Brand New Colorista Dark Colouring Pads by Spectrum Noir

Forget what you think you know about colouring books – colouring on BLACK paper with METALLIC pencils is sooooooo pleasing.  Crafter’s Companion are launching three sets of colorista dark pads – Floral Boutique (you can see my makes below), Steampunk themed and Moroccan themed.  Each set comes with a 6x6” pad, a bookmark pad and a tag pad.   Each page has beautiful designs on them created in a black glossy resist (like a black embossing powder).  Colour them in with your blendable colorista metallic pencils – although I even snuck in a bit of my clear Spectrum Sparkle pen on one of my bookmarks to make a sparkly background
TOP TIP:  After you’ve finished your colouring if you need to bring the black lines back up to a beautiful shine (I’m a little heavy handed) then grab a piece of blutack and it will come right off leaving behind the colour on the paper.
Show times on Hochanda: One Day Special on Monday 7th August 6pm, then on Tuesday 9am, 1pm and 5pm.

Altered box created using the bookmark pad.



Altered wooden heart created using the 6x6” pad and cutting out additional dimensional elements.

Accordion tag card using the tag pad and creating “hinges” uses scrap bits of black card.

A bookmark from the bookmark pad!  I only coloured the main images so that I could colour the background with my clear spectrum sparkle pen.  The pen resists the pencil so you can wash right over the whole thing!

A card – of course!  Using the 6x6” pad and cutting out additional images to layer up.  Stick on a sentiment and you’re good to go!

I created this mini tag bag by using 2 of the tags and creating sides by concertinaing some scrap black card.
