I've been busy the last few days....yes!  Colouring again using the Spectrum Noir pens.  I'm addicted to colouring at the moment which is good as I need lots of practice.   So here are the images I've been colouring in.  Next time I'll write down the numbers of pens used just in case someone reads here who's new to the alcohol pens.  I've actually ran out of my super smooth card stock, you will definitely see the difference between the first one and the rest which I'm had to compromise the card with smooth paper, and the last 2 that I used a cheaper card stock.  The ones coloured on super smooth paper, you will see some running of the inks.  The last 2 haven't bled but blending was very difficult, leaving lines between shaded colours.  I hope you enjoy my journey into colouring with my alcohol pens as I've never really taken them too seriously and taking me while to know which colour blends work best together.  
This one was coloured on the correct type of card making blending easier and no bleeding

This one was coloured using a cheaper type of card (waiting for my order to arrive of the correct paper.  No bleeding occured but was very difficult to blend the inks.

Again used cheaper card, again making it very difficult to get a good smooth flow between colours.  Hurry card and arrive lol!

This one has been coloured onto smooth paper. Due to it's thinness, I got a lot of bleeding.  I made a righ mess of the hair on this one - oops!

I really enjoyed doing this one, I had a right good old play with different colours to see how they worked together.  Sadly, coloured on smooth paper so got some bleeding.

I used smooth paer again for this image...will I never learn hahaha!

The roses originally looked better before I stupidly used the blending pen to increase the highlights.  Totally ruined it, but I am still learning!
