Practice Coloring Page with Spectrum Noir Markers
I started collecting Letraset ProMarkers about a year ago, and then discovered Spectrum Noir markers soon after that. I was looking for a cheaper alternative to Copics. Nevermind that I still have invested quite a bit into markers when I didn’t really need another hobby, but after finishing this coloring page I’m pretty happy I did.
This coloring book, called “Color Me Your Way”, was a birthday present from my mom this past summer. I started the page without a good knowledge of the techniques for coloring with alcohol-based markers and without enough markers to do a good job. So this has just been a giant practice page for me.
I colored here and there on Saturday evenings and sometimes Sundays, but after Christmas I had time to hang out with the kids and really spent significant time on the page. Yes, it took six months start-to-finish, but most of this was done in a week.
I sure hope I can find more time to color with my markers!
That looks really wonderful,

This just blows me away! I hope you're framing it to hang in your craft room! I love the whimsy!
I've been wanting to try alcohol markers too and can't swallow the cost of copics. Do you like the spectrum noir?
I do. It's still an investment, even when I can pay $7.50 for a 6-pack from JoAnn's with a coupon, but I think they work great. I'm looking forward to practicing more with the Spectrum Noir and don't think I'm missing much by avoiding the cost of Copics.
I think you did an awesome job! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Kelly,
LOVE these markers, wishing we had a JoAnn's up here! Your picture looks incredible, jumps right off the screen.
Your cards are lovely as standard 🙂
Think us three gals should do another blog hop? Valentine's theme?
Hugs,
Barb
That's a lovely picture you've done there, thanks for sharing.
