Monochrome Sitty Pretty

Hello There,

I have several favourite new stamps sitting on my crafty desk ready to colour at the moment, but this one just needed to be done first!

The theme over at That Craft Place Challenge is Blue, so for my DT make 'Sitting Pretty' by Saturated Canary was just perfect...

Love playing with new skin tones...

Hello again,

I love taking inspiration from fellow crafters, especially different colour combinations for my markers.  We all approach our colouring in a different or slightly different way, creating our own style, so when we see a tutorial or a design that we just swoon at we love to take a peek at the colours used and write them in colour journals (yes, the ever growning book where I write down all my combo's)....

So here's one of my latest combo's based on an awesome tutorial by Dilyana Kupenska 
Using HB2 SPECTRUM NOIR in my skin tones...

Here's all the bits you need to know:

1.      

Inspiration: Adding Skin Shades with HB2 by Dilyana

Spectrum Noir Markers:

Skin: FS1, 3, 7, HB2

Hair: EB6, 7, 8, True Black

Dress: GB4, 6, 7, 9

Wings : JG1, 5, 6, 7, GG2

Tabatha has stolen my heart!

Hello there,

Woohoo, it's time for a new challenge for August with the Spectrum Noir blog and the theme is Anything Goes so, let your inner craftyness come out to play and join in.  The prize is just amazing!

Tabitha from the new Dollhouse Precious Dolls collection is just so awesome, so many different ways to colour her that I think I may just keep her on my desk!

I wanted to give her a real stand out background, hence the yellow!  I really thought she deserved to pop off the page and as yellow is a colour I usually shy away from, I thought well let's do this!

Totally pleased with how this turned out!  Happy dance...

Here's the materials I used:
Spectrum Noir markers:

Skin: TN3, FS1, 3, 7

Hair: BG1, 3, 5, 9

Clothes & Wings: GG5, DG4, 3, 2, 1,  GB8, 9, 10

Background: CT1, 2, 3
