"Happy Days" layout + process video by Sue Plumb

Hi everyone!

Sue Plumb here to share my latest design team project with you. Today I have a mixed media scrapbook layout that I created using Colour Artist Inks; Colour Paste; and a Colour Shimmer Brush Marker.

To create my page, I applied drops of Colour Artist Inks in Oasis, Calypso, Mermaid and Marine directly to my messy mat using the dropper. I then placed my cardstock on top to soak up the ink. I also added some splatters using a small brush.

Once I had the ink down on the background, I used 'Singin' the Blues' Colour Paste through a stencil in a few areas to add some subtle texture.

Next, I added some papery layers behind my photo. I used up some old Echo Park papers from my stash, along with some frayed gauze for texture. I also used some of the coordinating Echo Park stickers, and some puffy stickers from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.

Alongside my photo I added a Charms Creations heart embellishment, topped with a Cocoa Vanilla Studio flair button. I also added a couple of Cocoa Vanilla resin hearts to my page.

For my title, I used a Kinder Kreations wood veneer, which I coloured by painting it with 'Marine' Colour Artist Ink.

I used a fine tipped white paint pen to add some details to the title, before adding some shimmer with a Clear Colour Shimmer Brush Marker.

To finish off my page I added some final splatters using 'Marine' Colour Artist Ink and a small, stiff brush.

If you would like to see exactly how I put this page together, you can watch my process video on the Colour Blast YouTube channel here:

Until next time, happy scrapping!

Hello Everyone! I'm so excited to be sharing with you for the first time here at the Colour Blast blog!

I thought I would go with the traditional scrapbooking layout for my first time here and show you a combination of layering & colouring techniques...

Here is the full layout:

Firstly I have used a combination of Colour Artist Ink Mermaid & Marine using a couple of drops on the page with a couple of squirts of water spray - using a crumpled piece of baking paper I have created the first layer scrunching it over the top of the whole piece of thick white cardstock. 

Using a spatula I have then smeared Deep Water Colour Paste through part of the Stencil Girl Stencil & let it dry naturally.

While waiting for that to dry I have also coloured a piece of Muslin using the Marine Colour Artist Ink & a few sprays of water...

I have positioned and layered my photo & embellishments in the desired position on my layout, starting with layering the coloured Muslin at the bottom.

I added a bit of Glitter to my title, by using the fabulous Clear Shimmer Brush Marker {I LOVE this so much!} & I can see endless possibilities using this brush! I also added Shimmer around the edges of my layout once finished the page too.

I love the shiny, sparkly effects that has been created on my layout using the awesome Colour Blast Paste & Shimmer Marker!

Thanks for checking out my first post & hope you have enjoyed it! Looking forward to sharing more of my creations with you!

Hello CB fans!!! Farrel here to share you my recent layout using the ever so yummy Colour Blast Pastes, Colour Sprays and Embossing Powder.

I just can't seem to stay away from these colours and they matched our summer holiday photos perfectly!!! So let me show you the process in creating this fun and super quick layout.

I started off by lightly coating my white cardstock with gel medium. Once it was dry, I then cut a piece of plastic packaging I had left over from some flowers and mixed some Lush Colour Shimmer Dust and water into a mister bottle and sprayed onto the plastic.

I then placed the plastic onto my layout to create a watercolour pattern.

I gave it a quick heat dry and then used the same technique with Sapphire  Colour Spray and Saffron  Colour Spray. Making sure I dried in between colours.

I then spread some Deep Water  Colour Paste through a stencil randomly over my layout.

Next I decided to use the negatives of some chipboard and applied a light coat of White Heavy Gesso and then applied Sunshine  Colour Embossing Powder. 

Here are some close ups of the Colour Embossing Powder and Colour Paste.

Hopefully this inspired you to create with your happy colours!!!

Thanks for dropping by 

Until next time - Happy Scrappin xx
