Celebrate Derby Days with Altered Pages

Spectrum Noir Pens  : OR3, GG1, GG2, PP1, IB2, TN4, DG2, CG2, PP4, GB1

The above Derby Day Fat Book collage was created using the 111D Vintage Hats Collage sheet and the 1025D Vintage Horses Collage Sheet. Both Sheets were printed using the BLACK ONLY option on the printer to give "black and white" images to colorize. I found that using my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Based Markers to color these images--you will notice the horse in the middle is originally brown on the collage sheet and our lovely lady had a white shirt and a tea colored beverage.The background was a Bazzill Antiques Pad Dictionary Page and the alphabet letters were from Graphic 45. After coloring the images, I layered the pieces onto the fat book chipboard and used Antique Matte Mod Podge. Once dry I smeared on some brown pigment ink and heat set the color. Want 2 Scrap Pink Pearl Bling finished off the piece. 

I hope you enjoy my Derby Day Fat Book Collage! Thank you for looking!

Spectrum Noir Pens and a new (to me) challenge

If you are looking for my Delightful Challenges Weekly Post it is here.

As many of you know, I received Spectrum Noir for my Birthday Present in March and my beautiful family members have been finding opportunities to add to my collection...I have loved using my BIC Mark-Its..and they served a purpose for a long time but I have been finding it difficult to replace my favorite markers in that collection. I have retired them for my regular digital stamp coloring as I have a strong preference for the Specturm Noir now.

Why Spectrum Noir and not Copic you ask?? It was a simple decision for me...their collection was smaller so actually achieving a point at which I owned them all was conceivable. They were priced perfectly at about HALF the Copic Marker. I also loved you could buy them in sets of 24 or in 6 packs, and of course there are refills and replacement nibs for your pens!!! YAY!
Why I LOVE them... The colors are beautiful and are plenty juicy! There are wonderful tutorials on their website and you can work on being a certified Spectrum Noir colorist on your own and send them in your work!! You don't have to pay for or attend a class--how cool is that!?!?! So...as I get a few more pens I will be working on becoming certified! :)

Spectrum Noir also has a monthly contest where you can use whatever stamps you like as long as you use ONLY Spectrum Noir Pens!!! I am thrilled--I can get some practice coloring with my new pens and potentially win MORE pens!!! Talk about WIN WIN! So this months challenge is all about Purple. Complete rules are here. I created this fun greeting card for a friend's birthday  using Digital Delights fantastic Pressie Josie stamp, Coredinations Cardstock and Beacon 3in1 adhesive to attach the papers and the ribbon! I hope you enjoy my card.
