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!

It's Friday and I have an awesome Rockin Mom to share...

Hello again,

It's Friday so its my turn to showcase one of the amazing images from Slinky Tart and I have gone for an oldie but a goodie...

Rocking Mom is one of Tamara's older images that she brought into Slinky Tart from her previous collections under the name of The Stamping Chef.  I am so glad she did because she is just totally epic!

Here she is:

Rocking Mom by Slinky Tart

Using the off cuts for inserts ensuring a perfect match without wasting precious paper

I have coloured her with Copics and then used the totally gorgeous Botanical Tea paper pad for the backing.  I have cut elements from the pad to mat and layer with her, and I used a Spellbinders ornate die to add a little touch of something.
I just love the contrast between the Rocking Mom image and the rather sophisticated suggestions of the paper...don't judge what you don't know she is saying, perhaps!
I added a little embellishment but as the paper is so busy I didn't need much but still managed to use Frantage on a few bits lol and of course you will spot my 'signature' multi layered punched butterflies here and there :D

Here's the close ups:

Thank you so much for visiting and don't forget to follow my little blog for more of my crafty madness.
