Live with Prima - Color Madness

Hi everyone!  March is all about Color Madness at Prima!  There are so many ways to color your projects and such a wide range of colors in several mediums.  For today's class, I colored my paper clay project with Color Bloom and Color Bloom 2 Mists.  You can view the video of how this project was created and colored right here on my blog!

Here is the video and I've also include close-ups for reference and details below.


I love the Fall Release IOD Moulds and stamps!  They are perfect for decorating your projects and even making your own piece!

The Color Bloom mists make it easy to color the paper clay.  They also give your projects a beautiful sheen. 

I used just a few colors for this project, but the color range is amazing!  You can create this project in any color to match your personal taste or decor!

New Sparks Paint from Prima

This one was a lot of fun! I had it hidden in a drawer because it was starting to fall apart and have been meaning to fix it up, but hadn't gotten around to it yet.  When I saw the new Prima Sparks from Finnabair, I knew they were perfect for this one!  I also used the new Prima Waxes from Finnabair, too!

The Sparks paints are so shiny and just truly sparkle.  They set perfectly on both the natural elements of this owl and the fabulous Finnabair metal pieces!  I couldn't resist giving this one lots of bling and fun metal elements.  Of course, the eyelashes made from a metal flower that I cut in half are probably my favorite part!  

I added the Prima Wax to the body after painting it with the Prima Sparks.  It gave it lots of visual dimension and kept it from looking flat.

This side view shows the back of the owl's detail.  I was able to pick up a bit of the 'spark' but the photos never do this justice. You can also see more of the metal here, in addition to the flowers that I also altered with the Sparks!  

So, Finnabair and Prima have done it again!  More fabulous products that work for anything, even a broken down owl!

New Prima Love Clippings

Of course, I had to make a dress form with the new Prima Love Clippings collection by Frank Garcia!  It has become somewhat of a tradition to make dress forms.  This one went to CHA.  I loved the heavy rose gold accents on this collection.  It made her dress quite formal and shiny!

This one is larger than I usually make.  It is 20" tall! I covered the paper mache form with micro beads and added Metallique paints.  I also used the rose stencil with 3D gloss gel mixed with Prima Mica Powder to add pattern and sheen to the background.

The little Prima Resin frames were such a pretty accent!

The skirt is made of paper with bits of tulle tucked in here and there. I distressed it a bit and added lots of Prima Glass Beads to it, too.

I fussy cut some of the papers and added them for more pattern and dimension.  Of course, the finishing touch was beautiful Prima Flowers!!
