Color Bloom Spray Inks Did Something Wonderful

Color Bloom spray inks can do what?

I’m a big fan of spray inks and when there is a new one I have to try it out.  I bought some Color Bloom spray inks and started playing.  They sprayed fine. The big handle was easy to use. They had some shimmer.  But there was one way they were far superior to other spray inks I’ve used – and that is with a stamp.   Check out the video to see how I used the spray ink with a stamp.

Watch Stamping with Color Bloom Spray Inks on YouTube.

Here’s the forgotten art journal page from YEARS ago…I feel in love with it at this point making it too precious and then it was forgotten.  Until now.

Colors Blooms worked so much better on a stamp than any of my other spray inks.

I love the large sheets of stamps by Kari McKnight Holbrook.  Of course, I could cut them into individual stamps but there is something I adore about stamps that are so large.

I had to add words to this…you know me.  I picked the words that matched the message the stamped woman was speaking to me.

Featured on Mixed Media May

on
A Colorful Journey

This Colorful Journey is courtesy of the pun filled mind of my daughter let loose on Photoshop…but now back to our regular programing…

I am honored to be featured over at Mixed Media May!  It is a blog created by Cindy Lantier for the month of May that features interviews with a new artist each day.

We were all given the exact same questions, but it is really interesting to read each artist’s response.  My favorite question of them all (both to write and to read each artist’s response) was, “How has art impacted or enhanced your life?”

On the last day of the month, there is a huge giveaway with all sorts of goodies…I’m giving a spot in Stencil Play to one lucky person!

So come on over to check out all the wonderful artists featured!

What am I teaching?  Freedom From Fear

We’ll play without any fear or judgment while creating including how to get past the intimidation of the blank page, how to thwart the fear that rises up after you’ve started, and how to find the freedom in the imperfections.

Mysterious secret tool to thwart fear when art journaling

I am using a new secret weapon to find freedom from fear when creating.  This secret weapon can be found in every town since it isn’t an art supply.  It isn’t fancy.  The only place I’ll be revealing this secret is in 21 Secrets Fall!

  • $69 for buyers 51-150
  • $79  for buyers 151-300
  • $89 for buyers 301-500
