Let me show you the world in my eyes
Can you see that texture?!?!?!
Let me tell you – DesignIt paste from Colourcraft UK is amazing!
I put it into a lace mould (one for cake decorating), gave it a couple of hours to dry and… a detailed, flexible lace came out!
All the colours are Metallic Aztec Paints by Colourcraft C&A Ltd – the project can out so much better than expected.
Here’s my tutorial:

A crafty friend of mine, Mark Gould, is an extremely talented man. He’s an accomplished mixed media teacher who has recently released his own stamps. I couldn’t resist and purchased one of them, called ‘Gypsy Rose’.
To colour the stamp, I used Brusho powders.
They have also been used to create the background on the canvas.
You can watch my process here:
I hope you enjoyed it.
See you next time!

I have used Stencil girl Trio Of Thorns stencil and Colourcraft Aztec Eco Metallic paints. The apron is from Canvas Corp.

I love playing with Brusho powders as you can never 100% predict the final result.
Today, I decided to go one step further in my play and use them on a waxed background (it created beautiful colourful droplets!!!) and mixed with the Brusho Thickener (it became a see-through glaze which I run through a stencil). All this topped up with some floral die-cuts with Architextures papers and … a wild garden it is!
Thanks for stopping by!
I have been invited as a guest designer to play with metal and fabric embellishments from Xanderous Craft Stash and this is my second project for them – a small canvas on a deep frame.
To create the background I used Brusho powders but to create the spotty design I drew all over the canvas with a Brusho Wax Crayon to stop the pigment from soaking into the fabric. After sprinkling the powders all over the canvas, I sprayed them with water which created loads of colourful water drops – I left them to air dry as using a heat-gun would have pushed all together and ruined the effect.
You can see the whole background and close-ups of the project in the slideshow below:
Enjoy!
Colourcraft is a UK based manufacturer of a variety of crafting products but I think they are most known for Brusho powders – the little pots of pigment magic.
I wanted to see how they would react with untreated canvas so I dug up a set of mini canvas tags that I got from Canvas Corp and started to play – you can see the step-by-step tutorial as well as a video in my post on the Colourcraft blog.
