Poison or Passion by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

On the Colour Blast Blog today I'm sharing a bottle - is it a poison or a passion potion in it LOL

For some reason I have so many bottles and no I don't drink alcohol   hahaha

We are also on Instagram so make sure to check out our page and follow us on there

So I used some Colour Blast products to decorate the bottle with 

I wanted to coat the bottle with just the Colour Artist Ink Soot but each time I put a bit in it wouldn't stay

So I tried to add some Colour Shimmer Dust Midnight with some water and then swirling it and trying to dry into place but that didn't look how I wanted it either  

So out came the black gesso it was nearly empty so I added water to the container and got as much of the black out as I could so between the three products I managed to fill the bottle and lid not as shimmery as I wanted but in certain light you can see the sparkle

Then I used one of the Colour Blast Linked in Metal Die using book paper

Then using the Colour Embossing Powder Deep Water I embossed some paper clay pieces and then stamped a little stamp heart I had onto the lid and then three times onto the spoon

I tied the spoon with some twine to make it look like that's what you will drink the potion with

Here you can see the beautiful colour of the Deep Water Colour Embossing Powder

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

Here's a little project I did using the Colour Blast Colour Pastes 

Make sure you visit the Colour Blast Blog and see all the awesome creations from the Design Team and look out for all the new products that are coming out

And don't forget we have a Colour Blast Kit Club make sure to check that out as well

I started by using the Heavy White Gesso on this timber frame giving it a good coat

I used the Colour Paste in Sunshine, Tangerine Dream and Blush trying to blend each one after the other (not that successfully but I think it still looks good) through this flourish stencil

After the paste was dry I used the string to wrap around the frame in every angle I could go 

I painted some paper clay leaves with some Colour Shimmer Cube Apple of Eye (are no longer available but you might find some online stores still stock them)

I just got this Colour Spray Carribean and it's so nice- it has a matte finish but it still pops 

I sprayed it onto this paper clay filigree 

I love the way it was depth it went into the grooves and stayed darker

I then stuck the quote onto it 

Added a few different flowers I think then end one is Prima and the other two are Little Birdie Crafts

You can see the paper clay leaves sticking out of the sides of the flowers  

The butterfly was a photo I found on the internet and just loved it I printed it out then fussy cut around all the white it had

I folded the wings up so it looks like it was flying

I then glued the butterfly to a metal ring that has flowers all the way around

I love this flower from Little Birdie with the Smile cabochon in the middle so I made the butterfly fly to that and used some metal leaves off to the side

Grateful Heart by Suzanne Franin

Happy New Year Everyone Suzanne here

I hope you're having a fun but safe New Years Eve

On today's BLOG for Colour Blast I created a canvas with lots of paper clay pieces stuck on 

I started off by painting the canvas with Heavy White Gesso

Then used some Helmar Premium Craft Glue to adhere all the paper clay pieces on (like a jigsaw) 
I then filled in some gaps with Art Stones and finished it off with another coat of Heavy White Gesso

Then I decided to make it colourful and I used the Colour Shimmer Dusts in - Paris, Peacock, Amber, Sunflower, Duke and Candy 
Flicking a little bit of dust before spraying water with each colour (trying not to make mud by getting the colours too mixed up)

Then I felt it needed some more shimmer so I mixed the Dorlands Wax with the Colour Embossing Powder -  Bling and used a  spatula knife to spread it around the canvas and into the little gaps 
I covered the heart all over as that's what stands out the most and I based my quote on

Thank you for visiting and I hope you have a very happy 2019 xx
