Up first today, I HAD to do some coloring with my brand spanking new Spectrum Noir Markers!, and I can honestly say I am just THRILLED how these color! Brief story...I started buying the 'OTHER' markers that shall not be named and when the price did such a jump, I just could not justify spending THAT much for one marker! Sooo, I quit buying them and waited patiently until some nice soul came out with some cheaper but still did as good...these are them. I am serious! Here is my card for today using the markers:
I colored that big ole yummy flower from the new kit, couldnt resist! I, by far, am no expert at coloring with markers, but I so love how this turned out! I used the following Markers:
Next I have a card where I played around with some canvas:
I also colored that big ole flower again using the markers...I didnt do much shading on this, because on canvas, markers of any kind will bleed and I didnt want that. But this overall effect looks good to me! And its hubby's favorite! :D
Ok, ready for more awesome eye candy? Just follow the links below:

That flower is so pretty. Both of your cards are so nice, and love the different textures used on them. Can't wait to try the SN pens.
Fabulous cards. I love how you popped each layer of the flower to give it so much dimension.
Great colors and thanks for your review of these markers.
Lovely cards and the coloring with the new markers is great!
love what you did with the flower. Great cards.
Cat- these are soo pretty and you did a great job on them too!
You are so right about the markers! Price and quality! Love your cards; reminds me of flowers in my garden they are so pretty. How many layers did you fussy cut?
Great cards! That flower is so pretty!
thanks.
Just love what you did with that "big ole flower", Cat. So very pretty in pinks.
wonderful cards, I also have a huge amount invested in those other markers and just picked some up at Joann's using a discount coupon
Loved the stacked flower on card 1. Never had much luck with SN markers and they dried out so fast. My "other" brand have never dried out on me.
Cat, these cards are lovely especially the 3D colored flower - great color combo

Gorgeous flowers, loving the layered one, lots of depth and dimension! TFS!!!
Hi Cat! I am thrilled Gina is carrying the Spectrum Noir markers, and will be doing tutorials using them! I recently got a set at a stamping convention. I really like the markers and the price.
I need to start playing around with different textiles on my cards. Thanks for the inspiration!
