Disco Puffin?!

Hello!
Anyone else remember that deeply cheesy song in the seventies called Disco Duck? I have absolutely no idea why, but it was playing in a loop in my head over the weekend! So, rather than ignore it, I decided to use it as inspiration for my project this week.
Now, I have no duck stamps, so may I present......Disco Puffin!!!

(This could also be titled 'random ways to use Washi tape', but I don't think that's as catchy.....)

The whole disco bling look is captured perfectly with the metallic Washi tape... I used the dotty tape for the disco podium floor..

As the dots are random, you can put multiple strips of tape side by side, and they look fabulous!
The silver striped tape goes around the sides of the podium...

I didn't take it off it's backing paper before wrapping it around the base (an empty ribbon spool) I wanted an opaque look rather than transparent, and liked the sturdiness of the tape + backing, rather than the thin tissue like tape once peeled off!
Disco Puffin is also sporting gold glitter go go boots....

I'm not even mentioning the glitter pole.... what Disco Puffin does in the disco, stays in the disco.....

LOVE this tape....and I may even break the habit of a lifetime and get my hands on the matching papers! (ssshhhhh...don't tell anyone I said that!!)

Have a fabulous day!

Color Bloom Sprays (and a puffin!)

Hello!
My mojo had really gone walkabout this week...until a rather exciting package arrived, a few of the new Color Bloom sprays! Of course I had to have a little play......

First thing I LOVE about the sprays is the spray mechanism....no more stained fingers! They say the nozzle will not become clogged, fingers crossed on that point. The sprays also have a little ball inside, so when you shake to mix up the mica you can hear the mixing going on! Squeezing the nozzle hard gives a really nice overall coverage. I used the Glistening Waves colour for the background on my panel, with the Lime Wedge as accent splats....

Squeezing the nozzle very gently gives the bigger splat effect. I found that the colour of the Lime Wedge really varied, the green was so much more noticeable when used to give full coverage, the splats (as you can see) are very gold! I added in some white splats of my own, by using white UTEE, and by stamping in white paint, using a Stampotique stamp.
The sheen of the Color Bloom Sprays is difficult to see.....it becomes a bit more obvious if I tile the cardstock...

You can really see the difference between the matt white paint stamping and the mica sheen of the sprays!
I added in a little text paper and some home made washi tape...

I didn't have any blue tape, so painted and stamped a bit of regular masking tape!
My Crafty Individuals Puffin is stamped onto patterned paper. I usually use this paper as a photo prop, but I decided to see what it looks like stamped on....definitely going to do it again! The paper is a dotty one from Bazzill.

I do like adding in different coloured crowns to my creations, and this is no exception! Stamped again onto red card, cut out then glossed with a touch of Glossy Accents.
So, mojo well and truly back now, will be spraying all manner of things!
Have a great day,
Trish xxx
