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. And if you ever need an advocate for these pens, I'm your woman!!!!!!!
And here's the card that Marie made...
If you want to see more of what Marie has created then please visit her blog.
I've also got a great tutorial for you today on using the pens to colour hair on stamped images by DT member Linda Hill. If you want to know how you get from this...
to this...
then you need to hop across to Linda's blog where she gives you full photographic step-by-step instructions. She explains really clearly how you go from the lightest shade down to the darkest shade and then how you go over the top of it all with the lightest pen again to blend it all in nicely. 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!
