I am Smitten with Colour

Howdy Bloggers, Lisa here or Scrapwitch, if you blog hop around the creative web. Super stoked to be sharing my first blog post as a Design Team member for Colour Blast.

So I've been playing with the Colour Blast texture paste.  Incredible colour and butter smooth texture and to top it off simply amazing shimmer.  I am smitten. 

For this piece I've kept it to my usual style and focused on the play of mixed media products, to produce a background that works with my photo.

Acrylic paint, house paint drips, random scribbles (go on, you know you want too), random journaling and this gorgeous Colour Blast 'Apple of My Eye' colour paste that I've used with a 6x6 leaves stencil. 

Unfortunately the photo just doesn't capture the shimmer of the paste.

*Promise to capture that next time

I've added a little layering with a little painted paper off cuts, cheesecloth or muslin, the odd sticker, a black matt behind my photo (always) and some fabulous swirly WOW chipboard and lettering.

The highlight is playing with new mixed media goodies, and this Colour Blast texture is great fun to create with.

                 

I am looking forward to creating more arty goodness with the whole range of Colour Blast products. As an avid Instagram user, feel free to pop over and check out the amazing shimmer on a piece I've been working on here using the gorgeous 'Bling' Colour Blast Colour Paste.

Thanks for dropping by.

SATW December Mood Board

Hi - Kaye here,

Last weekend I decided to have a play with the December mood board from Scrap Around the World. It is a challenge site I've always enjoyed even if I haven't had the time in recent months to play along. The mood board for the month was ...

When I saw the mood board I loved it and knew the exact Colour Blast pastes I was going to use. I've used "Apple of My Eye", "Sunshine", "Rose Petal" and "Bling".

I've then stamped butterflies using black Stazon.

To tone down the shimmer and intensity of the Colour Paste I sponged white Gesso over the top using some scrunched up plastic wrap. This is the great thing about the Colour Blast Colour Pastes is that they are so versatile, you can have alots of colour and shimmer or you can tone them down. I added some washi tap and a photo and came up with the end result....

The inspiration for this page was "The Future is Bright" .... I couldn't help up use this photo of my friends helping me get ready on the morning of my wedding .... the future was indeed bright.

Heres a couple close ups of the various aspects of the page.

This shows the flowers, they were plain white flowers which I have coloured using Colour Blast Paste watered down into a paint - it's a great way to use it as you retain the colour and the shimmer.

In this photo I've tried to capture the white shadow butterfly that I stamped using white ink slightly above the black butterfly, I also love the wording of the stamp above "of course you can fly for dreams have wings."

Colour Blast products are very high intensity colour and shimmer but unfortunately these photos don't do them the justice they deserve.

The following products have been used on this layout ...

• Colour Blast Pastes - Colour Blast Colour Pastes

• Darkroom Door Rubber Stamp - Wings DDS091
• IndigoBlu Rubber Stamp - Big Butterfly BB11
• Kaiser craft Decorative Die

Well thats all for now, pop back soon to see more work from the other talented ladies on our design team.

Thanks for stopping by.
