Product Spotlight: Ken Oliver Crafts

We are excited to welcome Ken Oliver to Palette & Paper a little later this month. He will be teaching three workshops focusing on using Color Bursts and other products in the Ken Oliver Crafts family. 

Color Bursts are “an amazing powder watercolor medium that lets you create beautiful watercolor techniques like you’ve never created before”. They come in 20 colors (including the newly released “Caribbean Brights Collection”), and are great for watercolor painting, fine art and mixed media. You can make artwork suitable for framing quickly and easily with Color Bursts (take Ken’s Stencil Magic Class and walk away with a framed 12x12” piece of artwork!). It’s easy to “sprinkle and spritz” to create watercolor backgrounds like an expert also. Palette & Paper has an assortment of colors in the Shoppe that can be purchased for $6 each or in 6-packs.

​
Color Bursts also come in Liquid Metals (12 colors).  The Liquid Metals add an eye-catching metallic luster to your artwork and can be mixed with other Color Bursts colors.  Finely granulated metallic powder along with colorant is suspended in a dispensing liquid in a handy dropper bottle to make this unique product.   

It is so awesome to see the colorants react to water and spread over your artwork.  Once you “sprinkle and spritz” you will be hooked!
​
Just look at the Gallery below showcasing items made with Color Bursts and Liquid Metals by Ken and his Creative Team.  As you can see, you can add Color Bursts and Liquid Metals to almost every kind of craft type and project.  

Another great product that is hot on the market are Ken’s Cut n’ Color stamp and die sets.  Ken says they were designed with versatility in mind.  Cut n’ Color lets you “color” stamped images, then cut them out with matching die sets making it quick and easy to cut multiple images.  You can use these sets for a multitude of projects including: card making, party décor, mixed media artwork and art journaling.  

Attendees of Ken’s Watercolor Cards class on Friday, July 29 will have the chance to use these great new Cut n’ Color stamp and die sets (there are still a few spots left so register today!).

If you haven’t signed up for one (or all three) of Ken’s classes yet we know you will want to.  His products are so fun to use and can be used in a multitude of ways with various crafts and projects.  This is a great opportunity to learn from the King of Color Bursts himself!
