Colour splash spray Inspiration

Good Morning crafty folks,

This is Sharada Dilip here to share a few of my Colour Splash Inspiration as the

Itsy Bitsy Challenge 3 is Anything goes using Colour splash sprays .

I have been playing with sprays and cant get to do without them these days?

Have you tried them? aren't they awesome ??

The colours are soo nice soothing and bright and the white card stocks are just in love with it !!

These work best on paper, card stock, water color paper, handmade paper, fabric, burlap & other porous surfaces.

Here are my Colour splash spray Inspiration

For my First creation I have played along with the irregular dot stencils and 2 colours -

Lime and Ocean Mist sprays

I have used white card stocks as the base and layered the stencil and sprayed them unevenly to create my own background .

I let it dry and later added Handmade flowers and my favourite stickers !!

For my Second creation I have played along with Ocean mist spray and periwinkle shade of color splash spray along with Honey comb stencil ! Isn't the effect and blending of these two colors amazing !

Once my background was dry and ready to work on I stamped the butterflies in black .

I have hand stamped and heat embossed the sentiments and added them to the card with double sided tape to give it dimension .

I totally enjoyed creating these background with sprays and stencils !

In addition to these cards I have made a Christmas ornament , with these sprays to create a bright background on canvas

For the ornament I began with the Mini canvas and layered it with gesso .

after it died , I have textured it with script stencil and later sprayed ocean mist and Lime splash green to give it shading .

Once they are dry to work on I have layered a border and adhered the Christmas theme stickers !!

I am fascinated with the glittery reindeer's and couldn't resit using up all my Christmas stickers

I hope I have inspired you all enough, will love to drop in at your blog and see your creations with Our Color splash sprays

warm regards
Sharada Dilip

Stencils are so popular in papercrafting & ITSY BITSY has a huge range too! I think stencils are versatile tools & can be used in card making, mixed media, decoupage, home decor, gift wrapping, etc in so many different ways! Today I will share some ideas for card making.

I have not 1, not 2 but 6 cards to share. So sit back relax & enjoy!

CARD 1

Lets begin with a card using a basic background technique. Gold & black a color palette which is always classy! For this card I have used Mont Marte gold dimensional paint & the leaf stencil. The sentiment on vellum is heat embossed.

CARD 2

The brick stencil here is partially flat (distress ink - picket fence) & partially dimensional (modelling paste). The die cut leaves are painted with Mont Marte silver dimensional paint.

CARD 3

This is a simple but bright background using distress inks festive berries & abandoned coral. The die cut butterfly also in the same shades & for the leaves colored with color splash sprays

CARD 4

For the next card I made a very subtle background & the focus here is on the die cut bird (colored with color splash) & the sentiment. The gold striped washi & bright bird brings alive this card.

CARD 5

To create this bright background I rubbed the distress ink pads directly on the card stock, after which I placed the irregular dots stencil & sprayed water over it. Place a tissue to soak all the excess water & you have this beautiful texture! The flowers were popped using the inlaid diecut technique to add some interest!

CARD 6

And finally for this card I have masked the floral stencil to create a triangle shape with washi tape & sponged only within the masked region!

This brings us to the end of this post. Remember you have until November 25th, 2016 to link up your entries!

Hugs,

Tanvi
