My first DT card of 2017

Hi folks...my first DT card of 2017!!

Today is my last day before going back to work tomorrow s I made a point of spending most of the day crafting!

I bought this stamp just before Christmas as I thought it was quite versatile and I could do lots with it...I haven't used all of the stamps in the set only the main one, still practising with the others.

The stamp is from Concorde and 9th and is called Hello Lovely.  I stamped onto watercolour card and white embossed.  I coloured the image using my Spectrum Noir Aquablend pencils, I started with the lighter shades and then gradually added until I got the shade I wanted...I wanted it to look quite soft.

I stamped some splodges and the sentiment which are from the same set and then added a few sequins to finish.

Pop over to the Spectrum Noir Blog for more inspiration.

Spectrum Noir January Challenge - Anything Goes

There's a new challenge over on the Spectrum Noir Facebook Page, this months challenge is "anything goes"...

You can also pop over to the Spectrum Noir blog to find out loads of tips and techniques on using all your Spectrum Noir products.

For my card I have used Spectrum Noir Aqua pens, Ihave used them together with my new MFT Distressed patterns stamps...I love these so much!!  I coloured the pens onto acetate and then spritzed the colour with water and then stamped into the ink and then stamped onto the watercolour card...it leaves big splodges.  I then added some smaller splodges again using the same ink and technique.  I added a sentiment and some sparkly bits...hope you like!

Doodled flowers

 Hi folks, you know how I love my doodles, well I thought I would show you how I do those doodled flowers using my spectrum noir pens and a fine liner for my DT card for Spectrum Noir.

First of all I die my shapes in white card.

Next I colour the shapes in my chosen colours, it's really easy as you can match the image and papers.

Next the flowers...

I just keep adding colour to build up the colour and shading.

I have used deeper colours next.

Once you think you have the colour you want, you are going to add your doodles with your fine liner, now this doesn't have to be neat...actually doodles look better with some wobbles.

Finally you can add some pearls to the centres.

Here's the final result, I have added the flowers and heart shapes to the card. The image is called I gave you my Heart from the Gorjuss collection at Sugar Nellie.

For the flowers I used:

TN9, OR3, CR8, CR10

For the image I used:

FS2, FS6, FS8, 

IG2, IG3, IG5, IG6, IG7, IG8, IG9
