Lots has been happening at Creative Hobby Supplies this year. We have oodles of new supplies in stock and I have been juggling the stock to try and make room for it all! Today I am going to share with you some of our new stock from Crafter's Companion.

Spectrum Noir Pens

Have you come across these pens yet? 

They are professional high quality alcohol pens which give fantastic results when used on stamped images.

You can visit the Spectrum Noir website for loads of tips, tutorials and techniques for using these pens - http://www.spectrumnoir.com/

Spectrum Noir pens are alcohol ink based markers which have been designed specifically for crafters, but these affordable markers are also great for beginners, students and hobby artists alike. Each pen is double-ended, with a broad chisel nib for large area fills and a fine bullet tip for detailed work.

• Achieve effortless blending and colour matching.

• Alcohol baseds ink for perfect results.

• Acid-free and non-toxic.

• Two nibs in one pen.

• Each pack colour co-ordinates perfectly.

Each pack contains six colour-themed Spectrum Noir Marker Pens in blendable shades, so from a single set of pens you will always have colours which are perfectly co-ordinated and work together. Spectrum Noir marker pens are available in 168 colour shades including a colourless blender. The colours blend seamlessly, and can be mixed or layered over each other. For stunning results use with Neenah Classic Crest Card, this is perfect for use with alcohol based pens.

These fast drying, alcohol based markers are acid-free and non-toxic, and the coloured ends of the pen allow for easy colour identification. The image colour has been reproduced as accurately as possible.

These Spectrum Noir Makers have an ergonomic hexagonal barrel which has been designed for greater comfort when colouring. Each of these markers also has a unique non-slip rubberised grip.

You must check out the Spectrum Noir website to see the amazing results that can be achieved with these pens.

Also from Crafter's Companion we have received in some lovely stamp sets. These stamps can be used with the Spectrum Noir pens to give some beautiful results.
