Paper Nest Dolls July Inspiration Post

Hello my lovelies,

Its been a busy week so I'm so pleased its the weekend!

Today i'm here to share a little inspiration for the Paper Nest Dolls blog and thought I would share one of my makes with the new Stamps which were released on Hochanda a week or two ago!

This is the super sweet Avery with lollipop and you can find the digital version here.

I coloured her up with my Spectrum Noir Colour Blend Pencils.

I used an old Trimcraft paper pad called Sweet Treats I thought it matched perfectly!

The sentiment comes with the rubber stamp set which you can purchase via Hochanda.

I hope you like it!

I used one of the adorable Cutie Pie images which comes in a set of 4 from Tiddly Inks here.

I coloured the image with my Spectrum Noir Colour Blend pencils. The papers are from Anna Marie's Peach stack.

And of course it is finished of with beautiful Petal Lu flowers in Peach, Dark Peach and White, don't they match the papers perfectly!

Spectrum Noir Colour Blend Pencils - 12 sets

Hi everyone,

Today i'm sharing some fab news .... Crafter's Companion are launching some amazing new 12 sets of colour blend and aqua blend pencils!  They will have a one day special on Hochana on 16th July and I have been lucky enough to work with them!

They have also been launched on HSN and today I am sharing a few of the samples I made for those shows and I will be back  with more including the Samples I have made for Hochanda too!

I used the Colour blend pencils and there are two selections to chose from, Bold Brights and Soft Tints

You can find the pencils on the Crafters companion website here

So here are my samples:

This is a little Wedding Hanger I made using an image by "A Day for Daisies" I stamped and coloured onto Kraft card and added a painted MDF frame.

Here I used a Whimsy image which I printed onto the new Spectrum Noir Pencil Paper from the brand new pads that have been launched to, if you would like to look at these you can find them here

I used the image to create a sweet gift bag, adding designer papers and paper flowers.

This is a little gift box I made using the Ultimate Pro, I cut the card to size, embossed it and then coloured with the pencils on the de-bossed side, I added paper flowers and ribbon to finish.

I hope you like my samples, I will be back tomorrow to share some more.
