Best Witches!

Happy Halloween, crafty friends!  Julie here from Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers. I'm picking up an extra post today. It is pure pleasure to have an opportunity to work with these paints a little more.  And what day could be more fun to post than Halloween?

Those of you who frequent my blog and know my style know that I often make 2 similar cards using the same card base.  That's what I did today.  I cut one 8 1/2x11 piece of gray cardstock in half, made two card bases out of it, and built from there.  So, I have two similar in design, yet quite different in appearance cards to share.

Here's the first one:

 

 

I stamped my witch hat image, then painted it with the following Creative Inspirations Paints: Pumpkin, Orange, Light Purple, Royal Purple, Evergreen, and Green Olive.  I love how well the paints blend together!

In real life, the witch's hat is incredibly shimmery! I tried to get a photograph of the shimmer.  Photos just don't do these paints justice, but here's my attempt at it:

 

 

Can you see the shimmer on that hat? It's so pretty it spooks me!

Now, on to the second, similar card...

 

 

I used the same stamp for my image, the same colors of Creative Inspirations Paint (Pumpkin, Orange, Light Purple, Royal Purple, Evergreen, Green Olive), but mixed it up some, changing the look of the witch's hat.  Both hats are fussy cut, then attached with foam tape for a little 3D effect.

And, here's another view of the second card, again trying to photograph the incredible shimmer of Creative Inspirations Paint.

 

 

I love, love, love that shimmer!

Which card is your favorite?  Or is that, witch card?

Here are all the paints I used. So pretty.

 

Thanks for visiting today. For more details about these cards, and to see what other spooky projects I've been working on, please visit my blog, Muddy Paws & Inky Fingers.  Have a safe, candy filled Halloween!

Some Birdy Loves You!

Hello everyone, Cheryl here today to share a Pocket Easel Card I made for Creative Inspiration Paints, using the Beautiful Shimmery Paints, and Embossing Powder.

I used Buttercup and Royal Blue CIP's on my CottageCutz flowers. For the Birdcage I used the beautiful Deliquesce Gold Crystal. My card is a pocket Easel card, and in the photo below you can see the tag for the pocket, I call that a Hidden Message  area. That way when people  are looking at your card they dont have to see all the writing :)

Creative Inspiration Paints, has some NEW Beautiful Glitters out, and you can find those HERE

I love the bright cheery colors on this card!! The ribbons, Laces and Buttons are from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and all die cutz are CottageCutz dies. 

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!!

Hugs to all,

Cheryl

For You

Hello crafty friends.  Today I'm sharing a card using an image from the DigiStamp Boutique.

This sweet image is from the Rosie Collection 1.  I colored it with copics and colored pencils and then applied Creative Inspirations Paints to the balloons and package bows to give them some shimmer.  I used Sunshine, Mellow Yellow, Turquoise, and Sky Blue on the balloons.  On the bows, I used Turquoise, Sky Blue, Royal Purple, and Light Purple.  Then I went over all of these areas with Fairy Dust to really add some sparkle!

We have a challenge going on and you can find all the details in this post.  You can find all the Creative Inspirations Paints here.  Thank you so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Anita

  

Angels

Since the theme this week is inspired by Mother's Day, what better to show than a family card. These Stampotique angels make a wonderful family grouping.
I really wanted to show this card on the CI blog because it demonstrates one of my favorite things about CI paints, besides the color and shimmer of course. I love that you can see what you stamped through the colors and yet the colors are strong. You can paint over black ink and get a great color. Colors used on my card include sunshine yellow, gold, plum, royal blue, onyx, garnet, burnt sienna, autumn wheat, and blue ice.

Hope and trust canvas

Hello, my dear friends! Irit is here again and this time with my altered Mixed Media canvas made all  with Creative Inspirations paints.

I used this 6*6'' canvas and didn't even used gesso, but painted it all with lots of CI paints, over and over. Some were just drops (I added some water to the paint), some were stamped white dots, some were just finger painting. The flowers were made using some molding paste, them dried, painted with more CI paints and then I heat embossed  them  with Clear embossing powder. Some old vintage fabric was added over the paint, then I glued some Tim Holtz words from his tickets over the canvas.

Hope I inspired you this time and as you can see CI paints and embossing powders are all you need for Mixed Media art (add some gesso and molding paste and you are done).
See you next time with more inspiration.
And here are some of the Creative Inspirations products used for this piece of art

Art Journaling with Creative Inspirations Paint

Today I've created a page in my art journal using my Creative Inspirations Paints for the background. Let me just tell you, this page has some layers!



I painted the background with Creative Inspirations Paints in Evergreen, Aqua Marine, Royal Blue and Tanzanite. I stamped vintage typography with the Unity stamp - SheArt Print Texture. Next, I randomly brushed on some Sakura Crystal Lacquer and sprinkled Gold mica powders over it.

I stamped an embossed a heart from the January SMAK kit . I spritzed the entire page with Ranger Mists and then went back to stamping. I used the numbers background from the December SMAK kit. You can barely see these, but I love how they just add a little more depth to the page. I painted more of the Creative Inspirations Paints onto the Painted Punchinella stamp and randomly stamped that in open areas. I added a sentiment from the Donna + Unity = FABric Creations set. I let some Crystal Lacquer drip down my page, and I added more of the Gold mica powders. I then spritzed it again to help blend the whole page together.



Thanks for stopping by!

Butterfly Moments

Howdy again! It's Holly here, and I've got a shimmery blue butterfly card for you today.

You're probably wondering where the paint is. Hang on to your hats, folks. I used Royal Blue Creative Inspirations Paint everywhere you see blue. The butterflies, the scallop circle, the ribbon, the rhinestones, and even the blue mat in the background are all painted with Royal Blue paint. Here's a close-up so you can see the shimmer:

Isn't that gorgeous? I love the shimmer! By using the same paint on everything, I didn't have to worry about finding cardstock or embellishments to match. Yes, you can use these paints on cardstock, ribbon, and rhinestones! How great is that?

Did you happen to notice what this week's CI Paint challenge is? We're challenging you to use bling on your cards and projects. You don't have to use CI Paints on your entries, but if you have some, we'd love to see you use them! If you don't have any bling that matches your creation, just pull out some CI Paint and paint some regular clear rhinestones or some white pearls and you'll have the perfect accent.
