Moment to Remember by Malinda Gardner

Hi Mal here with a page I did this week with all things ColourBlast.

I started with some Colour Shimmer Spray in Sunshine and then used some gauze to mop it up, blotch it. I planned on using the gauze on the page in some form later on.

Next I took some Carribean  Colour Spray and did some very SLOW sprays so that just some drips fell on to the page.

After this dried I took some Colour Paste in Deep Water and swiped some over my page, just over the middle of the page tapering out to the sides.

Then I wanted to create some dimension and layering over the pastes with some of the Colour Artist Inks in Marine and Citrus. I used the same gauze as before to dab on the page giving a splodge effect and also to blend some of the colours. 

Then I layered the gauze, some book paper, white wire and a frame. I really like using the gauze on my page as it's got the colours from the Colour Inks and ties everything together.

  

I really love this page...what do you think?

I'm off to get messy...I hear those inks calling me...I love them.

Hey all,

Mal here today to share with you a page I did over the weekend using some Colour Blast products.

It was a quick page, nothing too fancy, just using what I had in front of me...because I am running low on most of my pastes and am hanging out to order new stuff this week.

So I had to make do with what I had and come up with a few creative ways of using my stuff.

First thing I did was swipe some Deep Water  Colour Paste across my page

Then as I only had a small amount of Lipstick Colour Paste left I decided to use it on a small stencil with just some small sections. I actually used my finger to smear it over my stencil as I didn't want to waste any and I only wanted it in certain places.

Then I took some gauze coloured with Slipper  Colour Artist Ink that I had used in an earlier page to dab inks on my page and used it for the first layer on my page.

After adding all my embellishments I decided the page needed something around the edges so I took some Colour Artist Ink in Soot and a bit of hessian and wiped the ink around the edge of the page. Looks cool hey...and no messy fingers lol. 

So what do you think? 

Happy scrapping...I'm off to order more CB goodies!

"Today" by Mal

Hi all, 

Mal here with my latest share of all things Colour Blast.

Yes no photo...I'm really enjoying scrapping at the moment with no photos, just enjoying the creative process without having a photo dictate what I can do.

So you know I love the Artist Inks, so easy to use, great colours and they can be used in heaps of different ways. This page I used them in one main way and I think they look pretty good.

So I started with some Heavy White Gesso on my background as I knew I was going to use lots of inks and sprays and didn't want to saturate my cardstock.

Next I sprayed some Sunshine  Colour Shimmer Spray and let it run all over the page and then dried it.

Now the fun begins.

I took the Citrus  Colour Artist Ink and some gauze and dipped the gauze just a bit in the ink and then dabbed it on my page and rubbed it a bit.

I then kept adding more inks in more colours like Barley, Citrus, Cider and Slipper...aren't they gorgeous.

I then used the gauze and layered it with my frame and some punchinella and then all my embellishments.

Finally some drops and splats of Soot  Colour Artist Ink.

And the bonus of using the inks this way with some gauze is no messy fingers, well only a little bit.

Happy scrapping...Mal xxx
