Hi Bloggers.
I have shows today on Create & Craft at 10am (with Martyn) and 3pm (with Dean). Hope you can join me.
Today we're launching 9 new colours of Cosmic Shimmer (I should have them in stock in my Amazon Store by the end of the week). They work brilliantly with the latest masks from That Special Touch.
Here, I've mixed Antique Rose and Lavender Mist Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Texture Pastes together on my Craft Sheet and applied them through the
Dainty Daisy Mask.
I've prepared some swatches so you can see all the colours and how the colours within the bundles can be mixed together.
From left to right - Antique Rose, Vivid Violet and Lavender Mist.
They look stunning on Black Card. Hopefully, the cameras at the studio will pick up the colours better than my camera.
So, below are mixes of the above colours through the
Art Deco Mask. Top left = Antique Rose + Lavender Mist, Top Right = Lavender Mist + Vivid Violet, Bottom Left = Antique Rose + Vivid Violet, Bottom Right = All 3 colours.
From left to right, Rose Copper, Rich Plum and Emerald.
Top Left = Rich Plum + Emerald, Top Right = Rose Copper + Emerald, Bottom Left = Rich Plum + Rose Copper, Bottom Right = All 3 colours
From Left to Right, Berry Red, Penny Copper and Perriwinkle.
Top Left = Penny Copper + Berry Red, Top Right = Penny Copper + Perriwinkle, Bottom Left = Berry Red + Perriwinkle, Bottom Right = All 3 colours.
As I mentioned yesterday, I have some favourite Justrite stamps back on the show. I raided Sue's room back at CE HQ and have grabbed a load of her samples to show again. Unfortunately, I was unable to find her samples from Butterfly Dreams and Sunflower Vintage Labels Five. So, I've had a hunt through her blog and you can find some cards of those
here and
here. Please note - the search does pick up some samples which don't use the sets!
Here's another couple of examples of Sparkle Texture Paste mixes -
Rich Plum and Penny Copper with the
Bloom Mask
Perriwinkle and Emerald with the Flower Garden Mask
Emerald and Berry Red with the Bloom Mask
Obviously, there are lots more colour combos especially if you bring in some of the original colours. Also, don't forget you can mix in Dye Ink, Misters, Mica Powder, Shimmer Paint.
In response to the comment on the post yesterday about Amazon Store stock updates - I did post a card as usual yesterday at 6am so scroll back to find it if you missed it.
Hope you can join me later.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

Hi Julia. Gorgeous card, It is so pretty : ) I agree with Bridget about the boards, so good to see both black and white ones, it helps me to see them "in use" rather than just in the pot. I love how you have shown them today, the masks are beautiful. Thank you for all of the work that you put into making the boards, bet you enjoyed playing with all of the gorgeous colours though Julia : ) It is still hard to choose but I think it will be the Berry Red, Penny Copper and Perriwinkle bundle first for me. I will be watching the shows and I hope you enjoy yourself : )
ReplyDeleteTake care

There must be simply hundreds of colour combos with these pastes Julia. Love the Emerald and Periwinkle mix, a gorgeous result. Looking forward to your shows. Pat x
ReplyDeleteThe colours are great. Love the swatches.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia,
ReplyDeleteMissed the Show AGAIN. Gas fitter called to discuss moving a radiator just as I was settling down! Typical. Today's posts are gorgeous Julia. Thanks so much for the details and the lovely clear photos! You're a star! Don't know whether to wait until I've seen the Show or order now.
Thanks so much,
Love Myra
Managed to watch show this morning before engineer called to sort out computer. Will record pm show and watch later. Just love the paste and how you have mixed the colours. Difficult to choose what colours to start with. Helen
ReplyDeleteI really must get some of these pastes, as I think they would look lovely on Christmas cards.
ReplyDeleteI am now going to watch your shows from C&C today
Hugs to all
Michelle xxxx
Hi Julia, great shows on C & C you really seemed to enjoy yourself, not too sure about trying these pastes with my little Grandson aged 7 around, but he does like making cards even though he says using the G C is hard work!

Hi Julai
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow such beautiful masks and such beautiful colours on the pastes. All the cards you have made are absolutely stunning.
Hi Julia, watched both shows and really enjoyed them, I'm just started to build a collection of Just Right stamps and dies, I think they do some great sets. Thanks for the demo on how to stamp the big background stamps, I've got one and wasn't very successful when I tried to stamp it but will have another go now.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed both of todays shows Julia. Love the colours of that texture past -just wish I could afford it!! Do you know if it is possible to add some sort of colour to the diamond one to get different colours?
ReplyDeleteThe cards today were all lovely.
Janet in Kent
Stunning cards, love the bling in the texture paste.x
ReplyDeleteLoved the shows on Create and Craft, Julia, and did write in - to ask a question - but my email never got read out, so now I've found your blog I'm going to ask here:
ReplyDeleteWhat masking tape do you use?
The tape I use pulls bits off the card - even though I've dragged it over or stuck it several times it on my tops, (and even stuck it to my cheeks in the hopes of it picking up a little oil from the skin and so making it less sticky) - but it stays sticky enough to sometimes completely destroy something I'm making so I have to start all over again. (This particularly happens when I'm using my die cutting machine).
But ... I've noticed that your tape comes away cleanly and easily - so I'm hoping that you'll be able to help with the problem
Brilliant show yesterday by the way!
