ARTSY TULIPS

Hello Everyone - Today is my last post for Creative Inspiration Paints here on the Inspiration Blog. I will continue to be using these fabulous paints, but I am stepping down from the team to make room for more talent to come in to inspire you!


I want to thank everyone here for the opportunity! The paints and this experience has been AMAZING! Best wishes to all of the new Design Team, they are going to have a blast!

On my project, I used the fabulous shimmery paints from Creative Inspiration Paints. I used Core'dinations cardstock and painted over the entire piece with Winter Frost.

PAINTED PRIMAS

Hello Everyone- This is Chris Dickinson Remember a few years ago when the big rage in flower land was these paper Primas? Well, they keep coming out with BETTER product yet we have these left overs laying around. ACK, of course, I buy all of the new stuff too, but need to be a wise steward and use up my older things too. In an effort to do this, I grabbed my Shimmery, fabulous Creative Inspiration Paints and thought I would make some leaves and paint my Prima flowers too, to match my card!
You can use any type of paint brush you wish! I used an Aquapainter. Choose your paint color and your Prima flower. I bought a large bin of white Primas, so I will be creating a leaf with this one!

Paint directly on the flower with the paints that you like. Be careful to not over saturate with water as you paint. If you do, carefully use a Heat Tool to dry the flowers.

I did not have the right color of rose, so I mixed my own color. I used a touch of Burgundy, Rose and Fairy Frost and painted the color directly on the second Prima.

Once the paint is dry, I trimmed the Prima flower to create more of a "leafy" look.

Don't you just love the shimmer with these paints???

SHIMMERY LEAVES

Hello! Chris Dickinson here - bringing a fall card for your viewing pleasure!

 I used the Creative Inspiration Shimmer Paints to create this background. I placed a small amount of water in a container. Using my paint brush, I dipped the tip into the paint and swirled the Pumpkin paint into the water several times. I then dipped the tip into the Onyx paint and swirled that into the water several times. I then swirled the colors together and dipped white paper into the water to get a swirled background. Depending on the weight of your card stock, do not allow it to saturate too long or your card stock will pill.

I did not have the right color ribbon, so I decided to create the color I wanted by painting a 5/8" Cream Ribbon with the Pumpkin Shimmer Paints. So pretty - the ribbon was nice but now it SHIMMERS. It took about 15 minutes to dry, which allowed me plenty of time to stamp my card and work on the layout.

Here are some more details on my card:

Stamp: Randi's Song from Our Daily Bread Designs

Cardstock: White, Tangerine, Black

Creative Inspirations Shimmer Paints: Pumpkin, Onyx

Accessories: Cream Ribbon, Buttons from SU Neutrals, Linen Thread

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have a WONDERFUL day!!!

TWO BED TIME STORIES...

Hello Everyone! This is Chris Dickinson here! Welcome to the Creative Inspirations Blog! I am filling in today for the talented Samantha Star, who did not have her paints in time for her first post. 


For your viewing pleasure, I have TWO projects for you! Both using the Inspired By Challenge - Bedtime Stories. The first card uses the "Jack Be Quick" and the second card uses "Rudolph the Red-nose Reindeer."   We would LOVE it if you played along too!


My first project uses these dreamy, creamy paints! I have to admit. Once I started painting with them I could not stop. I sat down and painted about 10 images! The only reason I stopped was because it was my bed time. 


 These paints have just the right amount of sparkle to them and are SO easy to use! I started out by grabbing my water color paint brush and Plum and painted the candle.  The flame portion I painted with the Canary, Garnet, Mellow Yellow and Pumpkin and just a touch of plum in the center of the flame.  I used Antique Gold and Gold for the candle holder. The leaves were painted with Emerald and the berries were painted with Garnet and Burgundy for some shading.


You can really see the shimmer of these gorgeous paints on the white card stock before  I cut it out for the card...

For my second card, I used the Denim paint for the back ground of the stamped image. I painted the antlers with the Tan paint. I used the YUMMY Chocolate paint for the reindeer and Garnet for his cute little nose! The Raw Sienna paint was perfect for the stars and I used the Tutu Pink for the inside of his ears.

I hope you enjoyed these projects! Thank you for stopping by and taking a look! Have a GREAT weekend!
