I had a little time before work last night so I decided to have a little play with my SPECTRUM NOIR pens. These are the cards I made.
The first one is an experiment - my first image coloured solely with Greys. Love how they blended. The image is a background stamp from WALTZINGMOUSE STAMPS with the red flower stamped inbetween the pattern. The pearls were ivory but I coloured them with Cool Grey 8 so they matched the image.

My second card started off as a single layer card but I felt the card needed "something" so matted onto black card and loved the result. I am soooo chuffed with the shading on the little bear - all thanks to the lovely juicy pens :) and the tourquoise set are fabulous. I hand drew the thin border around the edge to add a little interest

Wow Jane - I can't half tell the difference in your colouring with these new pens. These are super xx
What a fabulous card. I love the colouring on the bear especially!! (And yes I've noted down your colours! Lol.) Can I ask what you've used your white highlight please? I have been looking online for a UK stockist of a Sharpies but had no luck.
Hugs. Karen.xx
Karen - edited to add details of pen used for highlights
