Art Journal - Deep Blue Sea

Hi CIP followers!  I'm sharing an art journal page with you today where I've used lots of shimmery CIP colors with my doodles.  The Rose Quartz (between lettering), Sea Foam (between lettering), and Sapphire (background) have all been thinned with water for more of a water color effect.  The other paints I've used in this project are Blue Ice, Copper, Antique Copper, Antique Gold, Buttercup and Garnet.  Each of these items can be found in the Creative Inspirations Paint store.

Here is a better look at the Buttercup tail and background colors:

Inspired By: Mother's Day

Hi CIP fans!  Dana here today sharing a tag for the Mother's Day challenge theme. I am lucky enough to live close to a strawberry patch and always make fresh strawberry jam for the special mothers in my life. I found this super cute Mason Jar Stamp Set and made a jar-shaped tag for my jam.  I colored my stamped image with Creative Inspirations Paint in Garnet, Sunshine and Ice Blue.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms!

Pretty in Sea Foam

Hi there CIP fans!  I've made a card for any occasion to share with you today, and of course I've used lots of shimmer from the Creative Inspirations Paint store.  The image is accented with Inspirations paint in Sea Foam, as well as a touch of Blue Ice.  The larger flower is painted in the Sea Foam, and the scalloped background she's on is in Burnt Clay.  I finished the card off with the Burnt Clay on the two small roses to tie everything together.

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!!! 

CIP - Sky Blue Sleigh

Hello CI Paint fans! 

For today's project I've painted a wooden sleigh with Creative Inspirations Paint, and added some of the Jeweled Inspirations bling (SS30 Clear and SS34 Clear).  I started off by using the Sky Blue paint, and added a layer of the Blue Ice paint over it.  Love that bit of shimmery white it has added.  The runners/blades are painted in Antique Silver.  The sleigh is filled with bits and pieces of pine, silver, and white.

All My Love

Hi CIP fans!  Dana here today sharing a clean and simple card that I created with some leftover flower packaging and some odds and ends from my stash.  The brilliant rhinestones are Clear Jeweled Inspirations.

I used Coal to stamp my sentiment as well as the heart, which I then colored in Garnet.  I added some shimmer to my flower petals with Blue Ice and Winter Frost.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Home Sweet Home

Happy Saturday friends! I hope you are all enjoying your weekend! Emily here today with a quick share of a mini canvas I made using some wonderful Creative Inspirations Paint! 

I made this adorable canvas last night using remnants of a Studio Calico kit, some 3 Girl Jam crinkle ribbon, stamps, tissue paper and loads of CIP paints! 

These are the colors used in the canvas today...

Below are more close ups and angles.... 

See the tissue paper on the canvas? I used a similar technique to the recent tutorial by Kassi using tissue paper that you can find in the tutorials section HERE. Instead of using a sheet of tissue paper, I tore pieces of it off and layered them on top of one another to create clouds. This is a really fun technique to use on your projects for added texture. 

Thank you so much for stopping in on this Saturday! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!

An Adoring Canvas

Hello to you all this Monday, I hope it is going well! Emily here today to share a canvas I created using loads of Creative Inspirations Paint along with some Deliquesce embossing powder. 

The following paints and powder were used in today's canvas:

Creative Inspirations Paint

I used a 6"x12" stretched canvas. I primed it with Gesso before using my acrylic paints to paint the background and heart image. After the acrylics dried, I added my Creative Inspirations Paint in Tanzanite, Denium, Coal and Ice Blue all over the canvas by layering each color on and mixing them in various places, except for the red heart.

 I just wasn't happy with the heart not having any dimension, so I added tissue paper, modeling paste and some heavy body acrylics to it. After it had all dried and hardened fully, I used more acrylic paints in red and then covered the acrylics with Rustic Red and Garnet Creative Inspirations Paint. 

As you can see, I also added various stamps all over the canvas, and also for the word "adore" on the heart. After "adore" was stamped, I went over the letters with my Faber Castell markers and then again with CI Paint in Coal. I also used my markers to trace around the heart as well as add some doodles to it. 

For a final touch I added Deliquesce Super Sparkle Pink embossing powder over the heart for even more sparkle and texture. 

In the close up shots below you can just see all of the sparkle! 

What's fantastic about these paints is that I can mix and layer them on my canvas for varying looks. :) You can do all sorts of fun things with these fantastic paints! Don't be afraid to mix things up!! 

Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy your day and be sure to get Creative! 

CI Paint - Sweet and Shimmery Card

Hi there Crafty Friends!  I'm Kimberly, and for my first official project on the CI Paint DT I chose to color a sweet little image and make a card.  I've used several fun colors from the expansive Creative Inspirations Paint line:  Carmel, Onyx, and Blue Ice.  I've also added a bit of clear glue along the edges of the flower I made, and sprinkled on some of the Resplendence Angel Dust glitter for even more sparkle.
