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)

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

Today for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone 

This was a fun little project for the Memory Maze Blog with colour but also my favourite rust and owls

Make sure you visit our Facebook page so you don't miss out on anything new

I started of with the Door Wire Stencil and some crackle paste on a mini canvas I set it aside to dry on it's own as it has ha better crackle when you do this

Once the background was dry I used some Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink in Citrus, Slipper and Spice
Dripping the colours down the canvas and adding a little water to spread the colour over the whole canvas

Then with the 2 piece vintage oval frame I painted it with some brown acrylic paint then some Rusty Paper Paint dabbing it randomly then I added some Frank Garcia Memory Hardware Artisan Powder in Trianon Patina in random spots

I cut 2 of the outer Hearts a pair so they sat in each other then used the Artist Inks again to paint them 

I painted the flowers behind the owl with the citrus as it needed some more brightness behind the owl
The owl I used Frank Garcia Memory Hardware Artisan Powder in Umber, Clay and Black and mixed in a bit of Colour Blast Colour Spray Mocha and the leaves I used the Grass Artist Ink

From the Globes set I took the little vintage timer out and painted it with Artisan Powders and then a bit of the Mocha Colour Spray and a bit of Cobalt Shimmer Dust mixed with a fair bit of water

I added a few white flowers because you can never have enough flowers LOL

Dream Big for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

This week for the Colour Blast Blog 

Don't forget to check out the rest of the blog for some Design Team inspiration and ideas

I decided to use a photo of my son posing when he was trying on his suit for his sisters wedding and just as I was taking the photo he turned his head to pose LOL

I started off with some crackle paste with a diamond stencil

Once it was dry I wanted to used a few different blues one the canvas

I dripped the Colour Artist Ink Calypso in a few spots then sprayed a little water to help it spread a bit further

I then added a bit of Colour Artist Ink Soot to darken it up a bit but then it was too dark so I watered it down a lot and it made it go a darker blue

Then I added some Colour Shimmer Dust Duke and sprayed the water and everything around it - made me remember to cover and move a few bits that I didn't want blue lol

You can see I added water to the Colour Shimmer Dust Cobalt so it would spread over the canvas

Putting the Colour Shimmer Dust Navy on then I sprayed it a little and turned the canvas in a few directions

Here are two different close ups of the colours you can see the colours

I added some metal embellishments and a few inspirational words to finish it off and that's it

Graduation for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

This weeks project is of my son's Graduation from SEDA 
He did so well, it was the best decision we made to send him there for his last two years of High School
He excelled at all that he did and put 100% into everything
His teacher even said on stage in front of the whole Year 12 classes that Jack was the best student he'd taught in the 7 years that he had worked at SEDA 
So needless to say we were very happy and proud parents

Make sure to check out the Colour Blast Blog and the Shop where you will find links to Facebook and Instagram so you won't miss out on anything that's happening

I started with some Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink Spice drips on the paper (Kaisercraft Time Machine it's embossed so it has parts that the ink won't stay on)

I used the Colour Shimmer Dust Midnight which I made into a spray bottle on the background paper as well and then sprayed some paper clay embellishments you can just see a little bit of shimmer in the photo but if you could see them they have so much shimmer

I had a little dot stencil that I used randomly with the Colour Paste Stormy Weather

I added an Art Pebble to the basketball to give it dimension

I had a Flair Button that I thought was perfect for the page so I added it to a bottle cap but it left a gap so I filled in the gap with some Zinc glass beads and added some wings

Awhile ago I had won a pack and it had the word #swag in it so I coloured it with the Colour Artist Ink Spice that was left over on some paper towel that was still wet by patting it till it was all coloured 
I added some metal accents for some interest and dimension

And I added this Make a Difference disc because that's what I think Jack will do with his life

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