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:

So if you have been searching for some wonderful awesome markers, at a MUCH better price...these are them! And we are so lucky to have Gina K Designs carrying them! :D

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:


Thanks sooo much for hanging with me during my lack of ...oh laziness! LOL! I have so many more cards to share with you with this kit and will be uploading them as the week goes by! so come on back for a visit! Ill keep the door open for ya! :D

  31. 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.
