My first Speccies card!

As I said in the last post - this is the third image coloured with my Spectrum Noirs!

 But this is the first card I've put together with the images coloured with the Speccies. If there's anyone out there who hasn't bought them yet, but isn't sure if they can justify spending all of that money, you really should. I have used other pens before, and never got on with them well, but the Speccies are so much simpler. I am just starting out with them, so have a lot more to learn but I am loving it!

I really need to practice with the greens though, I was given the basic starter kit and have found myself struggling with blending the greens, so I can't wait to get the 24 pen sets & see if that makes it easier for me.

If there's any colouring experts reading this then I would LOVE for you to tell me where I am going wrong with the greens please.

I have chosen to make the card simple, but think it needs something in the top right-hand corner, I will have to hunt through my stash to see if I can find something appropriate! (I welcome any ideas if you have a great thought of what I could put there!)

I used the Collall all purpose glue (the best glue in the world!) on the layers, which has made the card feel very expensive. The image was stamped onto Neenah, and the card itself is Centura Pearl Snow White.

Both the stamped sentiment & image are from the same Humphrey stamp - "Hello Snow Friend".

Thanks for reading :) please do leave me some feedback to help me improve my colouring!

Backing paper is from The Snowman cd & the stamp is "Hello Snow Friend" from Humphrey's Corner Christmas range

Spectrum Noir - my first play!

I have been completely rubbish at keeping my resolution of updating my blog more often, so being as it's nearly the end of the year, I have decided to post regularly (and keep to it this time!).
So, to start off with, I finally got my hands on some Speccies for my birthday in September, so I set about playing straight away! And will upload my first attempts on here.

My very first attempt - Snowman stamp

My second attempt with them - Humphrey stamp "1st Christmas"

My fourth attempt - Humphrey "Meeting Santa"

 

 

 

Please give your honest opinions with how I've done!
My third attempt isn't on this post, I'm going to post another one with a made up card on it, and the image on that is my third attempt.
