Trinket Box for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

My project for the Colour Blast Blog is a little Trinket Tin, good to keep earrings or jewellery in when you take it off at the end of the night

All the products I used you can find here as well as a list of suppliers on the Colour Blast Website 

I used 1 layer of the Colour Blast Heavy White Gesso with a sponge - I like the texture it gives 

Sometimes I like use a brush for a different texture depending on what I'm doing over the top of it

I love this Colour Paste Bling it's so bright and shiny and looks great through this stencil

Colour Artist Inks Lollipop (I had an oops the other day and didn't close the lid properly so luckily I always have muslin on hand to mop any spills LOL) It was perfect for the pop of colour this project needed

Colour Shimmer Dust Peacock I added a bit of the powder to my board then added as much water as I wanted the colour to be - darker or lighter

I thought would go well with the Colour Lollipop Artist Ink and the Colour Paste Bling for the face

Dorland's Wax Medium I used over the top of the face to add something extra it gives it a sheen different to the shine that the shimmer dust does

Colour Artist Inks Peacock I used to paint the tin - the plain white gesso looked a bit boring but unfortunately we lost the shimmer of the Colour Paste Bling

Graffiti Grunge Collection Linked in Die I cut it out in acetate so it's a bit hard to see (I did have to put it through the die a few times)

Thank you for visiting and I hope you come back soon x

Eyes of an Owl for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

My turn on the Colour Blast Blog

Make sure you check out the rest of the blog to see what the Design Team have been up too 

And check out the links on the side of the blog for the links to all our Social Media Links

I have an obsession with Owls there's something magical about them

This ones eyes have such depth 

I used Colour Artist Ink Rust with a touch of water

I used paper from the Limited Edition Collection - Imperfect oh my this range is awesome so steampunk but light enough that you can add more depth and texture too it

I used the Peony Dreams Stamp from the Spread your Wings Collection randomly over the paper

After stamping I dripped some of the rust down the page

Adding some water sprays along the way to help it spread

And using the Heat gun to move it around

I also spray some Colour Spray - Mocha on the background for more depth

I decided I wanted to use the Graffiti Grunge Collection - Linked in Die but I didn't want to use another paper so I cut out the middle of the paper I was using and ran it through my Die Cutting machine twice as the paper is quite thick

Colour Blast also have small stencils that aren't on the website (contact them they usually have them at craft shows) I used 3D gel with the grass looking one on the stencil 3 times 

I know Colour Blast know longer have the Colour Shimmer Cubes (you can still find them at some online stores) but the colours are perfect for what I needed 

The resin owl was from a kit I bought from Art and Soul Studio (it was one of their monthly kits and because it had an owl I had to have it)

I started of by spraying him with Mocha Colour Spray then added Leather, Sienna and Bling Shimmer cubes to him 

His beak I added some Snow White and his eyes are done with Dusty Charcoal

I used a white sharpie to add the whites to his eyes

The frame and tags are from the Limited Edition Collection - Glorious I just layered them and added the Linked in Die that I cut up and added some Rust too

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come back soon x
