Lobster Card | Spectrum Noir | Colorista

I've got my colouring mojo back again, I'm pleased to say!
                 
I didn't realise how long it had been since I did some colouring!  
                     
I just love the Colorista Marker Pads from Crafter's Companion.  They are fun, great quality, and in 2 different sizes, versatile too!

This card was to easy to make! Just trim the coloured panel into 4 evenly sized strips, glue to an 8x8 card blank, and stamp a sentiment!
