Hi there, well what a wonderful time I have had with the Crafter's Companion team in Doncaster this weekend. I met so many wonderful crafters and their families that I feel quite privileged to say the very least. I also got to play all weekend with something rather fabulous ..........
SPECTRUM NOIR
What are these you may ask ....... well let me tell you now because after next weekend they are going to be appearing all over the place on blogs and in the craft world.
These little beauties are a brand new alcohol ink pen that Crafter's Companion will be releasing this Friday on their website.
I have been blown away by them so far. I have always used Copics having never really got on with Promarkers. I know we all have our favourites but every single person who tried these this weekend absolutely loved them - so much so that we were taking pre-orders for complete sets all weekend!!
Ok so what are the basics .....
well they have 2 nibs - a chisel and a precision bullet nib. Let me tell you this - the bullet nib is not rock hard but feels just lovely across the paper and lays colour down like you wouldn't believe.
They come in sets of 6 for just 6.99 a set!!!!!!
You can buy 4 sets for only 25 pounds .... that is for 24 pens!!!!!
There are 168 colours available.
You can replace the nibs.
Here is the bit the everyone loved ...... they are refillable!!!!!!
Yes, a pen for this price that you can refill - now there is something I haven't seen anywhere else at all!!!!
The quality is just superb. They blend perfectly and look so stylish.
I will be telling you more about them this week as I use them more but make sure you keep an eye out on the Crafter's Companion website and also their news blog.
I am more than happy to answer any questions you might have about them ...... I promise you will love them!!!!

Hi Marcea
It was so lovely to meet you yesterday at Doncaster and have a natter. I love how enthusiastic you are about crafting and I'm sure you will be a great asset to the Crafters Companion Team.
You are sooo lucky to have the set of Spectrum Noir pens, I'm so excited about them and can't wait for mine to arrive. I have even planned where they are going in the caravan when we go on holiday next month!!! My hubby thinks I'm mad lol but they are such a fantastic product and a brilliant price they will become a best seller.
Have fun

Saw these demo'd by one of your teamies the other day and they look fab!! And at that price, I'll definitely be giving them a go. I'm hoping I'll be better at shading with these than I am with promarkers. Can't wait til Friday!! Hugs, Marie xxx
