Choose to Shine for Colour Blast

Hello there.  Today I'm sharing a super easy journal page with you.

I started with a bit of Colour Blast Heavy White Gesso on page.  I've added a die cut to this and dried.

I've then added some water to the page around the die cut.  To this I have added some Colour Shimmer Dust in Peacock and Paris. 

 Moving it around with a paintbrush, I added extra water where needed.

I let some of the water spread on the edges of the page and dried.

Some Colour Paste in Snow White has been rubbed on the leaves of the roses to add some extra shimmer.

The title on my page was a bit thick so I have cut this in half to remove the bulk.  To this I rubbed some Colour Paste Charcoal with my finger.

Some gold splatters have been added with the Colour Shimmer Brush Marker Gold.

I've used that Gold Shimmer pen to also colour a butterfly embellishment.  This has been added to the page with some white and gold cotton.  To finish off I watered down a little Colour Heavy Black Gesso and added a border to the page with the edge of an old card.

Limited Edition for Colour Blast

Hi there. So happy you're joining me today for some Colour Blast love.

My page started with a little Colour Shimmer Dust in Midnight.  I've mixed this in with a bit of water and washed it across my page.  I also did a few splatters with the leftover mix.

Once this has dried I've taken some circle templates (bottle lids) and used these to stamp with some Black Heavy Gesso and White Heavy Gesso.

I have mixed water and Colour Shimmer Dust Paris and water coloured this onto the parts of the circles that are on the white card stock.

The circles on the midnight background have then been coloured with the Paris mix.  I let each one sit for a while and then using some paper towel, lifted the remaining colour. 

This has left a nice shimmery dark teal shade on the background.

You have to keep using clean sections of paper towel.  Otherwise you just end up transferring the colour instead of lifting it.

I've then used some paste with Colour Blast Stencil, That Way by Michelle Grant.

Popped on some messy journaling.

Added some cotton, gems and a title.

Hope you've been inspired.
