Coloured pigments

What are coloured pigments?

Coloured pigments are finely ground powders that bring vibrant colour, shimmer, or special effects to your creative projects. They can be used in many ways – mixed with mediums, sprinkled over wet surfaces, or heat-set for textured finishes. Coloured pigments are a popular choice in card making, scrapbooking, and mixed media because of their versatility and striking results.

Different types of coloured pigments

At Vaessen Creative, coloured pigments are part of the mediums collection. The range includes:

• Embossing powder, which is sprinkled over stamped ink and then heated with a heat tool to create raised, glossy, or metallic designs. It adds texture and dimension to cards and decorations.
• Mica & pigment powders, which have a shimmering or metallic effect. They can be mixed with paints, inks, or gels, or applied directly for subtle highlights and sparkling finishes.

Each type of coloured pigment offers a unique way to make your projects more dynamic and eye-catching.

Creative hobbies & projects with coloured pigments

Coloured pigments can be used in many hobbies. In card making, embossing powder creates elegant raised lettering and motifs. In Halloween crafting, mica powders can be used to add shimmering highlights to spooky designs such as bats, pumpkins, or haunted houses. Another inspiring idea is in Easter crafting, where pastel-toned embossing powders or powders with a pearlescent sheen add delicate effects to seasonal cards and decorations. With coloured pigments, your projects become more colourful and expressive.

Why choose coloured pigments for your projects?

The main advantage of coloured pigments is their ability to add depth, shine, and texture with minimal effort. They transform simple designs into professional-looking creations and are easy to combine with inks, paints, and other mediums. Whether you want raised embossing, shimmering highlights, or bold colour accents, coloured pigments give you endless creative options.
