over spring break i received a big box from spectrum noir full of markers - so i've spent a bit of time over the past few weeks learning how to color stamped images properly. even sought out some advice from a professional artist friend & watched parts of the dvd spectrum noir included in my box of markers which was very helpful.

i decided to work with an image that would provide space to practice blending - so i pulled out this stamp from taylored expressions. a few stamped & colored images later here's my heart hauling blue truck.

and for those of you not on instagram - here's what my color chart looks like.

I love the little blue truck. It encourages me to get out my Spectrum markers and make a little red truck like my brother has.

WOW! Great job, Courtney! Your truck is amazing and I love the shade of blue you chose! I'm so used to seeing your paper-pieced images (which I love), but your colored image is fabulous too!
