Make Your Life Colourful

Hi everyone, today I would like to show you this step by step tutorial on how you can create this fun home decor project! The completed project is larger then A4 so it will take some time to make but you can make your own project smaller or larger if you please (I usually adjust the size of my project to the frame the project is placed in). Step 1: The image that I’m using today I found online. I traced the image onto craft coloured paper suitable for coloured pencil. Step 2:

Hi everyone, I’m so happy to be back as a guest designer for Whimsy Stamps, and today I’m showing you how you can create two different Christmas cards using a few gorgeous Whimsy Stamps stamp sets.

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 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! S

Hi everyone, today I would like to show you this home decor project that I created for our neighbour’s son (who is two) his bedroom, as a thank you gift for them taking care of our plants during our summer vacation! Step 1: On a sheet of Strathmore Toned Tan Paper (slightly larger then A4 size) I first traced a The Picsees image and then added details with a regular pencil. Then I pencilled in the quote and when I was happy I went over the lines using a black 01 Spectrum Noir

Hi everyone, today I’m showing you another card coloured with the Spectrum Noir Colourblend pencils and a fun Lili of the Valley digital stamp, but this time I’m showing you the step by steps as well. Step 1: I started my card by printing this LOTV “Annabel Upside Down” digital image onto Canson Mi-Teintes Pastel paper (from the block with five colours this is the middle colour, a sort of yellow-greenish-brown coloured paper). This paper is awesome to colour on and for colour

Hi everyone, today I have an easy project for you where I use, next to the white, only four coloured pencils to colour up the images on this card! Lots of coloured pencils are a lot of fun to have but you don’t always need many to create a great project! Step 1: I started my project by stamping the flower image from the Studio Light Essentials range stamp set with number STAMPSL378 onto Strathmore “Toned Tan” paper using Versafine “Onyx Black” ink. Then I coloured my highligh

Hi everyone, today I have a card for you showing you how you can create a cute little scene with some fun sea images and using lots of Spectrum Noir Colourblend coloured pencils along the way! Step 1: On some Canson 1557 extra white paper I stamped a couple of images from the Studio Light Caribbean Sea Collection stamp sets: STAMPSL383 and STAMPSL385. These I coloured with the following colours of Spectrum Noir Colourblend pencils: Pumpkin, Nectarine, Flame Red, Pistachio, Ja

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
