Spectrum Noir Blog Challenge - November

Hi Everyone

I've tried to get myself in gear to ensure I don't miss making challenge cards as I've missed a few lately.  So here is my second one for November and there's not much time left to take part.  The theme for the  Spectrum Noir Challenge is winter or Christmas and I've chosen a beautiful bebunni image and coloured with my spectrum noir markers.

The image is  Christmas Angel and I've used centura pearl card for the card base.  I've matted and layered with mirri card and some beautiful paper i picked up from an art store in London, ages ago.  Its been sitting in my craft stash just waiting to be used.  to complete I've just added some ribbon, a snowflake and some glamour dust.

Colours used blender, ig1 3 5 8, eb1, pp1 ly1 ly3 jg1, lg2, lg4

Hope you like it and pop over to take part as you just may win a prize.

Crafters Companion Challenge May - Masculine

Hi Everyone

Today I am sharing a card I made for a demo at Mb Crafts, Cleethorpes a couple of weeks ago.  It was the first time i demonstrated the spectrum noir pencils and i have to say everyone loved them.

So this months Crafters Companion challenge is Masculine and I am like a lot of other people out there and struggle for ideas for cards for the men or boys, so i took the easy option and chose a fab image from CC's Angelica and Adam range, called Pirates Ahoy.

I've matted papers from the Male 6x6 paper pad onto white centura pearl pearl card, also using cc matt black card too.  The colours uses for both spectrum noir Pens and Pencils are

pens tn1, 2 & 3, eb1, eb2, eb3 fs4 & 8, ig1, 2, 5, 7 & 9 tb2, 5,& 9, DG2
pencils 52, 65, 66, 89, 104 & 120.

then I've finished off with a few black pearls and a sentiment from my stash.

Hope you like it and pop over and take part if you have time.
