Spectrum Noir Christmas in July Hop

A few members of the Spectrum Noir team have gotten together to celebrate Christmas in July!  We have an inspiration-filled blog hop today, along with a few great prizes!  If you have arrived here from  Marcea Watkins blog, you are in the right place.  If not, pop over to the Spectrum Noir blog so you don't miss a thing!

For my Christmas in July project I used this adorable "Trim the Tree Kiddo's" which was unveiled this past week at CHA!  I love this image because it has nice open spaces which are perfect for coloring with my Spectrum Noir markers!

Colors I used:

Reds: CR11-CR9-CR7

Tree Greens: DG4-DG2-DG1

Kiddo Greens: JG1-JG2-JG3

Gold: GB1-GB4-GB8

Grey: IG1-IG2

White: BT1 (outline whiteareas with light blue to give it dimension)

Cream (on the bag) EB1-EB2

We hope you've been checking out the Spectrum Noir blog - it is full of great tutorials, techniques, and other projects from our design team.  If you haven't been over there, go take a look!  Before we get to the rest of the hop today, let's have a little fun.  How about a prize?  Spectrum Noir is going to award one lucky winner two sets of six markers, a pack of Crafter's Companion Ultra Smooth Premium White card stock (perfect for coloring!), and an adorable stamped called All Wrapped Up, from the new Mulberry Wood line.

Entering to win is easy.  Leave a comment on the Spectrum Noir Blog Hop Post telling us your favorite Spectrum Noir color combination you saw while hopping with us this week (please comment no later then Friday, July 27 at 6:00 PM GMT).  A random winner will be drawn using random.org and posted on our blog at 9:00 AM GMT, Saturday, July 28, 2012, so be sure to check back with us to see if you have won!  The lucky winner will have one week to claim their prize or a second winner will be chosen. 

Now, hop on over to the next amazing blog and check out what  Suzanne Foard has to share!
