Trust for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

My project was a gift for a friends birthday and this quote is perfect for her

I didn't want to do to much to the frame so I kept it simple and let the photo stand out

I used Colour Mica Powder Espresso with water over the frame 

Then went outside and sprayed a good coat of the Helmar Crystal Kote Fixative It's fantastic to stop the Colour Mica Powders from coming off without having to use it with another type of medium and this way you don't loose the gorgeous shimmer

On the background of the frame it had a fabulous texture so I used Some Colour Paste Blush just with a palette knife 
I didn't want it too thick so you can still see the texture
The Colour Paste Blush is so pretty

I had this flower in my stash (well I have lots of them) and it went perfect with everything 

I wanted to put it on the corner of the frame so I added a couple of piece of cardboard to the back of it

As you can see it needed the two pieces for the height

Then I ran some pearls through some glue to lay over the frame

I had some plain white leaves and wanted to add a bit of sparkle to it so I used some embossing liquid on the edges of the leaf then dipped it into the Colour Embossing Powder Snow White then heated it with my heat gun till it melted 

I had lots of sparkle everywhere but my leaf looked so pretty and added the pop of sparkle it needed on the frame

Here you can see the difference between the leaves

Well I hope you enjoyed my project

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

Pink Clouds for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

This is my first post for Colour Blast and I had so much fun playing with the products

I started with a small canvas that I had prepared with White Heavy Gesso  and I also used it on my chipboard

Then I used some Colour Paste in Fire Engine

I spread it across the canvas with a spatular making it look random thicker in some parts and making sure to do the edges of the canvas

While this was drying I used some

Colour Shimmer Dust Sunflower and Amber on a Memory Maze chipboard Flourish and mini Dream Catcher 

I mixed a little of the two together to try and get the orange colour to match the sky line

In the end I didn't use the Dream Catcher so that will be used another time 

I used Colour Paste Blush through a stencil and the left over mix of  the Colour Shimmer Dusts I let dribble over the canvas once the stencilled areas had dried 

So I wanted to add a touch of blue as there is a little bit in the sky 

I used the Colour Mica Powder Polar on a doily by stamping with the versa mark ink then brushing over the top with the Polar - the versa mark helps it stay as it has a glue like effect

The stamp is from Memory Maze

I also used the Polar  Colour Mica Powder on a paper clay flower and a metal embellishment which I also added versa mark too 

I added a coat of Helmar Crystal Kote Fixative which helps the Colour Mica Powders from coming off your projects when you don't add them to a binder like Gesso or gel medium type products

Here you can see I added some small glass beads, I love using those or micro beads just for added texture and dimension 

Here are close up's of the metal and the paper clay flower I used the Polar Colour Mica Powder on, it's so pretty and shimmery

I also added some Bling Colour Paste to the edges of the white flowers for some bling (this is one of my favourite paste colours of all I use it on everything) 

I used some Flutterby Design White tiny sticky quotes I use these a lot too, these ones seemed perfect for the photo I used 

I like to try and find inspirational words to add to my projects 

These two photos show the dimension that the paste gives through the stencil and also the layers I have on my canvas

Well that's it from me I hope you enjoyed my project as much as I did making it 

Thank you and I hope you will come back again xx
