Launch of Colourista Aqua by Spectrum Noir!

Show times on Hochanda:  Monday 15th January 2018 at 6pm, 8pm and Tuesday at 9am, 1pm and 5pm.

Spectrum Noir is launching a brand new addition to the Colourista range for lovers of watercolour or anyone who wants to get started with it!  Check out the shows on Hochanda tonight and tomorrow to see the amazing goodies including brand new Colourista watercolour pencils, beautiful watercolour pads with pre stamped images, foiling and white work resist, different sized pads including some ready for cards and some ready for framing and, last but not least, adorable watercolour tag pads with foiling and resist.

The picture inside the frame was coloured easily using the Aqua pens.  The frame was painted with gesso mixed with the aqua pens and even the flowers were die cut and coloured using the same three pens.

Fairy Stamps and Spectrum Noir One Day Special–17th December 2017

I am very excited to share with you my samples created using the brand new Fairy stamps by Donna Ratcliff and coloured with my Spectrum Noir alcohol pens.  These stamp sets are full of everything you need to make full blown fairy-scape scenes or stamping over pretty backgrounds using the silhouette stamps that are also included.  I absolutely love these stamps and they are my favourite release in a long time!  There are so many ways of using them!

Show time on Hochanda:  Sunday 17th December 2017 at 6pm and 8pm then Monday at 9pm, 1pm and 5pm.

More Spectrum Sparkle! Hochanda 19th November 2017

Spectrum Noir are showcasing their amazing sparkle pens again this week on Hochanda.  As always – I wish we had sparkle vision on computers but please believe me when I say these are SUPER sparkly in real life!  Here are the samples that I have recently made…

Show times:  Sunday 19th November 2017 at 11am and 3pm.

Stamps: Hydrangea Heart by Cherry Green

This first card is actually coloured in with the Spectrum Noir alcohol pens but then I have used the clear sparkle pen as an overlay on the butterfly and the flowers.

Stamps: Macaroons by Donna Ratcliffe

This is a more pastel hue card using the paler seasons colours.

Call of the Wild by Sheena Douglass

I’ve been having a play with the Call of the Wild stamps and dies by Sheena Douglass.  The two cards I made below both used the same colouring mediums (a hat trick of Spectrum Noir pens!):

• Main image stamped with Grey Momento ink onto Neenah card and coloured with Spectrum Noir alcohol pens (additional details with Artliner pens)
• Background landscape was stamped using brown archival ink onto Sheena Stamping Card and then coloured using Spectrum Aqua pens
• The sky and additional shimmering reflections on the water were created using Spectrum Sparkle pens
• I’ve also used a bit of distress ink around the edges

Brand New Launch–Spectrum Noir ColourTint Pencils!

If you love your water colour pencils then you are going to absolutely need these new additions to the Spectrum Noir range!  These pencils are very unique in the fact that they are graphite based water soluble pencils and the colours are dark tints.  They work beautifully dry or wet and all of your normal water colour pencil techniques will work with these.  Only two 12-pencil tins are being released at the moment but the tones are plentiful and will obviously play nicely with your Aquablend pencils.  You can catch these launching as a One Day Special on Hochanda from Saturday 4th November alongside some perfectly-matched stamps by Sheena Douglass that have never been seen before!

Show Times on Hochanda: Saturday 4th November 6pm and 8pm, Sunday 5th November 9am, 1pm and 5pm.

Also coming soon on HSN in the USA!
