'Be Awesome Today' for Colour Blast

Hi there Colour Blasters! Anita here :)

I'm back today with some creative inspiration for you.

Saddly, this is my last post on the Colour Blast team :(

I have had a ball playing with these fantastic products.

Here's what I created...

'BE AWESOME TODAY'

 After playing along with Kraft+ challenge,

that Colour Blast sponsored

the other month. I decided I LOVED the

challenge soooo much, I wanted to have ANOTHER

crack at it LOL....

 

I've prep a little, using a gesso to created an 'island'.

I then grabbed a colour in the Mica Powders, & created

some watercolour detail over the gesso.

I used the same colour to mix in with some

gel medium & put thru the Flutterby

'Words of Wisdom' stencil.

I then finished of with LOTS of gorgeous goodies from Flutterby Designs!!!

'Hello Love' for Colour Blast

Hi there Colour Blasters!!! 

Anita here :)

I'm sharing a sneak peek at some new

Mica Colour Powders!! Here's a layout I created

using them...

'HELLO LOVE'

I have not used mica powders a lot before, so I adapted

them in a way I was familiar

with. I firstprepped my layout with some gesso

& then moved in to create a watercolour

effect using the powders.

I decided then I wanted to do some stenciling,

so I mixed some mica powder in with some gel medium

& used a script stencil.

I wanted to alter my wood veneer, by colouring it.

I painted it with gesso first, & while it was wet, daubed

some mica powder onto it using my finger.

I had made up the pink mica powder & gel medium

originally for stencilling, but changed my mind LOL.

I didn't want to waste it - who ever wants to do that?!

So I started freehanding a big flower on my layout.

Once it was dried, I knifed around a few petals & tucked

my photo underneath.

I finished off embellishing with a few
Flutterby Designs goodies.
Have you had a play with the new Mica Powders yet???

June Shares for Flutterby Designs

I thought it was time

I popped in & shared a few projects I've created

over the last several weeks. I've just started retreating again... & I LOVE being able to let my hair down & create with my people. Nothing better than having sore ab

muscles from being bent over laughing for so long.

'Hello Beautiful'

I've used the new 'Partners In Crime' collection.

I loved this sheet of Cocoa Vanilla Studio paper &

it looked like the perfect starting point. I've gone in

with some gesso & my Flutter Colour paints swooshes.

I then began piecing & layering the Everyday Etc cards

with my photo. 

Finishing up with some doodling, Circle & Confetti Circles wood veneers, Flair button, Teal Sticky Snippets, Enamel dots & Partners In Crime Page Tabs. I've also used

a Charm's Creation Mini Heart.

'Hello THere Sweetheart' By Anita Rodway for Colour Blast

It's my turn on the Colour Blast blog today & I've got a little layout to share with you :)

I've taken a few step-by-step pics to show

you my process.

I've grabbed some Bazzill 'Marshmellow' mixed media cardstock

(which doesn't require any gesso) & some Colour Blast Shimmer Sprays:

Royality & Lipstick. I've sprayed & dried it a few times, to build up the

colour & look of what I wanted.

I've then stuck down a strip of this pretty wrapping paper. I've then grabbed

a Flutterby Design 'I Heart You' stencil & 'Deep Water' Colour Blast paste.

While that was still a bit tacky, I've grabbed my 'Royality' Colour Blast Embossing

powder & just sprinkled over the paste. I kinda like how bubbly it went as I heated it.

I watered down some 'Deep Water' Colour Blast paste & added some drippage

thru the hearts. I decided it needed another 'pop' of colour, so of course I grabbed

some 'Bling' Colour Blast paste & Shimmer Spray. I've used a script stencil for

the paste & flicked on some splats with the shimmer spray.

Here's what my finshed layout turned out like :)

'HELLO THERE SWEETHEART'
