By

Karen Grose

"Here's a LO I created using the bright Dazzlerz, and I love them!!  I have used Gummy Bear Blue and Lemon Drop, as well as some Tiddy Widy Texturez. Thanks for looking."

I love how she selected two brights from the Shimmerz Dazzlerz Ranges and used them as the base for her page with Stamping and stenciling.  She completed her Project by co ordinating her embellishments to the Shimmerz Colours.  

Her page is a fabulous Boy page, that is bright and colourful!

So....our new Challenge.

SPC007

We Welcome Екатерина Алексеева (Catherine) as our October Guest Designer.

Learn a little about her below.

Hello! My name is Ekaterina. I am almost 33. I live in a small town of atomic industry in the Urals, Russia. I am married. We have 4 children - 4 boys. The oldest, Yefim, is 6, twins Matvei and Timofei are 4, and the youngest, Yegor, is just 4 months old. 

I read about scrapbooking about 7  years ago and did my first project in 2007. It took me almost two years to fling myself into scrapbooking. This art came into my life and I believe it'll be with me forever)

In my projects I like to use different paints, texture pastes, stencils, alcohol inks and mists, stamps and embossing, and stitches.

This month I am honored to be a Guest Designer for Shimmerz. I found the products of the company not so long ago but fell in love with them from the first sight. Now I often use the products in my projects, which you can find in my blog.

For her First Project She created using the October Challenge.

Heres Catherine.......

"For this challenge I've done two cards.

The first one is very tender and romantic."

Here is a list of what I used:
Shimmerz – Babble Gum, Sky Blue
Dazzlerz- Spun Sugar

The card is made on the base of a Spellbinders die cut. The background I made with the help of an embossing folder and mists. I singled out the snowflakes with  Dazzlerz- Spun Sugar (mixed with water) and pants Shimmerz Babble Gum and Sky Blue. 

I also painted the die cuts-snowflakes with Shimmerz Babble Gum and Sky Blue.

The second card is more official.

Here is a list of what I used:

Shimmerz – Key Lime, Jilted Jade 
Dazzlerz - Spun Sugar
Pearlz - Sunnyside Up

The background is made with the embossing folder, the snowflakes are singled out by  Dazzlerz - Spun Sugar (mixed with water). 

The chipboard  "Weathered Clock Bigz Die" was painted by Pearlz - Sunnyside Up. 

The fir branch die cut was painted with  Shimmerz – Key Lime, Jilted Jade and covered with artificial snow. I also added fir strobiles, berries and a ribbon.

That's it for today! Stay tuned, there will loads of amazing goodies posted this week.

Catherine will be back next week with more gorgeous creations to share!
