Hi Everybody,Todays card is using the Spectrum Noir Pens and pencils on an image from Saturated Canary
Colors used ...
Pens
Skin FS2 FS3 TN2 CR1
Hair TN2 TN7 TN8 Pencils 97 98 002
Dress LV1 LV2 LV3 Pencils 70 81
And the pencils really do make such a difference when used to accentuate areas of the image.
They are very easy to blend ... with or without blending solution ... and they have a soft waxy consistency to them
I have left the sentiment off as it could be for any occasion and can be added later ... but it is a pretty card that would suit many age groups.
How you dress up the card is a matter of choice but get out those pens and keep practising and if you can afford the pencils then they are well worth collecting.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
Hi Christina, What a lovely card, just stunning! I only wish I could colour even half a beautifully as you do. I guess that's why they ask you to teach us mere mortals. Janelle x
ReplyDeleteOh Wow i can not believe this Christina, i have never used these pens and found out last night that i have won a set along with two stamp sets from a blog hop , and now here you have shown such a beautiful card using them ,i am really impressed with how you have colored the hair , and the shades on the dress are lovely, Now i can't wait for my win so i can have a play { like a big kid i am } and i will look into getting some pencils too .

Good Morning Christina. Wonderful card and so beautifully coloured too. Have a Good Day. Hugs Rita xxx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Christina,
ReplyDeleteI got MY pencils finally when they came available again at CC as i really like the addition that they can make to a finished project as proven by your lovely work of art today that could be for a prom, 18, 21 or even a younger lady who appreciates the work in it. The one thing i want to know is where can i get hair like that from? Thank you Christina once more,
Love and crafty hugs

Hi Christina,

Hi Christina
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card today. Love how you have coloured the girl in. I invested in pro markers when they came out and wonder if it's worth investing in these as well. Would be interested to get someone's opinion on this subject.
Good afternoon Christina
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning colouring and such a beautiful card. Do hope you are now feeling a little better.

You sure know how to use those Spectrum Noir pencils. The shading and shadows and highlights are amazing. Thanks for sharing. I only discovered that Spectrum Noir had pencils, a few days ago. Maybe I can add them to my list in the near future.
ReplyDeletehello Christina, what a very good coloured picture! and a beautiful card!

She is so lovely Christina,and my Granddaughter just loves the fact that it is a purple dress, her fav colour! So now she wants me to do one of my Saturated Canary pics also in purple! So I guess I must give it a go! I have had to cave in a get me a whole load of the S C images, they are just toooo gorgeous to resist aren't they?
ReplyDeleteHugs, Karen xx

ReplyDeleteHi Christina. I've just got home from craft class at JGD crafts. Janet has been showing us the technique of colouring hair, skin and dresses. I only have the pencils and wonder if they can achieve a high standard result too. Also which ones you would use
ReplyDeleteYour coloring technique is just awesome...
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful card for any girl....
Well done Christina
Christina, she is adorable. Lovely colours, wish I could watch you create a few of your cards. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteChristina,
