Today I'd like to share a card I made using a comical little House Mouse image coloured with my new Spectrum Noir pencils from Crafter's Companion. These pencils are so easy to use and blend and have the ability to give you strong, bold looks, or pastel, watercolour style effects. I was tempted to add in my alcohol markers too, but in the end decided to simply use the pencils, teaming the colours up with pink and green background papers, and ribbed chocolate brown cardstock..
The flowers used are from the Ribbon Girl and my stash, I punched the leaves, added lace, a ribbon and pearl bow, and a sentiment from Craftwork Cards.
Anyway, hope you like this springtime coloured card. Why not pull out your pencils or markers, pop over to the Spectrum Noir blog and join in with their challenge, which this month is 'Anything Goes'.
Thanks for stopping by.
Best wishes and bye for now
