Ken Oliver Color Burst Trios

Hi Scrap Shotz Friends!

Rosie here with a couple of projects to show you using the Ken Oliver-Color Burst Trios Ocean Waves. 

Here you can see the Color Bursts themselves along with the Altenew Delicate Flower Bed stamp set used to create the card fronts. I'll show you the cards themselves in my second post, this post will focus on the process of creating the backgrounds with the supplies.

So, what are Color Burst powders? They are a concentrated powder that reacts with water and can be used in a number of ways. They can be added to water and sprayed over water colour card stock and mixed with water, painted on a clear stamping block and "smooshed" on water colour card stock in addition to the techniques shared below.

1. Apply water to your water colour paper, drop a small amount of powder and then spritz with a water sprayer to spread the color. Add the remainder of the trio as desired, you can also pick up the paper and tip it side to side to move the color around. This results in the panel on the bottom left of the photo above.

2. Drop the 3 colours of powder into separate wells of a pallette, add water to the wells.  

Paint water over a piece of water colour paper, apply the color trio in large bands.

3. Stamp the Altenew Delicate Flower Bed stamp with embossing ink on water colour paper-masking off a portion with 1" painters tape, cover wet ink with Emerald Creek Glacier White embossing powder and heat set.

Using the Ocean Waves Colour Burst Trios, apply colour to the embossed images with a small paintbrush.

Here's the trio of completed media:

Stay tuned for my second post to see the completed projects! 

Thanks for stopping by!
