Happy by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

I love shaped canvases they are so much fun so for this post for Colour Blast Blog I used a round one

Don't forget about out checking out the the Kit Club all the details are on the Colour Blast Website

This is Jack my son he's going places he has a head for business and that's what he's doing at Uni for the next five years 

He'll do any work that's thrown his way at his job 

And the only other thing he loves more than his family is the gym LOL

I started with some Colour Blast Colour Paste Steel painting it with a paint brush 

I then dripped some Colour Artist Ink in Rust (my favourite colour)

 I then used some Colour Shimmer Dust Duke which I also painted on

I then ended up painting the Colour Artist ink Rust and the Colour Shimmer Dust Duke thicker and then spreading the Colour Paste Steel with a palette knife  

I love how you can still see the canvas detail

 So here's how the canvas looks after playing around for awhile trying to get things straight LOL not a great strength of mine 

 I used Flutterbydesign Stickers to add some sayings that suit Jack 

 I added a few Finnabair Mechanicals for some contrast

In the Centre of the bottle cap I added a Melange Art Pebble which I had painted with Colour Shimmer Dust Duke mixed with 3D Matte Gel

I also used a heart from Charms Creations they have some many gorgeous shapes in so many colours

I then added Art Stones randomly to finish off the canvas

Thank you for visiting and I hope you come back soon x

Dream Big by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

This week for the Colour Blast Blog 

Don't forget to check out the rest of the blog for some Design Team inspiration and ideas

I decided to use a photo of my son posing when he was trying on his suit for his sisters wedding and just as I was taking the photo he turned his head to pose LOL

I started off with some crackle paste with a diamond stencil

Once it was dry I wanted to used a few different blues one the canvas

I dripped the Colour Artist Ink Calypso in a few spots then sprayed a little water to help it spread a bit further

I then added a bit of Colour Artist Ink Soot to darken it up a bit but then it was too dark so I watered it down a lot and it made it go a darker blue

Then I added some Colour Shimmer Dust Duke and sprayed the water and everything around it - made me remember to cover and move a few bits that I didn't want blue lol

You can see I added water to the Colour Shimmer Dust Cobalt so it would spread over the canvas

Putting the Colour Shimmer Dust Navy on then I sprayed it a little and turned the canvas in a few directions

Here are two different close ups of the colours you can see the colours

I added some metal embellishments and a few inspirational words to finish it off and that's it
