Fruits in Season Tutorial for Spectrum Noir.

Hello to everyone.  The year is well and truly on the turn.  Its strange how the time of year and perhaps the length of the days influences your colour choices.  I have a tutorial to share for Spectrum Noir featuring Apples in Season.  This is a beautiful digital stamp from Power Poppy which I previously colored on kraft card. 

Details for this card and the Spectrum Noir ColourBlend pencils used are included in the tutorial.  I hope you can find time to visit.

I had entered my kraft card colouring into the Power Poppy Coloring Competition on PPC.  I am delighted to report that the card won!  So very excited and will be sharing colourings of more of these wonderful images very soon.

Happy crafting fun to all.
