Teddybears Picnic by Lynn Good

Hi there all, sadly this is my last post for Colour Blast but I am super excited to see what the new team create and continuing to play with their wonderful products.

I have collected teddy bears and teapots for many years now, and so decided to combine the two on my last post and make a teapot for one of my teddy bears - a true teddy bear picnic!

I have used a wooden kaisercraft teapot and painted it with black gesso.

I then used a kaisercraft stencill and Colour Paste - Royalty and Lovely Lilac.  I love how these pastes are like soft butter.

Once this was dry I sprayed the pieces with Colour Shimmer Spray - Snow White and Bling.  After putting the teapot together I then decorated it with assorted flowers from my stash.

Here are some photos of different angles and close ups:

Street Art by Lynn Good

Hi there, Lynn here for the last day of the month.  I would like to share a layout I made of some street art in Melbourne.

I have used Colour Paste, in Royalty, Sunshine and Rose Petal with a texture tool to create stripes.   

Then I've added Singing  the Bules Colour Past through a stencil to give the bubble effect.

Next I used a white is a Dylusion Paint Pen to add some freehand bubbles and lines.

Art Journal - by Lynn Good

Good morning - well it is the last day of March - hard to believe that Easter is over and the year is flying by.  Today I have created an art journal page:

I started by covering the entire page with an assortment of Dylusion Paints and blending them together

I then applied a The Crafters Workshop stencil - Cosmic Swirl and Lipstick Colour Paste over the top

Once dried I used the Colour Paste - Bling and Snow White with a Finnabair Bubbles stencil randomly on the page.

I stamped and embosssed  two crazy cats and a title using Colour Embossing Powder - Dusty Charcoal.

I then coloured the cats with Shimmer Spray - Apple of my eye and Sunshine.  I applied two coats to get a shaded effect.

Canvas - by Lynn Good

Good morning, Lynn here with a canvas that I have created using Colour Blast Shimmer Sprays

I started off with a blank canvas and applied 3D Gloss Gell Medium and a stencil girl stencil to the entire canvas.  I attached many items that I could find in my stash and around the house - buttons, lace, chipboard, resin, safety pins, flowers etc.  I made the largest resin bird bath my centre piece.

I then covered everything with black gesso - twice

I then sprayed with the Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Sprays starting off with the lightest colour and the darkening the areas at the bottom and centre trying not to get anything over the bird bath.  I used Lovely Lilac, Royalty and Snow White.   I used Bling on the bird bath.  I did this a number of times until I was happy with the depth of all the colours.  I used Finnabair Mica Powder - Pale Silver to get the highlighted stripes.  Final touches with Micro Beads - Berry and Black, Glass Beads - Zinc and some glitter.

Here are some close ups:

Two Cards - by Lynn Good

My goodness March already - time is travelling so fast.  This month I have 3 posts to share with you -todays post I have made two cards

I began with water coloured paper and two different stencils, both from memory box.

I used my favourite Colour Blast paste - Snow White.

then with Colour Blast Shimmer Sprays I added colour - Rose Petal for the one on the left, Sunshine, Lipstick and Just Blue to the one on the right

I loved the background so much that I decided to put minimal embellishments onto them:

A cute die cut doilee and dress form topped with a stamp from Tim Holtz Crazy Things that I coloured and cut out.

For the other card, I cut off the edge of the paper that had no stencil but had the shimmer spray and hand wrote a Happy Birthday sentiment.  3 flowers from iamroses and a few beads and glitter.

Once dry I attached them to white card stock that I have folded as a card.

I hope that you have enjoyed these cards and the process of making them.  I will be back later in the month with an art journal page and a canvas.

Today by Lynn Good

Hi there - Lynn back again, this time with a 12x12 layout that I created.  I live in Tasmania and although it snows here alot, we have only had snow at our house twice in 10 years  (normally in winter, it is just cold and wet and the snow doesnt settle!).  I have created a layout using two photos of our backyard covered in snow

I started by creating the background - I have used 13 Arts paper - Warm Winter Night and plain blue cardstock with a strip of corrugated board.  I have used gesso on the corrugated board and while wet, sprinkled Colour Embossing Powder - Snow White  - and dried with a heat gun.

I have used a Butterfly Collage Stencil and Colour paste - Singin the blues for the big circle. 

Once dry I have randomly stamped with Inkadinkado Woodland Stamps in a clear embossing stamp and used the Embossing Powder - Snow White.  Final bit of stamping Stamp It stamps in black ink and the background is complete.

I have embossed the chipboard using Colour Embossing Powder in the same colours - Snow White and Singin the Blues.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time - Happy Crafting :)
