April Inspiration...

Hello there,

I found a fabulous tutorial for my inspired by post this month as a part of the Spectrum Noir Education Design Team...its using yellows!

Not a simple thing for me, it's not a colour I am drawn too and seem to dodge if I can.  I'm not sure why but its always seemed a strange colour to me lol

So, in the spirit of pushing out of my comfort zone I have used a fabulous tutorial and you can find it HERE by Mari Kocjancic

Here's what I used to make him:

So, as I was looking around I found a tutorial that got me thinking about colouring clothing and making sure I have highlights...here's my finished image after I had read through the fabulous hints and tips...(and keep reading, as my card has a little hidden extra!)

Here's what I used to make it:

Spectrum Noir Blending Embellishments Step by Step

Hello there,

Just popping in to let you know my latest video tutorial for Spectrum Noir Design Team is still on the Crafter's Companion Blog

This tutorial goes back to basics and shows how to practice the basic blending technique with Spectrum Noir markers, but in a way that uses up scrap card stock in a very useable manner.

Blending is one of those techniques that takes practice, and the tutorial covers 4 easy to put together note card designs that utilise the blending technique in a fun and surprisingly quick way. 

The ideas covered in this tutorial can be used to try out new colour blends and also to build a library of blends for future use when colouring up full images and scenes.

Please pop on over to the blog now to see my tutorial HERE 

Here's a sneak peek pic:

All colours and details for the step by step video are on the Crafter's Companion blog now!

Take a peek HERE

Thank you so much for supporting me and my little blog and for popping by today :D

I do hope you hop on over and let me know what you think of my quickie makes xxx
