You and Me, coloring tutorial for Spectrum Noir.

Hello to everyone.  I hope this finds you well.

I would like to share my colouring tutorial for Spectrum Noir.   

This month I have coloured the sweet Lili of the Valley stamp 'You and Me'.  I have  again used the new Spectrum Aqua markers with the focus on the use of the fine nib, to create dimension and detail.  I am really enjoying expoloring the use of these fabulous markers.

Details of Spectrum Noir products used to colour this image are in the tutorial, which you will find here. I so enjoyed colouring this cute image and hope you will find time to visit and view.  This card is a very CAS creation for me, as I have made it for my husbands birthday.  Fortunately he loved it.

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Crafty Calender Challenge - Anything Goes
Lil patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes
Quirky Crafts Challenge - Our Best Friends
Penny Black and more - Anything Goes except a digi

  Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post and look at my card.
