Decades - 40's Fashion all in Pinks

Well, and a little Purple! lol

Hello there,

One of the great things about being on the Spectrum Noir Education Design Team (and there are many many many great things about being on the team!) is that we take time once per month to go back over our team mates tutorials and pick one to follow. It's such an awesome thing to do, I love it, it really gives me a chance to breath, follow the advice and I always learn something about my own style and how I approach colour :D

This month I decided to follow an awesome tutorial by my colleague, the uber colourist Laine Webb which you can find on the Spectrum Noir Blog HERE and here's mine using Laine's colours and tutorial:

Phew...I'm not a pink kinda person, so this was a real challenge :D
Here's what I used:

Mama's Boy...

Hello there,

It's September! Where is this year going! Anyhoo, the first of the month means we can share the start of a new challenge over on the Spectrum Noir Blog

The theme this month is 'Embossing' - it can be either wet or dry embossing and the only rule is you must use a Spectrum product in your make, that's it! So you can go crazy with your Spectrum Noirs, Spectrum Aqua Markers, Aqua Tints or Spectrum Pencils

Here's my Design Team inspiration:

I seem to be firmly routed in the CAS style of late! Who knew I'd love it so much! I was pleased with how this turned out, but I am still a little unhappy that I stuck the 'smile' die cut at the top! I think it was way better before I stuck it there, but I couldn't get it off without ruining it so there it is.

Here's what I used to make it:

Medium: Spectrum Noir markers

Skin: TN3. FS2. 9, 7, CR2

Hair: EB2, 6, 7, 8

Clothes: BGR 1, 3, 4, 5, DR7, CR7

Shoes: IG1, 5, 7, True Black

Crafter’s Companion Matt Black card

Linen Texture card

Embossing folder: Craftwell Teresa Collins Just Words A4 folder

Easy Crystals, Distress Ink, Black Momento Ink

Die'namics Blueprint die set
