Poison or Potion for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

On the Colour Blast Blog today I'm sharing a bottle - is it a poison or a passion potion in it LOL

For some reason I have so many bottles and no I don't drink alcohol   hahaha

We are also on Instagram so make sure to check out our page and follow us on there

So I used some Colour Blast products to decorate the bottle with 

I wanted to coat the bottle with just the Colour Artist Ink Soot but each time I put a bit in it wouldn't stay

So I tried to add some Colour Shimmer Dust Midnight with some water and then swirling it and trying to dry into place but that didn't look how I wanted it either  

So out came the black gesso it was nearly empty so I added water to the container and got as much of the black out as I could so between the three products I managed to fill the bottle and lid not as shimmery as I wanted but in certain light you can see the sparkle

Then I used one of the Colour Blast Linked in Metal Die using book paper

Then using the Colour Embossing Powder Deep Water I embossed some paper clay pieces and then stamped a little stamp heart I had onto the lid and then three times onto the spoon

I tied the spoon with some twine to make it look like that's what you will drink the potion with

Here you can see the beautiful colour of the Deep Water Embossing Powder

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

Grateful Heart for Colour Blast

Happy New Year Everyone

I hope you're having a fun but safe New Years Eve

On today's BLOG for Colour Blast I created a canvas with lots of paper clay pieces stuck on 

I started off by painting the canvas with Heavy White Gesso

Then used some Helmar Premium Craft Glue to adhere all the paper clay pieces on (like a jigsaw) 
I then filled in some gaps with Art Stones and finished it off with another coat of Heavy White Gesso

Then I decided to make it colourful and I used the Colour Shimmer Dusts in - Paris, Peacock, Amber, Sunflower, Duke and Candy 
Flicking a little bit of dust before spraying water with each colour (trying not to make mud by getting the colours too mixed up)

Then I felt it needed some more shimmer so I mixed the Dorlands Wax with the Colour Embossing Powder -  Bling and used a  spatula knife to spread it around the canvas and into the little gaps 
I covered the heart all over as that's what stands out the most and I based my quote on

Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a very happy 2019 xx

I am me for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

This project for Colour Blast was made for a new friend for a reminder of where she has come from and where she has been in her life 

Make sure you visit the Colour Blast Blog and discover what fabulous creations have been made over there lately 

So I started of by painting everything with the Colour Blast White Gesso to give everything a nice even surface to work on

I then mixed in some Colour Mica Powder Espresso with some clear gesso too make a nice shimmery colour for the frame and some of the embellishments 

It's a shame the camera doesn't pick up the shimmer

Tip - Make sure to put the powder in first that way you won't get the dust floating up as you mix it together

Then on a few of my embellishments that I used the Colour Mica powder mix on I added Colour Embossing Powders - Bling and Sienna just a little sprinkle on them for some contrast

On the Memory Maze Ladies form with decorative wings I added the Bling so it would stand out and then used some Colour Artist Ink in Slipper which I also added to a few of the other embellishments to brighten up the piece

On the background of the frame I glued some material using the Helmar Super-Tac Glue it's a good strong glue and keeps things in place for ever 

I then too some Colour Artist Inks in Soot and Rust and added them to the background spraying water as I went until I was happy with the colours

Then the fun begins arranging everything I placed a sheer piece of fabric in the back under all the flowers to soften things 

I thought I'd use yellow flowers as it's such a happy colour and the quote is quite heavy and deep and then the little pink paper clay embellishments scattered I think add a bit of fun 

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

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
