Using Colouring Pages | CARDS

You may recall this Set of Planner Dividers I shared 6 weeks ago

Well this week I finally got round to using the other half of each colouring page, to make these greeting cards!
                            

                 

You can find all the Spectrum Noir colour combos used HERE, otherwise that only leaves the cards to show you, my creative friends!

PLANNER DIVIDERS | FILOFAX | COLORISTA | SPECTRUM NOIR

I am an avid planner and rely particularly on my main filofax to keep me organised!

Here are my new dividers for my A5 "The Original" Filofax, labelled  to suit how I use my planner in daily life!
                            

 

               

I coloured these over many evenings, taking my time and enjoying the process. Each coloured page is A4 so I chopped them all in half leaving me with 7 gorgeous cards to make at a later date!

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!

Oh Deer! | Spectrum Noir | Colorista

Ever forget a dear friends birthday?
               
I know I do! So I spent severl hours lovingly colouring this beautiful deer image from the "Enchanted Forest" Colorist Pad, using my Spectrum Noir Markers!
                            

               

I'm always rubbish and remembering birthdays, but I hope this card, with funny sentiment rendered me forgiven.
