Happy Days by Charmane Koch

Happy Friday Everyone! As happy as it can be! It is Spring, so it can only get better from here I say! I love the warmer weather!

Today I want to share with you a layout I created using the Embrace Change Collection!

I started off with cutting out a whole heap of leaves from the Autumn Trio & Old Leaves Dies using Embrace Change Gathering & Festival paper & also some Kraft paper - how satisfying and fun it is! I couldn't stop! Ha ha!

I have created a full video of this, but as an Amateur Video Creator I am still trying to figure out how to make it a bit more exciting...

So I will give you the basics of how I created it...

I started off with using Modelling paste and positioned the Wreath Stencil to the middle right of the page, then I have used the Cascading Leaves stencil on the left hand side of the page.

Once dried I have used a few different Mica Powders & Soot Artist Ink to colour the wreath and the leaves.

After colouring the stencilled images I played around with the positioning of my leaves...

I also coloured some Muslin with Leather Shimmer Dust & also the Title with the same colour too.

Here are some closeups to show the shimmer on the leaves...

And the cute little butterfly I've cut out! How cute is that?

Thanks for stopping by! I hope I've inspired you to use the Wreath & Cascading Leaves & the rest of the Embrace Change Collection! It's gorgeous!

Happy Creating! XO Charm

Wreath by Rachel Dutko

Hi Colour Blast fans!

Its Rachel with you, and for my project today I have decided to create some home decor. I have made a wreath, which seems to be a popular DIY crafting item at the moment.

To start I applied different Colour Pastes to a piece of Kraft cardstock. (I used Kraft because it is a lot sturdier than white cardstock). I have used Deep Water, Lipstick, Just Blue, Bling, Envy, Fire Engine, Apple Of My Eye, Royalty, Sunshine and Tangareen Dream.

Once they were all dry (I left it overnight), I stamped a leaf image 
with black archival ink, then cut each one out.

The next step was to cover an embroidery hoop 

with Black Heavy Gesso.

I then stuck down my coloured leaves all around the hoop.

I added some frayed burlap all around the wreath behind the leaves.

I added only a few embellishments because the colour and shimmer of the 
leaves themselves are a feature.

A few close ups-

And this is what it looks like on my front door!

I hope I've given you some inspiration on how to use 

your Colour Blast products in a different way.

Thanks for looking
