aloha 36

aloha! I hope you are having a great weekend! Today I have a couple of projects to share featuring a variety of beautiful and shimmering ColourArte Twinkling H20s. They are packaged in compact containers but they are full of intense and shimmering color. A little goes a long way! First up, is a page in my art journal featuring a happy faced Maui beach girl :) 

Here she is with just a few shades of ColourArte Twinkling H20s. I was so excited to start painting, I forgot to take a photo before I started to paint my sketch!

Not in love with her eyes as they seem to be flat and not quite animated and whimsical as I would like them to appear. Hopefully next time :)

I added lots of texture using a Prima stencil along with Prima Heavy White Gesso. The trio of shell flowers were made using shells from Scott's shell lei :)

The background and flowers were painted using the following colors of ColourArte Twinkling H20s: Stargazer, African Jade, Summer Breeze and the pretty beads are Prima Turquoise Glass Beads:

Next up is a greeting card featuring many of the same products:

Lots of layers, beads, a trio of painted blooms and seashells to carry on with the sea / beachy theme:

Lots of texture as well and a hand made banner and Martha Stewart doily:

I joined along with the following challenges:
Frilly and Funkie ~ Raise It Up! 
For card sketch inspiration ~ Cardabilities:

color inspiration for BOTH ~ Words & Paintery

theme inspiration ~ scrakki-wyzwaniowo ~ The Sea

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great day / evening!
Be Sweet ;)
