Last Post for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

This is my last post for Colour Blast I've decided to step down for health reasons 

I will miss posting projects using these awesome Australian products as we don't have too many too choose from these days

I want to say a HUGE Thank You to Tenisha for choosing me to be on her team and to Kaye for all the hard work she does behind the scenes 

Also to the Design Team thank you you've all been great to work with xxxx

So for my final project, I created a Steampunk type creation using the Limited Edition Paper Range, Sienna Colour Paste, Colour Shimmer Brush Markers - Silver and Gold and lots of cogs from Memory Maze as well as some metal and a clear cabochon over one of her eyeglasses 

I used the clocks and cogs piece from the Stand Out Limited Edition Range and roughed up the edges with the scissors

I then used the strip with the brads on it from the Exception paper from the same range

And from the Glorious paper, I fussy cut out the girl the globe bug and the key

I also used the scissors to rough the edges then used the Coffee Archival ink to go around the edges of everything

I used the White Heavy Gesso on all the Memory Maze Chipboard pieces

With the cogs, I wanted a metallic look so I used Silver and Gold Colour Shimmer Brush Markers

For some added texture and colour I added scrapes of  Sienna Colour Paste

Here you can see the cabachon I added to her eyeglass

Here's a closer look at the cogs and other metal pieces I added 

I love the cogs and clocks on the piece I cut out and the Light globe I added from Memory Maze 

I loved the Globe Bugs that are on the paper but in my stash, I had small globes so I thought I would use one over the top for added dimension

Being steampunk themed they use a lot of metal and a lot of the men have moustaches so I thought it only appropriate I add one

Here I added a large metal brad that I have had for years and I stuck the key from the papers I had fussy cut out on it 

I also added a watch because they always have pocket watches and this was the closest to a pocket watch I had 

I then added an Embellish With Flair  Vintage Map Flair as it fitted so well with everything

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

Amazing for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

My turn on the Memory Maze Blog

Remember to check out the rest of the Design Teams work for some inspiration

And ask your local or online store to order in the Memory Maze products you see that you really MUST have - they have new stock all the time so make sure you check out the site yourself 

This photo is just is just beautiful and speaks volumes 

This is my cousin's husband - Kadex

He's Balinese and as you can see a very calm person they look like they really have a connection

I kept the page simple because the photo says it all

I used clear gesso on the paper first to prep it for any mixed media products I may use on it

I used the Flower Stencil with some 3D Matte Gel on the background paper just for some dimension

Then with all the chipboard  Hearts a pair and Moments Like These I used some Colour Blast Colour Embossing Powder in Sienna - I picked up the colour on the Elephants trunk

I used some Finnabair Mechanicals they look like lotus flowers

Beautiful Moment for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

This picture is of my daughter Natalii and her Godmother Kathy at her wedding it's such a beautiful photo of the two of them 

I made this as a gift for Kathy that's the reason for the colour 

She has copper in her kitchen and family room area and I love the colour so that helps

Make sure you visit the Colour Blast Blog and check out the creativity of the other Design Team members 

You can also type in one of the products you're interested in and all the projects that have used that product will come up so you will have lots of ideas to look at 

Colour Blast have Sienna in a few of their products including - Colour Paste, Colour Embossing Powder, Colour Shimmer Spray and the Colour Shimmer Cubes when they were available (hopefully they will be back again one day soon)

I happen to have the Sienna Colour Shimmer Cube

So I made it into a spray in my little water bottle and sprayed the frame randomly until I was happy with the effect and the amount of colour on it

I love how it's gone into the grooves of the frame and how much of a shimmer it has 

You will get the same shimmer with the Sienna Colour Shimmer Spray (I just don't have that yet) 

I used one of the new stencils with the Sienna Colour Paste in the top corner just for a bit of texture (and I really love how shimmery it is)

Then on a paper clay key hole I added some Sienna Colour Embossing Powder 

The powder didn't really like the clay, so it didn't come out as smooth as it normally does but I still like the texture and love the colour

I  painted on some embossing ink on to the top of the flowers with a brush and then dipped them in the Sienna Colour Embossing Powder

To give some added texture and interest to the flowers instead of just plain white ones

Well that's it from me I hope you liked this project and love the Sienna like I do 

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