesus!
Enjoy your 4th of July celebration with your family!

Hi Karla!
Thank you so much for such a beautiful drawing to color; I especially love the Stars & Stripes theme for the holidays. Today’s my birthday…and you didn’t even know you were giving me such a special gift! But you did! Thank you!
I especially love your Bible journaling, too. Thanks for continuing to blog.
Mountain Musings says
Sorry, that’s supposed to be from Deb.
Susan says
Hi Karla, Been a busy 5 days with family and friends and I missed your sale. So I will be back.
My son is getting married one month from today. I know you just experienced that joyful time.
Marla says
This printable is a beautiful reminder in our home of Who is truly in control. And it serves as a visual reminder to pray for our nation’s leaders – no matter the circumstances, or the leaders. II Chronicles 7:14. Thank you, Karla, for ‘standing in the gap’ even when you may not be aware of it. God’s anointing be upon you as you share His gifts!:)

Beeautiful but it won’t download for me – could be due to my being “technically handicapped”. ☺
Karla Dornacher says
Hi Geri… I think I might have fixed it so please do try again… hopefully it will work for you! 🙂
Jeannine Johnson says
I need to download this for my boys!! A great printable as we study the American revolution and the creation of our country. Thank you!!
MaryN says

I have a collection of the new-fangled coloring books for…..uh…… big kids… =) and I just wish that the pictures weren’t sooooo detailed. I do better with solid black lines that are easy to not color outside of. LOL !!! Your illustrations are always so much fun …… =D
Heather says
I really enjoy your free coloring pages and tips. Sometimes I think I press too hard with my pencils, and I love seeing that you don’t have to do that. Keep up the good work.
Amanda says
I’ve downloaded some colouring pages from your site as well as others, though this is the first video I’ve watched on how you make your coloured pictures looks so lovely. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to colouring the ones I’ve printed out so far, especially with this new inspiration from you.
