Beautiful Roses Layout by Farrel Tailor

Hey there Colour Blast Fans!!

I was very lucky this month to be a guest designer over on the Kraft Plus Blog Challenge and I thought I would share with you all the layout I created using some very yummy Colour Blast products.

So the challenge was to use Roses 3 ways. I wanted to create a layout using a photo of my Nana and I, it was recently 3 years since she passed so I wanted to create something special and she loved roses. 

So let me step you through how I created this layout.

I started off by using Rose Petal Colour Paste throwback ugh a rose stencil. I used the stencil twice and used my heat gun to dry.

Next I painted my rose chipboard with White Heavy Gesso and set a side to dry. I used a pink chalk ink pad to give my rose some colour.

I then used a baby wipe to rub some White Heavy Gesso over my patterned paper and also used my finger to lightly rub over the rose stencil. 

I love this colour!! I splattered some Colour Shimmer Spray Punch onto my layout and also painted some onto the the torn kraft paper.

I then sprayed Colour Shimmer Sprays Singin The Blues, Deep Water and Punch onto some cheese cloth making sure I dried between each colour.

I put all that aside and decided that the layout needed another colour. So I painted some chipboard with White Heavy Gesso and once dried I painted 2 coats of Colour Shimmer Cubes Sienna. (This colour is stunning!!)

Once I adhered all my chipboard, flowers, cheese cloth and photo to my layout I decided one of my flowers needed some colour. So I sprayed the flower with water first and using a paint brush I lightly added some Colour Shimmer Spray Singin the Blues and Deep Water. Once it was dry I then gave a quick spray with Colour Shimmer Spray Punch.

Then to finish off the page I added some lines using a paint pen and added some stamping. Here are some close ups of the layout.

Thanks for dropping by and hopefully I have inspired you to create something special.

Happy Creating!!!

Always Remember Who You Are by Ree Peace

 Hi everyone!

I have a bit of a messy background for you all this time.

Starting with Kraft paper, I stamped up a treat with Stazon and this super cute stamp.

Next a few random placements of Fire Engine Colour Paste over parts of my stamping through a stencil.

Adding to the layers, I created lines with White Heavy Gesso using the edge of a store card.

Some splatters of two Colour Sprays, Love and Roadbase pulled the background together.

While the last of it was drying naturally I prepped and coated some hexagon chippy with

 Stormy Weather Colour Embossing Powder.

With some careful placement and some additions of washi tape, cotton and some letter stickers, my page came together beautifully!

I hope you have enjoyed this post, be sure to leave a comment or question and I will be checking to reply very soon!

Perfection by Farrel Tailor

Hello Everyone!! It's Farrel here and today I wanted to share with you all I layout I created of my youngest son and I. And yes I have used flowers!! 

So sit back and relax and hopefully I can inspire you with this mixed media layout. And as always there is a process video at the end.

To start with I coated my white cardstock with gel medium. 

I then dusted  Lollipop  Colour Shimmer Dust over the page randomly and sprayed with some water. 

While I was drying I used a baby wipe to mop of some the excess Colour Shimmer Dust and used it to re-stamp in other places on cardstock. 

I also used the heat gun to push the Colour Shimmer Dust around the page, this gives a different affect.

I added some splatters using Colour Shimmer Spray in Rose Petal. 

I then used a stencil and Bling Colour  Paste to add texture onto the layout.

I added some Colour Spray Bubblegum and Colour Shimmer Sprays Fire Engine and Rose Petal to the flowers. Even though they were already pink, I wanted to add more dimension to them. I did this just by using the tip of the sprays and painted the colour on.

And while the flowers were still wet I added a small amount of glue and dipped them into some gold glitter.

Here are some close ups of the layout.

Christmas With Colour Blast - 2 cards and 1 tag by Farrel Tailor

Hi Colour Blast Fans!! 

Farrel here to share with you 2 Christmas cards and a tag I created this week.

I was laying in bed thinking about what I could do for this blog and then I thought....Why not try stamping with Colour Blast Pastes???? So I got straight to it and I have to say it turned out really well.

So this is how it turned out...

I started by painting Bling Colour Paste onto my stamp using a paint brush and a small amount of water. 

I then embossed the font of the stamp using Singin the Blues Colour Embossing Powder. I then inked the edges of the cardstock with versamark and embossed with Colour Embossing Powder in Lovely Lilac.

Once the Colour Paste was dry, I then used a paint brush to add  Lipstick, Envy and Singin the Blues Colour Pastes. 

This is the second card I made using Colour Shimmer Dusts and Colour Paste.

I started off by mixing Colour Shimmer Dusts in Candy and Lush with water and applying to the card. I also added some splatters.

I thought the damask stencil I used looked like a Christmas Tree so I applied Envy Colour Paste to the area I wanted.

While the paste was still wet I sprinkled Bling embossing powder before removing the stencil and heat dried it.

I then went around the stenciled area with a black gel pen and embossed the "Merry Christmas" with Leather Colour Embossing Powder.

Last of all is a little tag I made to go onto a bag for under the Christmas Tree.

This is very quick and easy and quite effective.

I coated the tag using Steel Colour Paste and a baby wipe, I made sure that the layer was just thick enough for the stamp to go through.

I then stamped my Christmas Tree stamp 

And finished off by rubbing into the stamped tree Just Blue Colour Shimmer Spray.

Be sure to check out the process video below.

Happy Scrappin xx

Love Every Minute by Suzy Loudon

Hi everyone. I'm back again to share another layout.

I wanted to scrap my son and his girlfriend but didn't want to make it too girly for his album. So what better colour combination than black,white, red and greys.

To begin with I chose a 7Dots paper then used the Dusty Charcoal Colour Paste through a stencil.

 Once dry I spread the Fire Engine Colour Paste through a crack stencil.

 I sprayed some Colour Spray in Road Base onto a plastic tray. I then added some water to water it down. Using a paint brush I dabbed around the edge of my page to give it a darker border.

 Whilst waiting for my page to dry I painted my chipboard in white gesso.

My title I then covered in clear crackle paste.

Once the crackle was dry & cracked I sprayed it with Road Base Colour Spray.

I dabbed some Colour Paste in Steel on some chipboard (and then accidently dropped it face down onto my page giving that little mess in the bottom left hand corner)

After adding a few paper elements I splattered some Colour Spray in Road Base and Love.

A little bit of Fire Engine Colour Paste on some heart chipboard.

My little frame was first painted with Steel Colour Paste, then whilst still wet I sprinkled some Colour Embossing Powder in Dusty Charcoal & Fire Engine. 

Heating gave it some great texture.

A quick spray of some white flowers using Colour Sprays in Road Base & Love.

I added some black & white string then put it all together.

And here's my finished page.

Thanks once again for taking the time to look.

Hope you are feeling inspired to create as well.
