Sweet Thoughts Card

Spring is just around the corner, and you can almost smell those flowers. Okay, I'm dreaming, but this card is too cute for words.

I used the Spectrum Noir ColourBlend Pencils to color this sweet image in. I like how you can see the texture I was able to create on the flower petals with coloring. The shadows underneath are easily achieved with a light hand and some blending solution and blending stumps.

Happy Shower Card

I have a baby shower coming up this month and I wanted to create a fun and whimsical card for my friend and their joyous celebration. I decided a giraffe would be adorable for this occasion. Complete with a pink hair bow of course. I don't have girls, so when I can, I create fun and girly things!

 

 

I used a fun floral paper for the background on top of a pink card base. I grabbed a fun Polaroid-inspired die to use to showcase my little giraffe. I popped up the giraffe with some foam adhesive to give some dimension.

This time, I colored with my Spectrum Noir ColourBlend Pencils. They are creamy and so great to color with. If you used the blending solution and paper blending stumps, you can achieve such great dimension!

Thanks for stopping by. Please be sure to visit the Spectrum Noir blog for more inspiration from the other talented design team members!
