Wishing in the Rain Journal Page - Kerry Fellowes

Hello.  It's Kerry here again with another journal page.... with yes, more fairies...LOL!

This time I have started with the Colour Blast Embossing Powder in  'Deep Water', 'Dusty Charcoal' and 'Bling'.  I have used some different sized lids for some circles and embossed the circles on some 300gsm watercolour paper.

I then sprayed some shimmer sprays in 'Bling' and 'Deep Water' on the background of the page and sprayed the 'Dusty Charcoal' heavily on one end and allowed the drips to run down the page.

I used some white gesso to bring my circles back to the front of the page.

I stamped some text into the circles and some dots on the background with some Black Archival Ink and highlighted my circles with a Black Stabilo All pencil.

Using my fingers, I coloured in the circles with the pastes in 'Sunshine', 'Singin the Blues' and 'Rose Petal'. 

Then I highlighted the circles with the 'Snow White' paste.

 

I added some Whichcraft mini fairies and wish title.

I finished off with some more stamping and a bit of glitter.

Thanks for stopping by.

These kids are my favourite models!!

 Thankfully they love the camera!

I'm so grateful they indulge me and are so easy to play Snaparazzi with.

I purchased a new Stencil and all I saw was colour......

Given Dream catchers are very much on  trend this stencil is certainly going to get a workout.

I chose a selection of colours thinking rainbow and maintaining a range appropriate to my photo.

Laying down the stencil I began smearing a selection of colour in my chosen pattern.

Be sure to have your wipes on hand to clean your palette knife as you go.

This will prevent any colours blending into your pots.

You can see the tye-dye effects above are very effective themselves.

To change the finish from a metallic to intense frosted result I sprinkled it with my Snow White Embossing powder and set with the Heat gun.

The intensity of the colour paste mixed with the frosted icing is a gorgeous effect and the sparkle is to die for!!!

Definitely something I'll be doing again

The result on the black is intense and I chose to restrain myself at this point.

I liked it so much I could have just left it!!!

Instead I matched the colour palette with a selection of goodies and I've got a page I can admire

I do love looking at it everytime I walk past.

The colours are amazing!

I love the bubble smear effects at the bottom of the stencil pattern

and the sprinkle for sequins tying this all together.

What You See Is What You Get by Trudi Harrison

Hi Everyone!

Trudi back with you today sharing some more Colour Blast Inspiration.  I have recycled flower packaging and added some colour fun with Shimmer Sprays and Colour Paste.

Fire Engine Colour Paste and a stencil were used for masked detail.  I heated the paste which created a lovely bubbled effect. 

Dusty Charcoal Shimmer Spray was spritzed over the top. 

Sunshine was then added to the colour party 

Along with Deep Water.

I also added some stamped detail with a grid stamp and black ink before embellishing.

Thanks for stopping by

Art Journal - by Lynn Good

Hi Lynn back again to share an art journal page I created

There is something about the Eiffel Tower that makes me want to travel and see it - it is on my bucket list for sure :)

I did an image transfer of the tower and then sealed it with clear gesso.

I have used a Kaisercraft stencil - Stained Glass and Gloss Gel Medium.  Once dry I have used Colour Burst Sprays - Singin the Blues and Just blue.

I cut out the hearts from some scrap music paper (I love to collect music books and dictionaries from book sales and markets).  I have sprayed these with Colour Blast shimmer spray - Rose Petal and Royalty.

I have embossed the Tim Holtz Title Stamp with Colour Blast Paste - Dusty Charcoal

I have randomly stamped with a Tim Holtz Ledger Script stamp in black ink.

For the final touches I have used a Tim Holtz Stencil - Stripes and Colour Blast Paste - Royalty.

I have linked the products used to the Colour Blast Online store at the bottom of the post.

and some close ups:

Thanks for stopping by and if you are going to the Expo in Brisbane, I will see you there!!!!

Happy Crafting :)

"She...." by Michelle Logan

Hi all, Michelle back again playing with faces again!

This is my Art Journal that I use to just play around with and experiment.

This is a way to relieve myself of all the ideas that are going through my head! 

Some things work..... others not so much, but I do love to just have some Free Play Time without a particular project in mind. That being said this page that I am sharing just seemed to work for me so thought I would share it!

So here it is: 

I have been trying to make a habit of taking progress pics so I can let you all in on how it all happens. So here we go, buckle up and join me as I attempt to explain the process, apologies in advance if a few steps were missed, I was on a roll!!!

First I stamped some images to make a collage background with an ink that will not move with any wet media to follow.

Then I chose some Colour Pastes I haven't used in a while, and taped up a stencil so that I only use half the face. (you have to look hard to see her as the stencil is clear). 

Then I used my first colour paste through the stencil.

When the first colour is dry, I do the same thing with the next colour, and in the last image I wanted a full face with the pink so removed the tape.

Once all three girls were dry I added some splashes of Glimmer Spray in the same colours, then I painted a layer or 2 of Gesso on the faces so that I could add  colour and details.

                                       
                                      

This is where I forgot some progress shots as I was caught up in the moment playing with the faces! 

I used my Neocolor 2 crayons, watercolour pencils and my water soluble All pencil to fill in details and make my girls a little "moody"!

                

 

I added shadow with the same pencils and crayons around all 3 girls to make them move into the foreground a little.

A few scribbles with a white marker also gave them an "arty" feel!

   

We are almost done....a title using some alpha stickers and a sentiment stamp and I called the page done!

  

 Here are a few more close ups of my moody gals:

Really happy with the way they worked out, their faces are in no way perfect but that was never going to happen with me behind the pencil!

 

Colour Blast Products I used are:

Colour Pastes: Bling, Leather and Rose Petal

Colour Shimmer Sprays: Bling, Leather and Rose Petal

 

So that's it for me for now see you again a little later on in the month! 

Till then be sure to check back often for all the wonderful work the rest of the DT are sharing!
