Pretty in Pastels...with a twist

Hello there,

It's time to share my inspirational post for the Spectrum Noir challenge over on their facebook page.

The latest challenge can always be found on the page header buttons and if its hiding, it will be in the 'more' drop down.

Here's the FaceBook page link SPECTRUM NOIR

The theme is 'Pastels' and I thought I'd stick with my CAS style BUT (lol) I seem to be in a grungy mood with my crafting so its another grumpy grunchy make lol hope you enjoy it as much as I do, everytime I see her she makes me chuckle lol

hehe this one does make me have a little chuckle to myself every time I see it!  But apologies if it offends anyone, but hopefully you'll all be laughing along with me :D

Here's what I used to make it:

By Sandie Gough

Style: Tent Fold

I used the brand new SpectrumAquaBlend Pencils that are so highly pigmented I adore them even more: 

Black, Opal Blue, Indigo, Grapefruit, Ginger

Crafter’s Companion Watercolour card, Centura Teal Green card & White Hammered card

Collal All Purpose & Tacky Glue

Image – Taylored Expressions, Costume Grumplings

Worn Lipstick – Distress Ink; Cobalt Blue – Archival Ink

I just adore these stamps, they just make me smile

Stepping into Spring Colours

Hello there,

I decided to use another of the new release images from That Craft Place to bring some spring colour onto my crafty desk (and yes, its watercolour and those that know me know I can't do anything without making a mess lol) so I'd love to share it with you.

No spring flowers, but instead a fabulous Sun and spring colours in the image and papers, just a touch, as to me, Spring is about colour just starting to push through the grey haze of winter skies.

Here's the list of the lovely materials I used to make it xx

Style: Centre Stepper

Image: That Craft Place

Spectrum Aqua Markers:

Clothes - Aquamarine, Sepia, Chocolate, Boulder

Skin – Desert, Jasmine, Peach

Hair – Chocolate Sepia

Sun – Yellow

Spectrum ColorBlend Pencils: Maroon, Flame Red, Maple &

Crafter’s Companion Watercolour card

I adore watercolouring with the Spectrum Aqua Pens; and don't forget there is so many hints, tips and tutorials over at Spectrum Noir WebPage
