You Make Life Beautiful by Suzy Loudon

Hi everyone. Today I went back to the original Colour Blast products, using Colour Shimmer Spray & Colour Embossing Powder.

I wanted to get into my lace box whilst doing this layout. So when prepping my page I tore the edges of my top sheet then stuck it down & edged all the sides with lace.

Once ready, I used Heavy White Gesso through a stencil.

I then gave my page a spray with Envy Colour Shimmer Spray, adding a few splotches as well.

I double embossed my chipboard with Envy Colour Embossing Powder.

I sprayed some flowers with the Envy Colour Shimmer Spray.

Putting my elements together I added more lace, fussy cut flowers from the paper range and some micro beads.

Here's a few close ups.

Thanks for looking.

Graduation by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone

This weeks project is of my son's Graduation from SEDA 
He did so well, it was the best decision we made to send him there for his last two years of High School
He excelled at all that he did and put 100% into everything
His teacher even said on stage in front of the whole Year 12 classes that Jack was the best student he'd taught in the 7 years that he had worked at SEDA 
So needless to say we were very happy and proud parents

Make sure to check out the Colour Blast Blog and the Shop where you will find links to Facebook and Instagram so you won't miss out on anything that's happening

I started with some Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink Spice drips on the paper (Kaisercraft Time Machine it's embossed so it has parts that the ink won't stay on)

I used the Colour Shimmer Dust Midnight which I made into a spray bottle on the background paper as well and then sprayed some paper clay embellishments you can just see a little bit of shimmer in the photo but if you could see them they have so much shimmer

I had a little dot stencil that I used randomly with the Colour Paste Stormy Weather

I added an Art Pebble to the basketball to give it dimension

I had a Flair Button that I thought was perfect for the page so I added it to a bottle cap but it left a gap so I filled in the gap with some Zinc glass beads and added some wings

Awhile ago I had won a pack and it had the word #swag in it so I coloured it with the Colour Artist Ink Spice that was left over on some paper towel that was still wet by patting it till it was all coloured 
I added some metal accents for some interest and dimension

And I added this Make a Difference disc because that's what I think Jack will do with his life.

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

To Do Lists by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

This project was inspired by my husband 

He has lists everywhere, so I thought I would make something that will keep everything in one place because he won't use his phone apparently that's to hard

So for the Colour Blast Blog this is what I created

Also be sure to check out what the rest of the team have created

Each hook has a different label - Things to do, Things to buy and Places to go so when anyone has something they need or are going too it can be written down (hopefully LOL)

This was a Kaisercraft kit thats been around awhile 

First I painted it all with White Heavy Gesso

Then each square I used a different stencil with Colour Paste 

Two with Stormy Weather and one with Fire Engine

On the top part I used an arrow stencil with some Colour Paste Snow White then used Colour Shimmer Dust Midnight

Flicked the Dust in a few places then sprayed some water 

Then tilted it until I was happy with the coverage I had on it

I love how one Colour Shimmer Dust can have a few different colours come out

The letters I used are white plastic ones so I went around the edges with a black marker just so they would stand out a bit 

I glued them down with Helmar Super-Tac Glue

I also used this glue to adhere the clips to the chipboard squares

My husband came up with idea of cable ties to attach the two parts together 

Fingers crossed it gets used.

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