A Happy Birthday fly by!

Just flying by to share this card I created using Art Impressions stamp set.  This is such a versatile birthday set it can be made to work for young or old birthday wishes.  Just change up your colors and papers to suit the birthday recipient.

Predictable?

This is Mini Hula Girl from Some Odd Girl.  I decided she needed purple hair it would be too predictable to have black hair!

The background is stenciled with Spectrum Noir quick dry inks which makes for a quick card.  Hula girl is colored using Spectrum Noir Illustrators.

Surf's UP!

Had to color up this new June release digi from Some Odd Girl.  Coloring is so relaxing to me and I'm happy to say that I will be once again doing more of it. We all need a little stress relief in these crazy times.  Stay safe!

Mer-MAY!

Puffer Cone Mermaid is a NEW mermaid at Some Odd Girl!  She is a great addition to the other mer-folks at SOG.

She is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and I used some Spellbinders dies to create her extra underwater friends.

Spectrum Noir Markers used:

Skin: TN4, FS2, FS3, FS4, FS6

Hair:  OR1, OR2, OR3, CT1, B03

Other:  IB1 IB2, CR3, CR2, CR4, CR1, GB1, BGR1, BGR2, EB1

Coloring Challenge!

Grab Some Odd Girl's digi Gardening Mae for $1.00 and join the coloring contest at Kit and Clowder.

I'm just getting started using Spectrum noir markers.  There is a learning curve here compared to my usual Copic markers but I love the challenge.  I have a serious alcohol marker addiction.  More practicing to come!!

Spring Flowers!

Want to send flowers...well how about a paper flower pot full of flowers!  I created this using the Crafter's Companion Create a Flower metal die set by Sheena Douglass.  It has three different sized flower petals so you can build the size and type of flower you want.

I used Bazzill white cardstock to cut the flowers and then colored each.  I wanted the petals to have a little bit of a streaky look hoping that would make them look a bit more natural.  I used Spectrum Noir colors:  HB1, HB3, GB4, GY1, AP4, RB2, LG5.

The card opens so you can leave a personal message inside. 

Pink and Purple tag!

Today I'm sharing this bright tag I created using Crafter's Companion Colorista products, including Spectrum Noir Colorista Markers.  There is also an added touch of the Spectrum Noir Sparkle pens.
