One medium that we see our designers using again and again on our Invisibles and Clear Cuts specialty papers, as well as our new Just Add Color collection, is acrylic paints. Jillibean Soup has an awesome collection of Happy Hues paints, and they were generous enough to send a set of paints to our designers, as we knew they would pair up perfectly with our Bella products. All this week, we'll be sharing projects from our creative team, showing creative ways to incorporate paints onto your layouts and cards.
“Spunky Girl”, by Becki Adams.
I wanted to make this layout just as bright and bold and the little girl in these photos. I love that I can add my own color to the flowers in the Just Add Color collection. By adding my own colors I can give my projects an even more personal touch.
Supplies:
Just Add Color: Star Struck, Passcode, Plum Little Bits, Treasures & Text; Color Chaos: Just Write Journaling, Oreo Black Strandz, Treasures & Text; Ciao Chip Elements: WhatNots; Clear Cuts: Punch Confetti; Invisibles: Flower Fancy; Enamel Dots: McIntosh, Cotton Candy, Bell Pepper; Amorie Chipboard Alphas: Peep; Designer Tape: Gulf Dots
“Splash Of Color”, by Jennie McGarvey.
These Jillibean Soup Happy Hues are perfect with Bella Blvd's collections. I mean, Color Chaos + Just Add Color and beautiful paints?! They are begging to be used together. So, that is just what I did. I used these paints in a variety of ways. I first envisioned painting on the backside of the Punch Confetti Clear Cut, so I did! (Then I adhered a die cut piece of patterned paper over it.) I also wanted to use the same Ink Splat die cut as a mask to paint on the background sheet of cardstock. Lastly, I HAD to use the paint on the Just Add Color sheets! First coloring in the flowers (gorgeous!) but also highlighting words that go perfectly with my page. These paints are thick, vibrant and are a great match for creating with Bella Blvd products!
Supplies:
Color Chaos: Punch Strandz; Just Add Color: Star Struck, Newsflash, Speak Freely; Clear Cuts: Punch Confetti; Amorie Chipboard Alphas: White, Peep, Guacamole; Crochet Hearts: Punch; Enamel Dots: Milk White, Cotton Candy, Punch; Enamel DooDads: Punch
