Hi everyone. I hope everyone is doing well. 
I'm back to share another layout.

To begin my layout I used Heavy White Gesso spreading it though a stencil.

Using Walnut  Colour Artist Ink I put some on my craft mat. Then using scrunched up plastic I transferred the ink onto my page.

I repeated this process using Grass  Colour Artist Ink.

Using Marine  Colour Artist Ink I splattered it over the inked area. A little hard to see as it's quite subtle.

I forgot to take a photo but at this point i splattered some water onto the ink to give water splotches.

I embossed over some metal elements using Leather Colour Embossing Powder.

I also embossed some more metals using Envy Colour Embossing Powder.

I also embossed with Leather onto some corrugated board.

I embossed my title with Stormy Weather Colour Embossing Powder.

I embossed my chipboard with Leather but before it set I quickly sprinkled Envy onto it & then heat set.

I sprayed some cheesecloth with Coffee Colour Spray then dried it with a heat gun.

Then the same spraying with Rainforest Colour Spray.

Using my finger I dabbed Stormy Weather Colour Paste on some chipboard.

Using my finger I ran Heavy White Gesso around my photo.

I put all my elements together & glued everything down. I added some art stones then when the glue was dry I dripped some Walnut  Colour Artist Ink over the stones.

And then I was done.

Here's a few close ups.

Thanks for looking.

So Handsome by Kristy Abela

Hi Everyone

I am back on the blog today after a whirlwind trip to Phoenix Arizona for Creativation!! 

What an experience that was... 

I am fresh fill of ideas and inspiration for you all in 2019.. 

 

This was my youngest at his Y6 Farewell.. last in the nest and growing waaayyy to quickly!

  For this one I wanted to create a grungy look considering he was wearing pink... I was challenged recently by another DT member to try this one out so here we go - Challenge accepted!

I started by spilling some Colour Artist Ink in Slipper on the page and drying it while it pooled to create the layers of rings around the edge. I then grabbed some stamps and created a frame for where the photo will sit.

I had made some misters earlier for my Colour Shimmer Dust so had some on the go at any time..

I used velvet for this one and used the spray to colour my Chipboard from Dusty Attic. Once finished I used my Colour Blast Gesso White to dry brush over the top to add a weathered look to the harlequin discs. Once done with that I Embossed my title in Stormy Weather with Colour Embossing Powder.

 Here is a close up of the effect I created.

To finish off I added some string with brads and some textured paper to build up the background. Then I dusted on some microbeads... and voila... Too easy!

Thanks for looking! Make sure if you try out these techniques to pop your project onto our Facebook Colour Blast Creative Corner.

Chill by Michelle Henderson

Hi everyone,  I'm back with a new layout for you 

I was cleaning out the other day and came across my banding wheel from when I taught ceramics,  and thought "I wonder...."

I bluetacked my card to the wheel,  and got out my Colour Artist Inks in Mermaid and Oasis. I mixed them until I had the colour I wanted. 

I used a fan brush, and starting at the centre swirled out until I had a rough circle.

I changed to a smaller brush, and painted some rings in Soot.

I knew I wanted some gold highlights,  so I added some glue and gold flakes randomly. 

After that I used some Colour Paste in Bling and swirled it on too.

Once that was all dry, I splattered some white and black acrylic paint, concentrating it where my photo cluster was going. I also used the gold Colour Shimmer Brush Marker for spatters. 

At this stage I still wasn't happy with it,  so went back the Colour Artist Ink in Marine and painted to the edges. When it was dry I spattered some water over it. 

Next I sewed a gold thread circle and border, before I distressed the edges. I added a cut file and my photo cluster. 

 Here are the some close ups and the layout again for you💙

See you next time!
