A little playing today.......

Well, it was yesterday really, just finished off today. Hi to all the Peeps! I hope you are all settling into the new year well - and keeping warm/cool/safe where-ever you are at the moment!

A few days ago I received a package in the mail containing some Colorburst Powders, by Ken Oliver. Rather than look at the many YouTube videos and the websites/blogs where these are talked about and demonstrated, I just dove in there and had a go. I used a piece of Stampin' Up Natural White card for my experiments, and a strip of Whisper White card.

I first just sprayed/spritzed water onto the card and then puffed the paint powder onto it - it's a bit of a hit and miss this, and the paper has to be quite wet for the powder to react, so I ended up with some thickish bits of powder in places and no reaction, so had to spritz it again When I put te powder down and then spritzed it - lovely sprinkles occurred. 

This is the centre of the mess - love the vibrancy of the colours but obviously I needed to have less powder and perhaps mop up some water sooner?

Took it outside and put it in the sun to dry although later I dried some with the heat gun - again slightly different effect achieved. 

I cut a piece out of the A4 and created a card using a Freebie stamp set called Fairy Dust - not sure which magazine, sorry 

The fairy was stamped and fussy cut - boy was that tedious - and then I added gold and Stickles and I treated her wings to Glass Bead Glitter Gel and curled them up at the ends

I embossed the fairy dust with gold EP

It does look great IRL but a little dark

I will now go and read the blogs and watch the YouTubes!

I will enter this in the following:
