For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Happiness Depends Upon Ourselves

 

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Shimmerz Paints! Go and see all the fun                                                                         treasures there!




To make this page, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto watercolor paper.All the fussy cut images are from Graphic 45. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat,and made a mat also. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard,ripped some of the paper off, and brushed on white gesso.
I sprinkled on ultra thick embossing powder into the wet gesso and heated it with a heat gun.
 I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers, and glued on beads and other items. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints. I rubbed on gold,and pearl mica powder on different  areas. 




To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,tulle,a dried flower, crystals, feathers, glass glitter, and bling and metal from my stash. 
      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.   





Twinklingz: Mind Your Bees-Ness.





Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!

My Sweet Boy Using the July Color Kitz

Hey all!  Nicole here with another layout using the July Color Kitz!  Today I'm documenting my sweet dog, Rocky.  This was our last day with Rocky and it brings up such emotion, so I thought it would be nice to document with some bright cheerful colors.
 

 The first thing I did for this layout was to make the background.  I used all the shimmerz and sprays to make this from the kit.

Next I paper pieced from the papers that came with the kit, trying to match the colors with the paints.

Finally I used elements from the kits to embellish!  I also added some buttons and sequins from my stash.  I added my title using a stamp and finished with journaling.

Thanks so much for stopping in to read about my layout!  You can grab the July Color Kitz in the shop and don't forget to use my name Nicole in the shopping cart notes to grab a free gift with your order!  I also have a process for this page here: Shimmerz Process Video

Until next time, Nicole Santos

Cheers | Shimmerz Paints Color Kit | Brandy Vaughn

Hello! Brandy here with a new layout featuring the July Color Kit from Shimmerz Paints. This kit was perfect for creating a layout to document a flight of fruity drinks I had with a friend.


I began by choosing the papers I wanted to use for my grid design. I layered them all up and placed them onto my background.


Next, I backed the gorgeous acetate fruit pieces with white cardstock.


Then, I fussy cut some flowers from one the papers.


Next, I chose a title and a few phrase stickers from my stash.


Finally, I assembled all the pieces and added some splatters with Inklingz-Old Yeller, and this layout was complete.

I love the colors of this one and how easily it all came together.
You can grab this month's kit from the Shimmerz Shop.
Don't forget to add my name to your order for a free product!
xoxo
