Color Burst

 

Yes  Yes  I know you are all going to say what is she talking about I have been using this for years

Well for the few of you like me who have never used  heard or seen Color Burst

here is the scoop

I received this small bottle of Color Burst in a Blog Candy  yesterday

I read the directions on the bottle  ( which by the way is called Sepia )

I am to wet a porous ( water color ) Paper and puff the powder on to it

Above is my very first attempt

When the powder hit the moist paper it bleed out showing several colors

I feel I was a smidge heavy on the poof it might be a learning curve

but I am ready and willing to learn

Now I am off to research what other colors are available

 

FYI  the image is My Besties
