My Dear for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

So for my Colour Blast project I decided I'd use this little 

shadow box kit I had bought awhile ago

I thought it would make a cute little picture frame 

Don't forget to check out the Blog for more inspiration from the rest of the team and also see the latest Kit Club designs

I started off by painting everything with Colour White Gesso to give and even coat and for all the products to adhere to the timber evenly

On the inside of the shadow box I used Colour Paste Tangerine Dream and on the outside I used Stormy Weather

I then used Colour Shimmer Cubes (which I shouldn't use as we don't have them in stock I'm just lucky enough to have the whole set of these) but I'm building on my Colour Shimmer Sprays collection and don't have those colours yet 

So I used Tangerine Dream and Stormy Weather in those to paint some of the timber areas like the stand, the scroll at the top and around and inside the shadow box

I then painted the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Chipboard Stickers with the  Colour Shimmer Brush Markers - Sliver on the deers head and then Clear on the flowers underneath him and then on the frame around the photo and the arrows and hearts then a little on the all the flowers (once you start you can't stop) they just add that little extra touch

I also used the Silver on the scroll at the top of the shadow box

And added a Cocoa Vanilla Studio Flair Button inside the shadow

box

Radio for Helmar

Hey Everyone 

I was given two old radios by my dad and couldn't wait to use one the other I couldn't bring myself to use it's to old and vintage looking and I think I'd like to just clean it and have it on display 

The one I chose is on old GE which you could use with your TV and had an antenna that you used with the TV as well I didn't bother using that

I videoed the whole process so here's the linkto my YouTube video

 

So I started off by pulling the radio apart and taking the whole inside out, then pulled all the parts off - all the wires, batteries, everything off the. circuit board Wow a lot of work goes into making an electrical product

I painted the radio with some Rusty Paper paint which I was going to make it all grunge and rusted looking but after glueing the parts onto the radio I changed my mind

There was too much detail in all the little bits and I liked the look of the different textures and details they had so I kept them that way

I mainly used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive on everything as I hate waiting for things to dry and wanted to get things stuck LOL

I also added some Memory Maze Thistle Flowers for a different texture

I decided I wasn't happy with the Rust colour so I used some Aged Brass Art Alchemy Metallique Wax with a bristle brush over the whole radio and a little over some parts but not enough to cover them

Then for something different I added some Colour Blast Colour Bling Paste
