The other day I was up at the Spectrum Noir blog and showed how to color Texture Paste using Aqua Tints. I used gold paste but it would be beautiful using white too. For details and full tutorial hop on over to the Spectrum Noir blog.
Spectrum Noir markers used: CT3, CT4, GT2, GT3, BT1, GG1, Blender.
AquaTint nr 16.
Stamps by Crafter’s Companion and Winnie & Walter
Today is the day we celebrate christmas in Sweden so I wanted to wish you all a very merry christmas! I do it by posting all my left over christmas projects that haven't made it to the blog before. I hope you find something you like and I'm so glad you stopped by.
These are tea bag dispensers, I learned to make them by my very nice table neighbours on the crop I went to a few weeks ago. I did a tutorial on them for the Crafters Companion UK advent calendar so If you are interested you should check out their blog.
I made this with stuff I had out on the desk one day.
This one is kinda cute, I love the bird by Winnie & Walter <3
This is not a christmas card but I made it on the crop and thought I'd share it anyways.
I could not let the negatives go to waste when making the other card so this is a bonus one.
For a sketch challenge at the crop, I even used some patterned papers for this!
And lastly a gold embossed little thing, pretty fun with the cute pine cones!
I hope you have a wonderful holiday and get some spare time to enjoy some crafting too.
The theme for the December challenge at Spectrum Noir is CAS. I always have a hard time knowing what really is CAS. I think I gravitate to CAS but it is hard to stop before tipping over on the other side to not so CAS ;) This is my try anyways. I used the lovely stamps I won from Winnie & Walter with the Spectrum Noir markers and the new Sparkle pens. And Gold embossing. And also some glossy accents. See what I mean, when to stop? I think it turned out pretty cute anyways.
Do hop on over to Spectrum Noir to see all the details and make something using Spectrum Noir products for a chance to win.
Spectrum Noir Markers: JG1, DR5, GB10.
Sparkle pens: Red Berry, Crystal Clear
I love to make fun cards for the holidays and I made this using this cute monster guy by a Swedish company called Gummiapan. Isn't he adorable? I partially inked up the sentiment from one of the new Winnie & Walter sets to make it two rows instead of one long. I did consider cutting it apart but I still feel like they will scream. I'm way to attached to my stamps even though I do sometimes cut them apart too if needed.
I used my Spectrum Noir Markers to color him: DR5, CR9, CR10, JG5, LG5, GG1. Really simple coloring. I did go in with the blender pen in the spots so that I didn't have to color around them. I finished up with some Glossy Accents on his eyes and spots and on the little heart. That's it. A not so holiday-y holiday card ;)
I got inspired by and old tutorial from the Spectrum Noir blog on coloring on kraft cardstock. I have used the Spectrum Noir pencils on kraft cardstock but never the markers so I had to give it a try. I used some of the new Winnie & Walter stamps that I won, they are so pretty! I stamped the bird on a branch and gave it a shot. I picked pretty dark colors to make them really show up and I might have gone a bit to dark with them but I was really happy with the look so I'll definitely give this a try again. I added some snow with a white gel pen because it lightens up the card a bit. And I did cover the bird with the Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen. Because I can't stop reaching for them.
I angled the card to make the sparkle show.... It's hard to capture on pictures :)
Spectrum Noir Markers: DR3, DR6, DR7, GB9, GB10, OR2, LG4, LG5, EB2, EB3, BG1 + Clear Sparkle pen
I'm up at WOW! today with this card where I used one of my new diecuts by Winnie & Walter and covered it with the new Mistletoe Magic embossing powder. It's super glittery and pretty. Hop on over to the WOW! blog to see all of the card and read about how I made it.
I hope you are having a great weekend! I'll be back again soon with a new project. Hope to see you back then :)
I used the very shimmery Sparkle pens by spectrum Noir to color this image. I used nothing else and I'm very happy with the result. They blend so beautifully, both with each other and with water. The petals I colored by using a darker color in the shaded areas and pulling it out with a lighter color. The background I made by coloring around the paper and using water to fade it out. Fun, right?
Here's a closeup of all that shimmer. I adore these pens! I want to add glitter to everything now :) The flowers are by Lawn Fawn from a set called Flutter by and the sentiment by Winnie & Walter from The Big, the Bold and Friends. Colors of Sparkle Pens used: Rose Quartz, Solar Red, Moonstone and Olive Jade.
I shared a tutorial for making the pretty background for this card using AquaTints on the Spectrum Noir blog yesterday. I really love how this card turned out with the bold black in the background and the pretty pink flowers in front. The sentiment by Winnie & Walter is just fit perfect with the flowers. I was so happy when I was done with the card and am happy to share it. For the full tutorial on the background make sure you pop on over to the Spectrum Noir blog. If you haven't visited before you really should. It's full of useful tips and tricks and tutorials and wonderful projects made by the SN team.

It's my turn to show something on the Pretty Crafty Stuff facebook page today and I love the light bulb. I embossed it with Neutral ultra shimmer embossing glitter from WOW! and ran it through a Xyron sticker maker to attach it to the watercolor panel. I stamped text using a Winnie & Walter stamp set that I love. That font on the "you"... <3
Anyways, still keeping it pretty simple to be done with everything before Meet & Greet this weekend. I'll be seeing a lot of my crafty wonderful friends and even though I'm technically working I hope to get some crafty time too.
I used half of one of the stamps in the set Sparkle to create a sun and paired it with the words you shine. I thought it looked kind of fun. I added a really old cloud paper from my stash as a background and kept it simple. I was really just playing and thought it turned out cute. I never make square cards so it's pretty unusual for me.
And that's it for the challenges for WCMD at Winnie & Walter, I had fun!
Happy scrapper from Sweden.
