Spectrum Noir Colorista Glitter Card

Happy Saturday! Today I have a beautiful card that I can't wait to share. It was created with the new Spectrum Noir Colorista line!! These are amazing adult coloring marker pads and markers. There are foil, glitter and regular marker pads to choose from in different sizes. There is a great deal on a bundle over at HSN.com where you can find these products. Click THIS link to go there and see what there is to offer!

I simply colored in the balloon art from the Spectrum Noir Colorista In Full Bloom Premium Marker Pad and cut it to fit my card front. I adhered that panel on and then stamped the sentiment from the Stamp-It Australia Imagine, Time to Dream set with some Memento Luxe in Wedding Dress. I added a simple rhinestone to the little crown and popped it up with some foam adhesive. Very simple and gorgeous card!

I love the ease of making projects with these marker pads. You can take them with you anywhere, color them at your leisure and then create beautiful items with the colored pages!! The markers have a thin and thick nib that are great for smaller areas and then larger areas. They also blend fabulously!!!! I can't speak highly enough about all of the items from the Colorista line. Get them and you'll be coloring gorgeous images like this in no time.

Another great and FREE thing you can do is sign up for the FREE online coloring course from Spectrum Noir. There are videos to show you how to color and different products you can color with with tips and tricks!

Thanks for stopping by!

HSN Releases for Crafter's Companion

It's a fun time for Crafter's Companion. Sara Davies will be on HSN May 4. Check out the details HERE! Wonderful new products and samples will be featured. Stay tuned to get them first and see the amazing designs available!!! Just in time to shop for Mother's Day :)

.......................................................................................................................................................................

First up is the new stamp set series called Verity Rose. She's got a multitude of different looks in these stamp sets along with accessory sets. I mean, how brilliant is that?! I used the Destiny set, and this is what I made with it:

I wanted to create her as the main focal point and a sky behind her like she's flying. I achieved that with using the Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens in Moonstone and Crystal Clear. For the image of her, I used my Spectrum Noir Blendable Colored Pencils (048, 054, 007, 009, 095, 094, 033, 029, 061, 063, 038, 083, 026, 034, 093, 084, 089, 118, 065, 098, 103, 070). This is on the Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock which is always my go-to paper for any project I'm going to be coloring. It's just amazing stuff right there. 

I distressed the edges and adhered it to a simple black cardstock base to make it pop off the page. It really helps to focus on the main image that way! 

.......................................................................................................................................................................

Here is the other stunning sets that are coming to HSN!!! Butterfly Lullaby 4x5 Stamp Sets. These are bigger images and are perfect for card fronts, gift bags, gift tags, boxes, and so much more! Again, we know I love butterflies, so I had to make something with one of the sets. I chose this particular image (they're all amazing) for my card. 

I colored this in with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers. For something different, I decided to cut the image apart into 4 squares just slicing out about an 1/8" in the center horizontally and vertically. It creates a fun look for this layout. 

I had a lot of fun with this particular card. I love how it came out and how colorful the card is, but it's not too busy! You must check out these sets on HSN and get yours today!!! They're must have items.

Crafter's Companion HSN Show Blog Hop

Good morning! Thanks for joining me today in the super fun blog hop to get ready for Sara Davies’ shows on HSN! Sara will be part of the HSN 24-hour Day of Crafts on July 1st. Please check the Crafter's Companion US Facebook page for times! 

And what's a hop without amazing prizes up for the giving? All of my teammates are giving away stamps or dies...make sure you hop along to everyone’s blog, and leave comments to win their fabulous prizes! And be sure not to miss the huge prize packs on the Crafter’s Companion US blog and over on Sara Davies’ blog! We will be selecting the winners by July 2nd. ALL winners will be responsible for contacting prizes@crafterscompanion.com with their address and prize they won. Have fun along the hop! The list for the hop participants is below. 

Now, on to my project! I've created a beautiful, bright card today with the Sheena, A Little Bit Sketchy EZMount Stamp Set, Tropical Nectar. I have stamped this image onto my Ultra Smooth White Premium Cardstock with Memento in Tuxedo Black. I colored it in with my Spectrum Noir Markers (GT1, GT2, JG1, TB1, TB2, TB3, TB4, BT3, BT4, BT5, GB3, HB1, HB3, LG4, LG5, IB1, CT1, CT4, CR3, CR6, FS5, FS9, Blender).

For the pop of pink on the bottom, I used the Shimmering Cardstock in Rose Pearl with the Embossalicious Lattice folder. I rounded all the corners on the colored piece and embossed cardstock and glued the two together. The sentiment is also from the Tropical Nectar set as well. I simply stamped and diecut that with the Die'Sire Essentials, Rectangles die. I rounded 3 of the corners. For some fun pops of colors, I colored three enamel dots with my Spectrum Noir Markers to match the hummingbird's feathers. 

I tied some twine around the card and snuck in the sentiment behind that and adhered everything with the Extra Strong Permanent Tape Runner to the black cardstock base (folded to 4.25x5.5). I hope you enjoyed my project today and have a ton of fun hopping along to see what my the other design team members have created today for this special hop.
