Colouring hair tutorial

How are you getting on with your Spectrum Noir pens guys & gals? If you haven't heard of the new Spectrum Noirs by Crafter's Companion then where have you been?!! They are the fabaroo new alcohol pens that are taking the craft market by storm! Don't just take our word for it though, this is what Marie Bridgeman has to say about the pens...

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for bringing us the Spectrum Noirs!! I've never been any good at blending with promarkers so had resigned myself to just colouring within the lines LOL! But because of the reasonable price of the SNs, I thought I'd give them a try and from the first go, have been thrilled with the results!! Here's the first card I've made with them.

then you need to hop across to Linda's blog where she gives you full photographic step-by-step instructions.

It's a handy little tutorial that will really help you along to achieve professional looking results.

Let us know how you get on with them!
