Sparkling on the Waves

Hello there,

I'm swinging past your screens to share another make for the amazing Spectrum Noir Education Design Team

Seriously, the Spectrum Noir Blog has so many tutorials, step by steps, downloadable charts for you to take a peek at to help get the most out of your Spectrum Noir products

Nuff said!  Well almost! lol I start out saying I'm not gonna ramble on, but I always do!

So pic time

Card Designed by Sandie Gough
But the real heros are the artists and suppliers:

Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens:

Blue Topaz, Moonlight,  Sea Breeze, Sand Dune, Teacup

(Technique – colored small area’s of the waves, then change color, and repeat. 

Effect – random color for a natural look)

Crafter’s Companion – Matt Black Card, Water Color Card, White Hammered Card

Diamond Press – Starter set, Sentiment die,  stamps on tag

Coordinations card – shattered pad

Collal 3D, All Purpose and Tacky Glue

I adore this collection of stamps and matching MDF, although I haven't used the MDF pieces, just the stamps alone make an awesome mascaline card.

The sea/waves stamp has been repeat stamped a fair few times to get the size of background I needed but it was so simple to line up.

The starter set of dies with The Diamond Press are just awesome.
I love it when I can die cut a sentiment from the backing papers

Simple layering

Thank you so much for stopping by and please do leave me a comment before you go.  It would be ace if you could click to follow my blog so you can take a peek at my next project!

Christmas Landscape Tutorial with Spectrum Aqua

Hello there,

Today I'd love to share with you my first Tutorial as a part of the Spectrum Noir Educational Design Team :D

Using Specrum Aqua markers by Crafter's Companion are so simple to use that they can make bulk making Christmas cards so much easier.

My tutorial will show you how, with just 2 markers, you can use the Spectrum Aqua's to create a snowy landscape and insert.

So, grab a cuppa and settle down to watch how I created this Snowy Landscape with the following materials:

Specrum Aqua Markers from Primary Set – Navy & Aquamarine

Crafter’s Companion 300gsm Watercolour card

Crafter’s Companion Mat Black Card

Red liner tape, Collal All Purpose glue & Tacky glue

Die’sire Christmas Classique die’s: Frosty The Snowman and

Festive Foliage
