Makes Me Happy

Hi everyone! Emily here today with a quick post to share a canvas I made this past week using soeme Creative Inspirations Paints on top of my other mediums. 

I've found that CI Paints work really well added on my mixed media pieces as accents, or for smaller embellishments, or even just for various areas of shading in the sky or ground. 

On today's canvas I used the paints on the background in the sky and grass, the flowers and on the word Happy. 

The paints are so vibrant that added to already bright colors, they really shine! It's just one of the many things I love about CI Paints. 

I used Super Sparkle Pink Deliquesce embossing powder for the word Happy... see all of those sparkles? 

Colors used on my canvas today: 

Thanks for stopping by!! Have a wonderful day! Enjoy your weekend!

The last days of summer, where shall we go?

Here is a sneak peek of the card I made.  I think of summer when I see this card-- Where shall we go?

I hope you liked it. If you would like more information on my project hop on over to my blog, the link is on my name above.

The Journey

Hello! How is your summer going? Mine is going great thus far and for the first time, I have some plants growing in my yard that I planted! I am super proud of myself since I haven't had a green thumb in the past. The kids got me some hanging flowering plants for Mother's Day and they are still going strong. Last year my gifts were not so lucky. :(

The canvas I made to share for you today is inspired by the flowers in my life this summer. I used various CI Paints as well as the new Resinesence. I used the resin on the bottle caps in the centers of my flowers. Before I added the resin I placed patterned paper in one bottle cap and some patterned fabric in the other, adhering with liquid adhesive. After the adhesive dried, I used Tutu Pink paint on the number paper and some Garnet paint on the fabric. The resin was added over each and cured for 20 minutes under my UV light. I love how they turned out! 

More of the Resinesence was used on the banner at the bottom of the canvas. The banner is chipboard painted with some Orange acrylic paint, Orange CI paint and covered with the resin. I stamped the sentiment over the resin after it had cured. 

Below are some close ups of the canvas... CI Paints were used on the edges of the flowers, the leaves, background, stems, and circles on the canvas. The various colors really shimmer when you look at the canvas from different angles. 

After I photographed this, my brother came home and saw it sitting in the window, he immediately claimed it for his new apartment. I'm happy it will be going to a good home. I'm still in a flower mood, so I am working on some other flower projects that will make up for the loss of this one. ;) 

Here are the Creative Inspirations Paint products used in my Journey Canvas today: 

I hope your summer is as inspiring as mine is! Have a great day!! 

Shimmer Flowers

Hello!

Shea here with my very first project for you!  Today's card features some fun flowers that I made using several colors of CI Paints and the Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers die.

Normally I like to use lots of texture and patterns, not to mention glitter and bling, on my cards but this flower is so colorful and shimmery that I decided to let it stand alone (almost).  It was so much fun! 

First I die cut all of the pieces several times each out of patterned CS, then I sprayed them with water and scrunched them to give them, well, a tattered look.  They are very fragile at this stage and easily torn, as you can see on the green flower with the long, thin petals.  Not a problem, the torn off petal can be attached later.

I painted them with multiple layers of paints, first with Tutu Pink around the centers, then Sky Blue, Mellow Yellow, and Sage for the appropriate colored layers.

Then I layered them, centering them with a pearl.  See how the patterned papers show through the layers of paint?

Here's one closeup showing the shimmery goodness...

...and another closeup showing the patterns.

And that was all there was to it!  I have lots of flowers left over for future projects as I got a little carried away while making them.

The rest of the card was simple.  A quick run through the Big Shot for the base layer with a dot embossing folder, a simple sentiment enhanced with pearls from my stash, and some Metallic Inspirations matte brads finish this simple, yet still colorful card.

Thank you so much for joining me and I hope we see you over at our latest CI Challenge, the theme of which is Anything Goes!

Happy crafting!

Colors used:

Sage, Sky Blue, Tutu Pink, Mellow Yellow

For the greenery I used the lightest green, then painted over some with the darker green, then dabbed some off. I absolutely Love the look you get with these beautiful shimmery paints!!!  Hope you can see by clicking on my photo's to enlarge them!!

I used some leftover Pink Gingham print Dp and then layered it with CottageCutz Scalloped Doily. I did add sewing,Really Reasonable Ribbon, Pearl, and a button to complete my card.

CIP's Pennie Pockets/Video

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with 2 Pennie Pockets I created for Creative Inspiration Paints. I LOVE using the Paints & Embossing Powders on my projects.

For this 1st Pennie Pocket I used CIP's Paints in Tutu Pink & Chocolate to give some shimmer to my flowers. I also added a tad bit of Resplendence Angel Dust

 On my next Pennie Pocket I decided to use Creative Inspiration Paints Deliquesce Gold Crystals Sparkle for my Tag. I love the look of the pretty shiny gold and the crystals that come through.

 My video shows how I used the paints and Embossing powders on my projects here.

Thank you for looking and have a lovely day!

Hugs to all,

PLEASE READ~ IMPORTANT CHANGES

Before we share this week's challenge I want to remind you of some changes that have come to the Inspired By Challenges. Instead of having a new challenge posted every week, we are going to have 2 challenges a month  and each challenge will remain open for 2 weeks. That way it will give everyone plenty of time to enter our challenges. On the weeks that the new challenges are not posted, we will share reminders about that challenge and any other news going on with CI Paint.

Also instead of allowing only 1 entry into the challenges, there will now be no limit....so have fun and link up!
-----------------------

This week's challenge is:

Inspired By: Anything Goes
Here's some inspiration:

For my card I used Creative Inspirations Paint in Tutu and Fairy Dust to add some sparkle and shimmer to the hearts as well as the hearts on my cute giraffe.

The sentiment was stamped with Tim Holtz Gathered Twigs and heat embossed with a mix of Deliquesce Clear embossing powder and Resplendence Angel Dust glitter (a FAV combo of mine....it gives the sparkle of the glitter with the look of the heat embossing) 

I hope you have enjoyed my project and will play along with our challenge!!
Remember you do not need to use CI Paints on your projects but if you have them we would LOVE to see how you used them!!
As always thanks for stopping by and
have a great week!

Be sure to join in, we'd love to see what you create!!

With the challenge in mind, I created this Center Step Card:

For this card I first used a light pink ink to stamp the image on the left, then used VersaMark to stamp it again a little lower to the right and then embossed with some Deliquesce Super Sparkle Pink, which happens to my my favorite!!  I then used CI Paint Fairy Dust to add some shimmer to the light pink stamped silhouette!

I used TuTu Pink to make all the die cut flowers shimmer!!

Have a wonderful day!!

Sweeet Floral Delight!

Hello everyone, Cheryl here with my very 1st post for Creative Inspirations Paint, and I'm 

Super excited to say the least!!! :)

Today I have a card to share with you all , and hope you like it!! :)

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE Creative Inspirations Paints, I have used several different colors on my entire card here :) Not only did I stamp with the paints, I colored,distressed and inked up everything on my card :)

Pink Highlights

Chocolate

 Carmel

 Tan

Evergreen

Green Olive

Angel Dust

Jeweled Inspirations SS30 Gems (for the centers of flowers)

Jeweled Inspirations SS34 Gems(for the centers of flowers)

For the tag I used Tutu Pink, I just brushed it on to cover all the white. For the oval frame I used Tan. I love all the shimmer the paints give, they are beautiful!

Next on the flowers, I stamped the pink ones in Blush, heat set, then colored with Tutu Pink, and then cut them out with dies. for the edges of the flowers I used Resplendence Angel Dust from Creative Inspirations Paints. this is sooo pretty and gives a lot of glitz for cards and projects. All I did was brush some glue on the edges and then dipped the one side of the flower into the jar, and then tapped off the excess. 

Now for my brown flowers I stamped them in Chocolate and then heat set, and then colored with carmel. I repeated 

For the Branches, I used Evergreen and Green Olive to create the look for them, and then punched out the branches.

I used the Jeweled Inspirations for the centers of my flowers :)

For my Crocheted Lace I painted it with Pink Highlights, and for the card stock I painted with Carmel and Tan, also used them both on the doily!

I am Honored to be a part of Creative Inspirations Wonderful DT and absolutely LOVE working with the Paints and glitz. Thank you for looking and hope you have a lovely day!!
