November Color Kitz-Rhonda Reno
Hello everyone, it's Rhonda here with a new layout to share with you. The colors in this month's Color Kitz are amazing as always. Phenomenal combination of paints and sprays. I'm always blown away at the beautiful collection of paints each month.
My first step in creating this layout was to paint the flowers using the paints in the purple tones "Inklingz-Ruby Lost Her Slippers', Blingz 'Gold N Roses' and Vibez 'Raisin Cane.' Painting and creating florals for my layouts is one of my favorite things and these turned out beautiful. I added some highlights to my flowers with some diamond Stickles.
The next step for me was creating the mixed media background...my VERY favorite part of using Shimmerz! I used all the colors from the kit on my background. Unfortunately, a lot of the background was covered up but you can see the hints of it peeking around the layout.
I used the colors listed above as well as Vibez 'Hot Fudge' and Shimmerz 'Christmas Cheer.'
I added some extra texture with a stencil and some Ranger texture paste.
I used the Vibez Hot Fudge for the 2 cardstock doilies...it's a gorgeous brown color with copper tones--absolutely perfect for this vintage photo of my great great grandparents.
I added some greenery to the floral clusters as well as a few scattered hot melt dots that I've had in my stash for years and years.
Be sure and check out all the kitz for this month on the Shimmerz Paints website. And also be sure and add the name of any design team member to the comment section of your order for a little surprise.
We would love to see anything you create using Shimmerz products in our FB group Shimmerz Paints Sharez!
Happy crafting, friends!

December Memories | Sarah Millerhouse | November Color Kitz
Hello! I love using the beautiful November Color Kitz, combined with a couple of colors from past Color Kitz, to create this fun Christmas layout!
I started this layout by making six imperfect circles or splotches of color! I knew I wanted clusters of circles, so I used the paints as the base for each cluster. I used two colors from the November Color Kitz: Shimmerz - Christmas Cheer and Blingz - Gold-N-Roses. I also used the Color Splash - Flashy Flamingo (which is my new favorite color and can be found on almost every layout I am making right now) and Creameez - Boogie Boardin’ Blue, both from the September Color Kitz. I applied each of the colors with a paintbrush to better control where the color landed, and then I added a few splatters of each one. I love how these colors work together and perfectly match the collection I used!
While that was drying, I cut a bunch of circles from patterned papers from the new Sugarplum Wishes collection. I cut circles in varying sizes and patterns from 1.5 in to 3 in. Once the paints were dry, I clustered the circles together, mixing patterns, on the areas where I splashed the colors.
I added my photos, matted on more of the patterned papers. I then lightly embellished the clusters of circles with ephemera from the collection.
I used two alpha sets from the collection for the title and date. I finished off the layout with shiny Christmas bits from Buttons Galore and Pops of Color!
I hope you have a beautiful weekend ahead! If you haven’t gotten your hands on the Color Kitz yet, do yourself a favor and take the plunge! You won’t regret it! If you place an order, please add my name, Sarah Millerhouse, to the comment section for a free gift!
