Little Moments with Melinda Sweetman

Hey there Colour Blasters, Melinda here with you!

Today I'm sharing a page I created using 4 colours and only 2 product types! I had lots of fun putting this together and am happy with how it came out!

First up I chose my colours to go with the ephemera/stickers etc I had picked for this page


Colour Pastes (from top to bottom)
Colour Shimmer Sprays (from left to right)

Seriously, if you haven't yet seen the new Sienna, you MUST get some, it is stunning!!

Next up I grabbed a 12x12 stencil and randomly sprayed my 4 mists all over the stencil.


Before I lifted the stencil off I grabbed a second sheet of white cardstock and pressed that down onto the top of the stencil to get the negative to use on another page - great way to save mist and to get a head start on another background!

Next up, after that was thoroughly dried, I grabbed a stencil, my palette knife and my Colour Pastes and applied the stencil over the top of the coloured background. I applied the Sienna over the Sienna Shimmer Spray, the Blush over the Blush Shimmer Spray and so on....


Look at that pretty shimmer from the spray, swoon!!

Next up I decided I needed some splatters, so again, with each colour on top of the same colour, I used the nozzle of the bottle and applied lots of mist splatters.


I set this aside to air dry and when it was all done I grabbed my photo and embellishments and stuck it all down.


Oh, how I love you Apple of My Eye!!



I so totally love the way this page together and love my subject matter, because, sometimes a donut and coffee is really the only answer ;)


Just a side note, if you have been watching new collections come out then you will  notice there is alot of copper metallics coming out/already available and honestly, Sienna is a PERFECT match!!

If you would like to see my process come together it is available on the Colour Blast YT channel or you can simply click "play" below and it will play right here, in your browser!!



Thank you, as always, for stopping by. I do love playing with the gorgeous Colour Blast goodies and sharing and also seeing what you create from our DT shares!! Have a fantastic, scrappy day!
