Here is my contribution to a Fantastic  

Spectrum Noir Blog Hop....

 i love the way the Spectrum Noir Reds blend so well together

they give you a rich luxurious look to any of your projects 

i have used Neenha card  Core-dination Centrua pearl card  Satin finish printing paper  E craft 

all from Crafters Companion

the stamp is from LOTV 

the backing paper is from a Nit Wit kit ,fancy oval frame from spellbinders  GoKreate die for base card and matting layers

my Tip

 for getting a smooth blend  colour the complete area with your lightest colour first  then go over with your other colours  blending out the joins as you go 

the colours i have used for this card are

EB1- EB2- BG2- CR10- DR3- DR5- DR7- CG1- CG2- CG3- GB3- GB4- GB5 GG1- GG2- EB6- EB8

Faux Tile Effect with Distressing Markers

Goodness me im so late today

so what have i been playing with

the new Sheena Douglass Stamps that are Launched today

Tim Holts Distressing Markers and Embossing powders

I used water colour paper ,centrua pearl  and core-dination from

Crafters Companion

if you would like to try making a Faux  Tile Effect

draw a grid in pencil on  your water colour card fill in with 3 colours from same colour family

i used  mustard seed spiced marmalade and barn door

colour in your blocks  then spritz with water   so that your colours start to bend

when it’s nearly dry go over your lines with fine tip in forest moss

it will bleed slightly  but that gives you some depth then leave it to dry completely

i over stamped using Sheena’s Silhouette of the highland in  versa fine  watermark ink pad with  a white glitter embossing powder

matted onto core-dination card  onto a 8x8 centrua pearl card blank added a few crystal dew drops

have ago its great fun

thank you for popping by
