Shimmery 'Angel Dust' Christmas Ornament

Hi Everyone,

I'm just popping back quickly, to show a quick ornament created for Christmas.  It was created with the new release dies from Cheery Lynn Designs, and I heavily embellished with the most beautiful shimmer, of Angel Dust Glitter. 

Angel Dust is perfect for using on Christmas creations of all types, and would look 

wonderful as snow! 

My whole work area is full of shimmer, glimmer and so am I, after my cat stalked over my desk and took off with my glitter bag!  LOL

Till next time

Hi Everyone,

My post today, will be my last one as a design team member for Creative Inspirations Paint.  However, you'll still see me pop in from time to time with a creative project of some type - so its not really goodbye :-)  

You know me, I love vintage, so had to create something a little more old worldly.  The ribbon was painted with splashes of Chocolate, Burnt Sienna and Tan - love how you can colour 'anything' with this wonderful product - just a simple zap to heat-set in the microwave and an iron, and away you go! 

Of course, dare I say 'GOLD' has been added liberally (nothing new) to the flowers, some fully coated and others only the edges of petals.  Chocolate highlights the carnations.  The corrugated cardboard beneath the image has been washed with Ivory.  Oh my that Ivory is stunning on the corrugated board, and really leaves the most glorious shimmer.

Soon the new design team members will be announced and I am sure they will bring many wonderful creations to inspire everyone.  

Thank you to Kendra, and my fellow team-mates for being such a fabulous support throughout my term, and to Molly for creating a truly fantastic product...

Forever, Mini Album..

This month, for Creative Inspirations Paint I have created a mini album - this project has been in the making for some time, and it is finally nice to have it completed.  I have taken close up photographs at times, to enhance and show the beautiful, shimmery detail of the paints.

The album is a very special one, as it contains memories of my brother, Paul, who is no longer with us.

Throughout the album, I have painted various elements including flowers, chipboard, die-cut doilies, foliage and so forth..... giving the pages, a real spark of shimmer.  I love the 'Gold' in the Creative Inspirations Paint line, it would have to be one of my favourites, that I used ALL the time. Flowers were brushed with Pink Highlights... really bringing them to life...

Cheery Lynn Design die cut elements above, washed in 'Gold'.

Imaginarium Designs Chipboard 'Forever' looks magical, painted in 'Gold'...

More 'Gold'.... oops...can't help myself in the 'gold'...

Pink Highlights, washed over paper elements used throughout the album, to add a beautiful finishing touch.

Sage washed over foliage, again... Gold highlighted over die-cuts..

Close up, looks like I missed places, but I haven't!  :-)

Even edges of book, tags, and rose edges, touched with 'Gold'...

Hope you enjoyed ... my 'special' album... now I'm off to journal 'memories' which I treasure with all my heart....

I Miss You Card

Don't forget this month, Creative Inspirations Paint are celebrating their 3rd birthday, and celebrating with 10% off all orders - so do jump on over to the Creative Inspirations Paint website and 'see' all the wonderful products that are available, and stock up!

This week, for Creative Inspirations Paint I have created a card for a dear friend back in South Australia who I miss dearly.  As most know, I am 'new' to colouring in, so please bare with me as I learn the lurks and perks of this wonderful art-form.  Keeping in the lines at times, is a little difficult, with such small areas, but I'm slowly getting better!

All the beautiful shimmer I have tried to capture in the photographs, with the image first being coloured and then Pink Highlights paint added, for instant shine. Resplendence Angel Dust was used on lace areas of the image and also around outer edge of card, looks so pretty and even more so in 'real'.

The leaf beads were also painted firstly with Emerald and then wiped off, so the paint soaked into the veins of the leaves.  Then a wash of Sage was added across the whole leaf.

Have a fantastic week

Mini Album and Birthday SALE

Creative Inspirations Paint is celebrating their birthday, and there will be a SALE, with 10% off all products for the whole of August.  If you need to re-stock some of your paints, or try them for the first time, now is the time to do so....

This week for Creative Inspirations Paint I have created a mini album from toilet roll holders.  The mini album fits neatly into a soap box which I altered, and can be viewed at the bottom of this post. 

Flower and leaf elements were coloured using Creative Inspirations Paint, in the colours of Olive Green, Antique Gold, Blush, and TuTu Pink. 

The shimmer of the paints is just beautiful, and even more so in 'real'.

The main cover flower, has been painted using TuTu Pink and brushed with Blush, then further highlighted with Resplendence Angel Dust.  My gosh, the glimmer of the paint and Angel Dust is just beautiful...

The box (old soap box originally), hosts 3 hand-made pencils created from kitchen skewers and painted with Creative Inspirations Paint - Green Olive, TuTu Pink and Gold.

 The paints worked so well in creating real pencils - not that they draw!!

'Mother' Layout

This is a special photograph of John's Mother, Georgina.  Georgina is an amazing lady at the age of 81, and her life story is just so amazing - I could sit and listen to it over and over.  You see, she is alive today due to escaping Berlin, and then skiing out of Austria many years ago.  In her group of friends that attempted this, very few survived.  

So I created a layout for Georgina, using Creative Inspirations Paints to illuminate the beautiful papers and embellishments.  Sadly, the roses no matter how hard I tried, would not show their true colours - they are not 'that' dark in reality.

There is a lot of Creative Inspirations Paints within this layout. The lace, has been painted with 'Gold', just lightly brushed over to add a shimmer and age it a little. Chipboard elements have been painted using Copper, the edges of each butterfly (including the background paper) have been edged in Gold - just a touch around very edges. 

The flowers have all been coloured or highlighted using a variety of colours - they look amazing in real and I am sure if you click on and enlarge the photographs, you can see more detail of that beautiful shimmer that Creative Inpsirations Paints produces.

The Prima Vine was a real lolly pink colour, after a wash of Raw Sienna, Copper and a touch of Gold - voila new flowers.  Also, the leaves were coloured too, ridding of the original brightness.  So, don't be afraid of re-vamping items in your stash you are no longer keen on!  Creative Inspirations Paints can cover as much of the previous colour as you wish - a light swish of the brush for subtle tones, or several layers to completely cover.  The best part, the paint dries quickly...

With Love - Card

This fortnight's project has been created using a lovely paper range from Kaisercraft, and enhanced fully using the beautiful paints by Creative Inspirations Paint.

Each element within the card has been coloured using a variety of paint colours.  Paint was applied from a very light wash, to a more heavy wash.  Several colours were applied together, especially for the leaves (Gold, Sage, and Green Olive) to enhance the leaves futher. 

A list of all colours can be found in my supplies list.

...and of course I had to use my very favourite 'Resplendence' Angel Dust, which really adds such a beautiful, unique finishing touch to a project.  I applied with a brush, a light application of Helmar Gemstone Glue to where I wanted the sparkle, and then sprinkled the 'Angel Dust' over the card.

I took the photographs on different angles to try and attempt to capture the beautiful shimmer of the Creative Inspirations Paint and Angel Dust. 

I'm not the best 'stamper' and 'colourer' (is that even a word lol).... so I wanted to showcase the use of these amazing paints as a way to enhance general cards, made from a paper-set.

Happy creating/painting...

Memory Book 'Page' with Chipboard Elements and Tag

This fortnight for Creative Inspirations Paint, I thought I would show my 'work in progress' on my Memory Album.  This is one of the pages inside where the torn/distressed edges were painted with 'Gold', allowing for a really aged appearance. 

I'm not the best stamper (learning the art), so I tried to attempt to create an embossed image, which was not really sucessful, but practice will make perfect.  Sadly, I cannot tell you which colours in the 'Deliquesce' range I used, as I packed them up before writing them down (with the thought of throwing my tag out).  I played around a little with using the Denium and Sky Blue Creative Inspirations Paints on the background, trying to meld one into the other. The more I played, the more I liked it, so thus, my tag did not end up in the bin.

The silk ribbon was painted with straight Denium, and here and there a touch of Blush.  

The Imaginarium Designs chipboard butterfly was painted using the Sky Blue, then touched (while still wet) with Denium, blending the two together.  I am unsure what the green spot is, must be something spilled onto the chipboard before painting.  It does not show in real, only in the photographs!

I used a lone Prima Marketing flower in white, painting it in the same colours as the tag - Denium and Sky Blue. A light touch of the paintbrush to the edges of each layer of the flower with the Denium paint, gave more definition and character.  Before the paint totally dried (you have to work quick as it does dry fairly quickly) I rolled the flower in Resplendence 'Angel Dust' - my new favourite in the Creative Inspirations Range.  Oh my goodness, it is sooooo delightful, the colours are beyond amazing and a little, goes a very long way.

Applying Gold to the edges of the actual book, and then the torn/distressed edges gave a beautiful shimmer, and replicates an older era of 'book'.

Angel Card

The beautiful stamp set 'Lace, Take One Step' (JS342) was painted using Creative Inspiration Paints in Amethyst, and Plum.  The angel wings were covered using Helmar's Acid Free Adhesive, then sprinkled with Resplendence Angel Dust. The Angel Dust is amazing, such glorious shimmer!  I was going to add some of the Angel Dust across the flowers, but wanted the 'wings' to really stand out.

The roses/flowers were painted with Silver Frost just on the edges, and the bottom petals,and the foliage too.  No matter what the colour the Silver Frost is painted over, it gives a glorious shimmer, and I adore the way the flowers shine.

I added tiny glass lilac seed beads to the lace using Gemstone Glue. In the right light, they shine, especially with the beautiful Amethyst and Plum CIP's - I will be definitely be playing around with more beads in the near future.

Altered Candle Holder, Lace and Flower Painting

Last week I happily experimented with Creative Inspiration Paints - using Lace and Flowers.  Sadly, my photos do not give off that beautiful shimmer, I can see in reality.  However, clicking on each photograph enlarges and reveals a lot 'more'.
 PLEASE NOTE:  I have altered this candle holder and it is now not intended for use with a flame, but instead, a battery operated device! 

 I experimented on various types of laces - cotton was fantastic, but boy did it soak in the paint and the colours were extremely vibrant.  When it came to my favourite choice of lace, guipure, I opted to water the mixture right down and the results were perfect, still maintaining the shimmer.  Of course for my project for Creative Inspiration Paints, I used a brighter hue than my normal tastes, as I really wanted the colours to show in my blog posts.  I must add, I certainly am not disappointed that I opted for the brighter version!

The longer, guipure lace was painted in 3 different hues of pink to generate a variegated appearance - from darker to lightest pink: 'Tickled Pink', 'Blush' and 'TuTu Pink'. 

The flowers are from 'I am Roses' and they are beautiful to work with in any genre. Each flower was painted using 'Pink Highlights' which gave incandescent results.  So pretty!  The lace leaves I had previously already hand-dyed and were in my stash - though they still received a splash of Olive Green paint, 

with gorgeous results.

I highly suggest these beautiful paints if you have not tried them previously, as they really allow a huge amount of scope in the creating field.  

Each month on the Creative Inspirations Blog, entrants to the weekly challenge have a chance to win a selection of paints.  There is no requirement for using the paints in your entries, however,  if you 'do', and list the colour names, your name will go into the draw twice. 

Have a great day

Sweet Stamps - Pretty In Pink Card

Hi Everyone,

I have had a fantastic week in painting up a wonderful array of gorgeous silk ribbons, using Creative Inspiration Paints!  I have tried to capture the glimmer of the paints in my photographs, and hopefully they show enough. I am so pleased with how the silk ribbon turned out and urge anyone who loves playing with colouring their own embellishments, to give it a try. I applied TuTu Pink paint to the ribbon.

The image on my card creation for Creative Inspiration Paints is from Sweet Stamps. This particular stamp is called 'Watercan Girl'.  It is a beautiful image and even though I am not a stamper and only 'learning' the art of colouring, I am pleased with how it turned out.

In the above photograph, I tried to capture the shimmer of the image after applying Creative Inspiration Paints.  The below photograph is a close up of all the gorgeous shimmer!
