<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It's been a while since I shared a card with you so apologies for not being around much recently. My mind has been elsewhere over the last few weeks and haven't really felt like card making. I think we can now see a light at the end of the tunnel though!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">My card today is for the May challenge over at Spectrum Noir and the theme is use flowers - they can be part of the image on the paper, embellishments or die cuts....what could be easier? Check out the DT cards <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SpectrumNoir/timeline">here and details on how to enter</a></span><br />

I have made it for the April challenge over at Spectrum Noir where you need to use Die Cuts...what could be easier. You can use any image but just make sure you colour it with one of the Spectrum Noir colouring mediums. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So excited to hopefully see of my cards on the show today....... The Spectrum Noir design team had the opportunity to make cards using the images for the live launch show today.</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So today sees my Dad turning 80! A milestone surely, even though he doesn't seem to think so. Eight decades!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have managed to get the day off to go an visit and I am so looking forward to sharing this great day with him.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He told me that he didn't want anything for his birthday and just for me to make him a nice card....no pressure there then! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So this is what I came up with as he does love to read. I wanted a CAS card with no fuss as he says it's just another day! Gotta love him.</span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Happy Saturday!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have lots and lots of card to make today......some for a brand new launch too :)))</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I don't think I will be moving far from my craft room today!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Just wanted to share another card with you today made with a Penny Black image and coloured with the new Spectrum Aquas! Have I already mentioned that I love these pens :) They are available to buy now over at Crafters Companion <a href="http://www.crafterscompanion.co.uk/shop-by-brand-c2159/spectrum-aqua-c6970">Have a look here</a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you have some Spectrum products then it would be great to see your creations over at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SpectrumNoir">FB challenge page</a> and you could win £30 worth of goodies </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The image was stamped onto Crafters companion water colour card which is great with the pens, the colour blends out really well and doesn't leave any lines when you colour direct to the card and blend out with water like some does.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hope you are having a lovely weekend..... not much happening here other than lots of crafting :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am truly hooked on water colouring at the moment and have had the opportunity to use the Spectrum Aqua tints and the new Spectrum Aqua pens both of which I love for different reasons.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This image from Crafters Companion was coloured with the Aquatints</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 19.3199996948242px;"> Collections used Landscape, Pretty Pastels, Bright and Beautiful</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The image is stamped onto Crafters Companion water colour card with Archival ink and then the aquatints are blended with a water brush. I love the vibrancy of the colours even though they are a water based ink.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am here today to share a card for the Anything Goes challenge over on the Spectrum Noir FB page which Blogger isn't let me link up :(</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This is a Bebunni image coloured with the fantastic new Spectrum Aqua markers that were launched on Sunday at the CHA in California. I have been lucky enough to try the pens out and I really do love how easy they are to use and how easy the colours blend either on the card stock or on an acrylic block</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I haven't been well on and off since Boxing Day night with what I think is gallbladder or gall stone problems :( I have been in bed for a couple of days and an afternoon so I must be poorly as I never take to my bed. Feeling not too bad today and ventured out for a bit to pick up a few groceries.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I haven't made any new years resolutions other than going back to Slimming World last week and really want to get stuck back into that again this year. I have still lost just over 3 stone so that's pretty good for me to have maintained the loss really for most of last year but I have a long way still to go and need to get on the losing streak again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have a card to share that again is CAS.....should I try a different style...probably but I just find it so difficult so I am just going to keep doing what I enjoy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This one is for the challenge over at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SpectrumNoir?v=app_247578258730350&app_data=gaReferrerOverride%3D">Spectrum Noir </a></span><br />
