Make Your Life Colourful

Hi everyone, today I would like to show you the first page in my Spectrum Noir Art Journal, and since this is the first page I thought it would be fitting to call this page “New Beginnings”. This particular journal I’m working in is available on the Crafter’s Companion website. I don’t work directly on the pages but use the journal to add my projects into! Step 1: I printed this digital image by Power Poppy Stamps (“Hellebores”) onto alcohol marker friendly paper and let it s

Hi everyone, today, on Halloween, I would like to show you this art journal page for which I used a minimum of supplies. Since there is a moon in my image apparently it’s night time and it would look odd to use bright colours, so instead I only used shades of white, gray and black to create depth in my image.

This paper is awesome to colour on and for colour

Hi everyone, today I have another colouring tutorial for you using the Spectrum Noir Colourblend coloured pencils, using this fun image by Power Poppy. Step 1: I started my project by printing this gorgeous digi by Power Poppy called “Hyacinth Bulb in Glass” onto Strathmore “Toned Tan” paper. Then I die cut around the printed image using a stitched rectangle die, making sure that I have enough room left on the right bottom hand side to add the quote later on. To get the colou

Hi everyone, today I have a fun home décor / craft room decoration project for you as a Spectrum Noir Design Team Member! And I really feel that this quote is oh so true: don’t wait till the moment inspiration hits you to get crafty, get crafty and you will have more idea’s for future projects then you can handle (you might want to write them down)! So, let’s get started! Step 1: I first decided what size my picture frame would be. Then I used a piece of Strathmore “Toned Tan
