Colouring using Spectrum Noir Pens & Pencils

IMG_1016
Just wanted to share with you a couple of Christmas Cards I have made using Crafter’s Companion Vintage Christmas Papercrafting Collection CD.
The patterned papers on both cards have been printed from the Vintage Christmas CD.
The main image on each card is printed off from the Digi Stamp section of the CD.

The Christmas Bells image has been printed onto Neenah Desert Storm Card and I have used Spectrum Noir Pens & Pencils to colour this image.
The Pens I used are CT4, TN2, GB5, FS2, CG2, DG2, DR5, DR7. I followed by using pencils over the top 19, 20, 22, 4, 7, 59, 24, 33.
I have then blended the finished image with the Blending Solution and Paper Stumps and then shaded around the completed image with Spectrun Noir Pen IG1 to help the image stand out.

The Snowman image has been printed onto Neenah White Card and I have used my Spectrum Noir Pencils to colour the image.
The Pencils I have used are 64, 69, 21, 92, 13, 44, 46, 24.
I have then blended the finished image with the Blending Solution and paper Stumps and then shaded around the completed image with Spectrun Noir Pen IG1 to help the image stand out.
