Love Life Layout

Hello Shimmerz Fans! Today I have a layout to share with lots of Shimmerz goodies on it! I love this photo of my niece…she is expecting a baby and she is just so lovely here!

First I did some masking in the background with Patina Texturez and molding paste. Combining mediums with your masks is so much fun!

The chippy is finished with the new Gold Mine Texturez. I heat set it until it bubbled for even more texture…love the look of it!

And lastly I finished off the layout with some drips and splats in Golden Wheat Shimmerz and Seafoam Spritz!

Don’t forget about this months challenge to use your Shimmerz and create some festive creations!  Share it on our Facebook page to qualify for this months prize!

On your next Shimmerz order, mention my name (or any Shimmerz Designer) and your favourite Dimensionz (in the notes to merchant) and Stacey will send you a one FREE!!!! Swing on by our Facebook page for more inspiration. Take care and happy Scrapping!

December Guest Designer Alicia Redshaw- Week 1

Hi, my name is Alicia Redshaw 

and I am so excited to be Guest Designing here at the Shimmerz Blog for the month of December.

I have used the following Shimmerz Products in my first project, 

which is a Christmas Card for the December Shimmerz Challenge SPC009:

Colouringz – My Bleeding Heart

Spritz - Bamboo Leaf, 4 Leaf Clover, Olive Branch

Shimmeringz – Bronze Bombshell

Blingz - Gold Glimmer

And here is my card: 

I have used a palette knife to spread the Blingz Gold Glimmer over the background paper, as you would gesso or texture paste.  Whilst this was still wet I have flicked dots of all the mists over the background.  I found that this needed to dry naturally, as my heat tool warped it too much no matter what I did to stop it.

The flower and leaves have the Blingz Gold Glimmer on the edges, which I applied with my fingers.

Why not have a go at the Challenge yourself?

Just create something with a Christmas Theme and load it to the Shimmerz FaceBook Page titled SPC009.  You could win a Guest Design Position in 2014.

Thank you for stopping by the Shimmerz Blog and checking out my first project Guest Designing for December, and a huge thank you to Stacey and the team for inviting me.

Have a wonderful day

Mummy's Treasures

Hello lovely Shimmerz followers!  Today I have a new layout featuring loads of fun colours!  These boys keep me on my toes I tell you, so trying to get a sweet selfie of us all and here they go with the giggles and poking tongues.........yes they are Mummy's little treasure's :) :)

 

 

Shimmerz products used:

 

Dimensionz in Streets of Gold and Green Thumb

Dazzlerz in Sour Apply

Spritz in Mango Madness and 4 Leaf Clover

Shimmerz in Key Lime and Apricot

 

 

"Mummy's Treasures"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I just love the Dazzlerz colour in Sour Apple.  It just makes a layout 'pop'!!!!  I have used it under and around some of my embellishments.

 

 

 

I also used it to colour in the 2 Crafty chipboard feather.

 

 

 



I applied some Shimmerz to the resin feathers to add a little more colour.  I also did this with the light bulb.......I just love how the Shimmerz products take to these embellishments!  Some cool effects!

 

 

 



 

 

I actually started this layout by applying texture paste to a feather stencil.  I then applied the Spritz and lifted up the page, that is how I got the dribble effect underneath.  But of course, me being me, my feather background is almost completely unseen........part of the process I always say :)

 

 

 



 

 

Thanks for visiting, have a wonderful weekend, I hope it's a creative one! xoxo

ART Mixed Media Canvas

Hello Shimmerz Fans! I love to get creative with a canvas creation now and then and I made this one for a special friend. I was definitely inspired by our own Miranda’s amazing canvas work but also added lots of my own touches here and there to it. It has lots of background work with yummy Shimmerz products! This is a great project to use up bits and pieces of trims, flowers and even some old hardware that you have laying around!

 First I added all the pieces to my canvas and painted it with gesso. I applied layers of Treasured Hymn and Cotton Candy Spritz.

 After that was heat set I added some Hot Fudge Vibez and let it drip and move around as I heat set it.

 I finished it off with a few more trims.

 Don’t forget about this months challenge to use your Shimmerz and tell us what you are thankful for!  Share it on our Facebook page to qualify for this months prize!
