Let Your Dreams Fly - Art Journal Page

Hello my creative friends! Today I have a journal page I quickly made using a wooden dragonfly, oil pastels, watercolor crayons and lots of Creative Inspirations Paint and some Jeweled Inspirations. To be honest, I have been out of town all weekend, so I created this on the road. I made sure to pack up my CI Paints and some other coloring tools along with my art journals. This isn't my best, but it works. 

I was really going for a pond with a dragonfly flying overhead. We often see lavender/purple flowers (which I really think are weeds) near ponds where we live. I wanted to include them on my page for more color. 

In my grassy parts I used Sage, Green Olive and Evergreen paints. Sapphire, Turquoise and Tanzanite were used on the water, while Beige was used on the sand/dirt around the pond. All of the paints mixed in the various areas add a wonderful shimmer to the entire page. 

My dragonfly is a wooden one that was made by Genuinely Jane Studios for a Missouri LSS in the Columbia area. I covered it in tissue tape and colored it with Rose Quartz and Tickled Pink on the wings and some more Turquoise and Green Olive on the body. It really shimmers in the light. I love it! 

My flowers have Clear Jeweled Inspirations for the centers with some Lavender paint accented petals. 

I will probably work on some more pages tonight using some other colors of CI Paints.   I can't wait to play some more! 

Once we are back in Missouri this week and not on the road I will get more regular play time in and not just in a journal. 

See you soon! 

Art Journal - Deep Blue Sea

Hi CIP followers!  I'm sharing an art journal page with you today where I've used lots of shimmery CIP colors with my doodles.  The Rose Quartz (between lettering), Sea Foam (between lettering), and Sapphire (background) have all been thinned with water for more of a water color effect.  The other paints I've used in this project are Blue Ice, Copper, Antique Copper, Antique Gold, Buttercup and Garnet.  Each of these items can be found in the Creative Inspirations Paint store.

Here is a better look at the Buttercup tail and background colors:

YT Girl Tag

Hi CIP fans and followers!  I was going through my images and came across this YouTube Girl from Whimsie Doodles!  I thought it would fun to do a tag for a change, and used plenty of the shimmery paints from the Creative Inspirations Paint store.  The paint colors used are: Aqua Marine (the background), Sky Blue, Copper, Beige, and Fairy Dust.   The seam binding is done using the Sapphire Creative Inspiration Paint.  

Here is a closer look at the CIP products that I've used:

Hi CIP fans and followers!  I've made a card to brighten someone's day, and painted it up with the shimmery paints from the Creative Inspirations Paint store.  The image has several colors: Turquoise, Antique Silver, Sage, and Silver Frost.  The scalloped background she's on is accented in Turquoise as well.  I had a bit of fun with some white seam binding and Sapphire Inspirations paint.  Just added a bit of alcohol to the paint and coated the seam binding.  Then I rinsed it with water to lighten it up for my project.  Just crinkled and used my heat gun to dry.

CIP - Nutcracker Tag

Hi there CI Paint fans!  Kimberly here, and I'm back with a new project with Creative Inspirations Paint.  I've used three colors from the Creative Inspirations Paint line on my Nutcracker Tag that I've created with recycled chipboard (cereal box).  The background of the tag is covered in Sapphire, the snowflakes and Nutcracker's hair is Winter Frost, and his shoes are Evergreen.  I've also used Siam (SS20) Jeweled Inspirations for the snowflake centers and on the Nutcracker's hat.

Happy November! Can you believe it's here already?? Where is this year getting to? I sure as heck don't know, but every time I blink, another week or two has passed!

Today I have a project I made while checking out some of the galleries on Splitcoaststampers earlier this evening (Wednesday night.) I saw this card and thought it would be fun to try it using Creative Inspirations Paints.

I wanted to make a winter scene, so I took some time with my colours. To make the gradation of the ground, through the snow and up into the winter night, I used 7 different paints. In order, from bottom to top, I used Mocha Latte, Silver Frost (just a tiny hint), Winter Frost, Blue Ice, Tanzanite, Sapphire, and Denium. I don't think the light is good enough for the photograph to show just how shimmery and wintery the card really appears, but it looks like snow sparkling on a moonlit night.
