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  

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come 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
