Welcoming Spring with Crafters Companion

Hello!  I hope you had a nice weekend!  Today I'm popping in with a Spring card (even though we are still shivering in Ohio, it is technically Spring lol) that I've created using the newest Sheena Douglas' Lucious Lily Dies and Stamp set...

I used my Spectrum Noir Colorblend Pencils in Essentials to color the images in.  I love how the matching die cuts all of the small intricate parts out for you as well as gives the flowers more dimension by embossing into them, as you can see in the next photo...

I also added some beautiful sparkle with a clear Sparkle Pen :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope Spring finds you soon wherever you are!

ADORNit! Take 3

And I'm back!  I have one last card to share that I've used the ADORNit! Hello Friend Mini Coloring Book, The Ton Stamps: Sending Peonies Stamp Set, and my Spectrum Noir Colorblend Pencils...

Out of the three cards I've shared today, I have to say that this one is my favorite.  I think it is because of the brighter and more tropical colors that I've used, and I really love the touch of yellow on the leaves.  For added dimension I went over some areas with a black gel pen, a white gel pen, and a gold.  I will definitely be keeping this color combo in mind for future floral projects!

I am also entering this card into the Simon Says Stamp Summer Sunshine Challenge 

Thanks so much for stopping by and seeing my creations today!  Here is a final look at all three of the cards I've shared here on my blog and I hope I've inspired you to get those mini coloring books out and make your own clean and simple card designs!

ADORNit! Mini Take #2

Hello, hello!  I'm back on this beautiful Friday to share my second card using the mix of the ADORNit Mini Coloring Book: Hello Friend, Spectrum Noir Colorblend Pencils, and The Ton Stamps.

 Did I mention how much I love how well my Gamsol works on this paper.  I would assume it's because of the paper being watercolor, so it helps the color to blend and holds the Gamsol better than regular cardstock would.

I also added some fun shine on this card by going over it with my Spectrum Noir Crystal Clear Sparkle Pen.  I LOVE the shine it adds in real life.

Thanks again for stopping by and I hope you'll join me one last time today to see a final card created with these 3 products.

Happy Crafting!

ADORNit! + Spectrum Noir = Color Happiness!

Hi!  Today I will be popping in several times sharing some cards that I've created with my ADORNit Mini Coloring Book and my Spectrum Noir ColorBlend Pencils.  These two work perfectly together, and here is my first card that easily came together...

 To create this card I chose a page out of the Hello Friend Mini Coloring Book by ADORNit!.  I then colored it in with my Spectrum Noir Colorblend Pencils.  Next, I used a stamp set called Sending Peonies by The Ton to add my sentiments.  As I wanted the coloring to be the main focus of my card I used a simple silver foiled cardstock to mat it before adhering it to a cardbase.

I added a few sequins to finish it off!  Thanks so much for popping in and I'll be back with a few more quick and easy ADORNit! based cards :).

Happy Crafting!

July 11th Crafters Companion is on HSN

YAY!!!!  It's getting closer to another fun filled day on HSN July 11th with Crafters Companion, and I can't wait!  For now I have the pleasure of sharing peeks of the new products in use, and let me tell you there are so many new goodies it'll be hard to narrow it down.  You can see the products now by going here.  Today I'm going to share a card I've created with the new Spectrum Noir Colorblend Pencils that will be available in sets of 12 with a dvd, and there will be a blending kit that you can add on, as well as the Spectrum Noir Premium Pencil Paper Pad.

To make this card even easier to put together I used the Crafters Companion 30 piece Card Blanks, that are amazing and come with matching envelopes!  These will be available on HSN too!  The floral images are from the Colorista Stamps Collections.  For added shine I've used the Luxury Cardstock in Silver.

These pencils blend beautifully, and all of the colors mix so well between both sets of 12.

Make sure you join in on the Crafters Companion HSN party on Facebook for more peeks, prizes, and fun!
Happy Crafting!
