Be Strong and Courageous.

Hey there!  Lydell here again sharing a page from this week in my Bible.  My bible group is reading Joshua, and this particular verse reminded me of a song I listened to as a teen, when life was not always so easy.  I love how music brings back memories and feelings associated with particular times and people......So I just had to do this verse from the chapter.

I used Shimmerz Aqua Huez, and a couple of Creameez colours and a gold Inklingz (a favourite...Miner, Miner  such a beautiful Gold!)

 I drew out my design and inked it with a Black .1 Micron Pen. Once dry I added colour, lightly at first and adding deeper colours in the folds of the roses and where shadows might be in the leaves.

I wrote the text with an embossing pen and covered it with white embossing powder and then melted with a heat tool.  Then the background colours were added with the white resisting the colour.

A technique that is not too tricky, and quite eye catching!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have an awesome weekend.

Seriously, This Happened | Adrienne Alvis

Hello Shimmerz fans! I'm here today sharing a simple layout that I created using a variety of Vibez and Coloringz spray inks! 

Using spray inks are my favorite way to add color to my layouts. I started by choosing some really bright and vivid colors for my page and took the nozzle out so I could create some very simple and basic multicolored circles on the white cardstock that I chose to use for my background design. I just dipped the end of the nozzle piece into the ink bottle and created circles with it. 

After the ink dried, I placed some Dear Lizzy Black Varnish stickers on top of the painted circles so they would really pop off of the page. I layered two faux photo strips of my daughter and I to the right side and added a couple of Hip Kit Club die cuts around the strips for added color and dimension. 

I added my title by using a cut file cut out of black cardstock and another Hip Kit Club die cut to finish off my page. I also added a few heart-shaped Dear Lizzy Black Varnish stickers to draw the eye around my page and to my title.

Shimmerz Paints Used: Coloringz - Don't Citron Me, No Yoking, Mandarin Mai Tai, Punked Up Purple; Vibez - Cold As Ice, Razzledazzle Berry

I love how fun and colorful this layout turned out to be just by using some colorful Shimmerz ink and a simple design! 

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you have a very colorful and creative day! 

Truly Grateful with Yoonsun

Hello crafty friends, Yoonsun is here! Today I have an autumn-themed card to share with you using some Inklingz shimmering watercolors. For today's card, I tried to stamp solid autumn leaf images instead of colouring. 

To create the card:
1. Die cut a piece of watercolour paper using the A2 sized rectangle panel die.
2. Colour directly on the solid autumn leaf images from the Penny Black Nature's Gifts set using some Inklingz shimmering watercolors: Honey Do List, Olive U Truly, Mochachino, Can't Elope, She Packs a Punch, Naughty or Nice, and Dear John Letter.
3. Stamp the image on the watercolor paper panel. Allow this to dry completely.
4. Stamp the sentiment from the MFT Geometric Greenery set on the bottom half of the panel in black ink.
5. Mount the panel on A2 top folded white card base using double-sided tape.
6. Embellish with a few clear droplets.



Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!!

Hugs,
Yoonsun

Hi,

Karine is here today and I'm here to share my second creation for September. Here it is.

Lovely

I love the subtle colors of this layout against the contrasting black and dark greys.

My background is made with a few colors. I used three shades of green: Feshly Minted Inklingz, 4 Leaf Clover Spritz and Hermit the Frog Vibez. I used water to blend the two together in some places, while I left them separated in other areas. On the picture above, we can see that I also used some Licorice Stick Dazzelerz through a stencil.

I used Taupe of the Morning Vibez and Taupe of the World Spritz (both part of the Mono Tonez) to add contrast to my layout. I even used the Vibez to color a flower.

I wanted to add lace, but I didn't have black lace. I ended up making my own by spraying white lace with Taupe of the Morning Vibez. I love the result.

My title piece was covered with white gesso first, and then, I used Freshly Minted Inklingz to color it.
