Shimmery Rainbow

Good morning Creative Inspirations Paint followers!

I just have a fun quick card to share with you today.

Just a quick way to add some beautiful shimmer to a card, by using the paint to alter your twine!

I created this fun rainbow card using some twine:

I then finished it off my adding some Creative Inspirations Paint in Fairy Dust to give the finished rainbow some shimmer!!

It's so easy and fun to use the paints to add such a nice finished touch to any project!!

Have a wonderful day!!

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:

Mixed Media - Bugs and Butterflies

Hi CIP fans and followers!  I've been busy with a little challenge with a friend, so I thought I'd share some of that today.  Some are not so easy to see with a glare, and the lesson I learned was not to seal the pieces before taking a photo!  For a clearer look, please feel free to check out the video on my YT channel: HERE.  I've used a ton of shimmery paints from the Creative Inspirations Paint store, and you can probably tell that we were working on bugs and butterflies.  The colors used through the seven pieces combined are: Winter Frost, Fairy Dust, Buttercup, Sunshine, Evergreen, Emerald, Onyx, Tickled Pink, Burnt Sienna, Sky Blue, and Aqua Marine.  I've also used some Angel Dust to add a glittered layer to one piece. 

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

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!

Listen to your Heart... use CI Paints! ;)

Hooray, it's Friday! I'm so happy that the weekend is finally here! Today I have a tag to share with you that I created for a banner setup I put together to hold cards and tags in our house. All it consists of is a long piece of twine with miniature clothes hangers along it to display the cards and tags. I change out the cards and tags depending on the time of the year and seasons. It is really working out well and is one of our favorite spots in the house. :) 

Believe it or not, there are quite a few CI Paints on this little tag. A lot of colors were used on the background of the tag which I first covered with Mod Podge and various pieces of old ledger pages. After the pieces had dried I applied Carmel, Blush, Rose Quartz Tickled Pink and some Beige paints. The girl was cut out out from a card I had received in a scrapbook kit years ago that I saved in hopes I would some day use. I finally did! I used Fairy Dust on her crown, Sea Foam and Coal on her eyes, and some Autumn Wheat on her wings. Beige and Antique copper were used on the girl's dress. After all of the paints had dried, I used a stencil and some Light Modeling paste to make the hearts which I covered in Deliquesce Super Sparkle Pink and then heat gunned. As a final step, I used my sketch pen to trace around the girl, hearts and sticker phrase. 

Look at all of the sparkle and glimmer of the Deliquesce on the hearts! I love it! 

You can see some more of the shimmer of the background and her dress here. 

 Once again, I have a collage of all of the Creative Inspirations Paint products used in my project today. 

I hope you have enjoyed my tag today. I will see you soon!

A Joyful Canvas

Good morning and Happy Christmas Eve to everyone! I hope you are all ready for tomorrow and are able to spend some quality time with your loved ones and friends. 

I wanted to make today's post quick since everyone is preparing for the big day tomorrow, or already in the middle of some festivities! 

Today's project is a canvas I made for my boyfriends mom, Joy. She loves Christmas, and has one of the most beautifully decorated houses I have ever seen! Since her name is Joy and ornaments and decorations with the word Joy are in abundance this time of year, she has a tree decorated entirely with Joy ornaments. Also, there are various pieces of art around the home that have the words Joy on them. Which is why I made this canvas. The Joy isn't just the word joy, it is Joyeux Noel. We don't remember her having many French phrases around the house, so I thought this would be cute. 

As you can see it has lots of Creative Inspirations Paint on it. The background, tree, tree trunk, and tree top are covered in CIP goodies! There are even some jewels on the Joyeux Noel. 

I used the following paints and jeweled inspirations on the canvas: 

Thank you so so much for stopping in today from your busy schedule!! I will see you again after the New Year!!! 

Merry Christmas!!!! 

If you would like to get some paints before the start of the new year, remember that everything in the CIP store is 10% off!!! 

Wine Tag

This week's challenge is TAGS!!

Join in, we'd love to see what you create!

I honestly, just have really gotten into making tags this year, they are so easy and fun to make!

I recently created this wine tag to go on a bottle of wine I am bringing to my mother-in-law's house for Christmas!

I added some Fairy Dust to the Poinsettia, to give it some beautiful shimmer!

Along with adding Rustic Red to the flourish:

Just LOVE the shimmer!!

A friendly reminder, letting you know that all CI Products are currently 10% off!!

Have a nice day!!
