Soft Focus Background

hi everyone

decided to finish colouring in the stamped image i did for tutorial in Spectrum Noir Pens
i have done a soft focus background for this one....but doesn't it make the image pop from the page
love doing these backgrounds it's just Dots......
why not try a soft focus back ground it's very quick but so effective.

Little Tutorial Colouring Reds with Spectrum Noir Pens

first stamp your image with momento ink onto neenah card

decide where your light sorce will be coming from  mine will be on the right hand side
use the lightest of your colours i have used orange  no 23.....

then added coral red no 12 at both sides of the orange then with the lightest  orange colour  23 work over the coral red to blend the colours at the joins

contiue with other colours in bands as be-for working out to the edges of image...
with scarlet  no 13 and  brick red no 94  for the darket shadow areas  you dont need alot of the brick red 

 
as you can see i have gone over each band of colour with the  scarlet then coral red working inwards
 till i reached the orange (lightest area)  
with chisel end i went over the final strip of orange colour to bring them all together in a smooth blended piece you can add more of the brick red to get deeper shadows but dont forget to blend out with the scarlet

little tip
if you dont have all the colours i have used you can deepen the reds you have by leaving them to dry and going over a smaller area with the same colour 
 the green grey 3 is very good with the reds that doesnt move the red colour around you can place that on top of your reds once its completed if you choose to

i hope that helps with your reds  in Spectrum Noir  pens

wild rose with butterfly card

finally here is the last of the fusion cards i have made using the fab fusion wild rose and butterfly stamps
as i said at the beginning i could only use 3 colours of paint
at first i thought oh eck !!!!!!!!!!!what do i do with just 3 colours ? but hopefully i did ok... it even suprised me just how many diffrent card designs you can do with a limited pallet..... for this card i used backing papers from crafters companion and one from nit wits they were already printed out do why not use them i used the spellbinders decal oval die some glitter ribbon and card candi all on white card stock
it's been a pleasure to share with you all.
