Cakelicous: June 2012

Welcome to the very first Spectrum Noir Blog Hop! This week our entire design team has come together to start off summer with a grand celebration of Yellow - the color of summer! If you have landed here from Taylors blog, you are hopping in the right direction. If not, pop over to the Spectrum Noir Blog so you do not miss a single stop!

This is my card using a little bird house digi from Stamps

I used the dotty tutorial, which can be found further up on my blog,

Colours for the project are:

Bird house Roof - TN1 TN2 TN3 - Bird house - BG1 BG2 BG3
Birds - CT2 CT3 CT4

My tip is just buy plain white pearls and you can colour them with your Spectrum Noirs to match in with any card you do :) Fantastic - Enjoy the rest of the Hop

We are excited to announce that our new Spectrum Noir website and blog is up and running. If you have not had a chance to check out all of the great tutorials, tips, suggestions and samples our design team has posted, today is a great day to take a peek. Before we get to the rest of the blog hop, how about we add a bit more excitement? Spectrum Noir is going to award one lucky winner with a full set of 72 Basic Spectrum Noir Pens! Yes, that's right...all twelve sets of six pens each.

Entering to win is easy. Leave a comment on the Spectrum Noir Blog Hop Post telling us one fun new thing (tip, trick, interesting combination of colors, etc) you learned about the Spectrum Noir markers while hopping with us this week. A random winner will be drawn using random.org and posted on our blog at 9:00 AM GMT, Saturday, June 23, 2012 so be sure to check back with us to see if you have won! The lucky winner will have one week to claim their prize or a second winner will be chosen. How about a bonus chance to win? If you add our blinkie to your blog and mention in your comment that you've done so, you will be entered into a second contest to win a £25 $25.00 gift certificate to be used on any Spectrum Noir product at Crafter's Companion (the US or UK site).
