Magnolia and Spectrum noir pens.

I got some new Magnolia stamps saturday in the post from "Crafts U Love" and thought I would play with 2x of them this evening to make the scene and then I coloured it in using the new Spectrum Noir pens from Crafters Companion.

Humphrey and Spectrum noir pens.

Here is my first attempt colouring my fave Humphreys corner stamp with the new spectrum noir pens, both from Crafters companion. Am seriously chuffed with this image.

I emailed this into the 3pm show on create and craft and got wonderful comments off the loverly Leann and Lottie.

Super chuffed.



Walter and Winnie using Spectrum noir pens.

Here is my favourite digital stamp of all time "Walter and Winnie" from the 'Double sprinkes of Kraft cd' from Nikky Hall at Polkadoodles and Sharon Armstrong at Willow Designs. Which I have coloured in with my new Spectrum noir pens from Crafters Companion.

Spent the afternoon playing with the speccies.

Spent a loverly relaxing afternoon playing with the new spectrum noir pens. I may still be awaiting the 2 missing pens to make my full set but I totally adore these pens.

 

SWALK stamp and spectrum noir pens.

Been playing with my new spectrum noir pens on my SWALK stamps this evening. Both available from Crafters Companion.

Spectrum noir update.

I am loving the new pens but still have to await 2 pens to come from Crafters companion. I was very unlucky and have had duplicates in 3 boxes now and 1 faulty pen in one my 6 packs. Crafters companion themselves have been brill about sorting the issues out and I am thankful for that. My health doesn't take stress well so am pleased they have such great customer service.

Haven't had time to play today but am hoping to get to play over the weekend.

To those of you thinking about these pens all I can say is I adore them. I would also say to those waiting for deliveries "Enjoy them when they come and have fun."

The pens are on "create and craft" over the weekend so keep an eye out as there will be loads of hints and tips.
The shows the pens are in are:
Saturday: 10am, 12noon, 4pm and 6pm
Sunday: 11am, tool shed and 3pm.

Colouring with spectrum noir pens.

Been playing with my spectrum noir pens from Crafters Companion again tonight. This is what I managed to do with them tonight.

My first attempts with Spectrum noir pens.

Here are my first attempts using the brand new spectrum noir pens from Crafters Companion.

Spectrum Noir pen delivery.

I had my delivery of spectrum noir alcohol markers pens from Crafters Companion and I absolutely ADORE these pens. I had the 12 pack launch offer delivered and so need to save the pennies to get the four 24 pen (pastels, lights, brights,darks) sets to complete the full range. Despite having a faulty pen which they are replacing no problem I have had a great time just playing with them and scribbling on a piece of scrap stamping card to test the pens.

If anyone is in any doubt about these pens all I can say is these are the best pens I have tried for me personally. I love the juiceness of the inks and the shape of the barrel and love the nibs (one broad chissel and one thin bullet tip). Plus I can stack the pens on my desk. The price is super duper too.

Must stamp some images and get colouring in now. Thanks to loverly Sara Davies and her team at Crafters Companion for yet again another wonderful product.
