Hello Everyone,

Shilpa here,

As we have seen Imagine Crafts Fireworks sprays are so versatile, why don't we make a card with that..

And today I've come up with easy mixed media card,

yes I've step by step tutorial as well...

I love burst of colors!! 

I've used Prima Epiphany paper. I started with just spraying  different colors on surface.

I heat set them in between all layers with Ranger Heat tool.

Next I used Prima Finnabair stamp and Staz On Midi - Ganache for random stamping.

For texture, I used stencil and texture paste...

On another white card stock, I stamped butterfly with staz On midi and colored them with Bahama blue Fireworks spray....aren't those butterflies gorgeous!

I fussy cut butterflies and adhered on card. I also added half pearls for more interest.

Sentiment - Love is a die cut colored with fireworks ink.

It was easy and fun card to make... I finished it in half an hour!

Hope you are inspired ....would love to try it with Imagine Crafts Fireworks sprays

Hello Everyone,

Shilpa here,

As you know....I am sharing projects with Imagine crafts Fireworks Sprays, here on Color conception Blog....I wanted to try something different. So I played with Lulu Lavender ink spray on
 black surface....

It turned out awesome!!

Many spray ink colors won't be visible on black surfaces, but Firworks sprays are exceptions.


I started with black design papers from Prima Optimist collection. I cut them in pieces and adhered them as collage with Modge Podge, this is one of my favourite technique to create background.


For chevron texture I used Crafters Workshop Stencil and texture paste.  I added Prima Mica flakes, glass beads and small square cuts from Picture wheel die for more interest.
I applied black gesso for this and when it dried I spritzed Lulu Lavender Fireworks Spray onto it.


I cut out Picture wheel with Sizzix die, on that I adhered one metal flower ...colored all this with black gesso and spritzed Lulu Lavender.
I used Sizzix Tattered flower die to make the flower in center.


All the edges are of small squares are highlighted with Faber Castell big brush pen -black. Lastly I applied Inka gold Violet to highlight some areas.

Its fun to work on black surfaces with Fireworks inks... I will be trying my next color soon....do you?
Hope I inspired you to try Fireworks sprays and new technique.
Thanks so much  for stopping by.

Hello Everyone,

Shilpa here,

I am back with another project using Memento Firewoks spray inks.

If you have missed my earlier post with Fireworks Tips and techniques...you will find it here.

Now....its about today's mixed media funky house,

 I've altered MDF house

Let's see the process..

You know, how much I love to create texture... I applied Prima Art Basics Platinum crackle texture paste through stencil for the roof. Before that I primed the whole MDF house with gesso. Dried it completely.

On the wall, I created rough texture with Ranger Multi medium matt and palate knief

When all paste dried completely, I colored the walls with Bahama Blue Fireworks spray ink and door with Bamboo leaves Fireworks


I added handmade leaves and flowers on the roof...

 and near the front door. Adhered cute button as door knob...and my house is ready!

Fireworks are easy to work sprays and have some lovely range of colors in that cute little bottles.




If you are liking this, do try your Memento fireworks spray inks on different surfaces.

 Thanks So much for stopping by.

now...Let's see how I made this mixed media project,

For a base, I cut out DCWV card stock and adhered it to thick chipboard. Applied gesso to my surface, as I wanted to play with lot of mediums.

For background texture, I applied Prima Platinum Crackle texture paste through Prima Grungy Grid stencil. Awesome subtle crackles appeared after drying.

Another layer of texture with my fun collection. I had these wood veneer pieces and small round stones in my stash, I adhered them with Aleen's Glue.

another layer of Gesso, this step is important, as we are coloring the veneer pieces. Gesso works as base coat.

 

and here comes the Fireworks.. I've used Lulu lavender, Paris Dusk and Cottage Ivy colors. I spritzed water to spread the colors.

Next step is background texture stamping..I've used Finnabaire Rust and dust and Prima Epiphany stamp. Here I've used StazOn Midis in Midnight blue, Ganache and Cloudy sky becoz they are permanent inks..and do not spread if I add water on it.  

 Here is the close look...love the grungy effect created with stazon midi and stamps.

They stamped beautifully on sleek/glossy surfaces like veneer and did not smudge....loving them!

To define the edges of our texture, I bordered them with Faber Castell PIIT pens. I also applied

 Midnight blue ink with sponge to stone surfaces...I am customizing them according to project.

For interesting part of our project are these Crazy birds by Stampers Anonymous. I stamped them with Claret StazOn Midi and colored them with Lady bug Fireworks spary ink.

You will notice some design texture on them...it was an happy accident, I've used paper with Gel medium on it thinking it is black watercolor paper. It is from my last post with Gelli plate and Gel Medium...if you have missed it ..can find here.

 here are more close up views of my this project...
