Fruits in Season Tutorial for Spectrum Noir.

Hello to everyone.  The year is well and truly on the turn.  Its strange how the time of year and perhaps the length of the days influences your colour choices.  I have a tutorial to share for Spectrum Noir featuring Apples in Season.  This is a beautiful digital stamp from Power Poppy which I previously colored on kraft card. 





I had entered my kraft card colouring into the Power Poppy Coloring Competition on PPC.  I am delighted to report that the card won!  So very excited and will be sharing colourings of more of these wonderful images very soon.





Happy crafting fun to all.

Fun Colorista colourings!

Hello to everyone.  I have been so enjoying working with the Spectrum Noir Colorista pads and items.   I would like to share some colourings with you before the UK Colorista launch on Hochanda on the 9th at 8pm.  These will give you an idea of the pads available and some of the effects that you can achieve.



Some fun colourings from a selection of the pads.  You can see the glitter detail on some of the images.



This is a full sheet of Natural Beauty from the Premium Pencil Pad-foil accents.  This sheet has been coloured using Spectrum Noir Sparkle markers applied straight to the pad.  The foiling detailing is fabulous.



An A4 glittered sheet, coloured and ready to be mounted and used to make a fun project!
Adult colouring is quite compulsive.  I have so enjoyed creating these samples.


Happy crafting fun to all.
