Love the new products!!!!

Well I have to admit I am totally in love with the new Texturez and Dazzlerz!!!  They truly are brilliant and mix so well with the original Shimmerz products.  Here I have created a little canvas piece using the following products:
 
Texturez in Tidy Whidy, Patina, Gritty Graphite and Sandy Stone
Dazzlerz in Gummy Berry Blue (yummo)
Spritz in Treasured Hyme
Shimmerz in Antique Lace
 
"Seaside"
 


 
 
I used Tidy Whidy for the title, look at that texture, it's like writing in the sand :)
 



I used a mask to create the rock effect around each side of the photo and canvas.
 
 
 
 
I dabbed each shell with some Gesso first to whitewash and then I used the Texturez to give it colour, texture and a gritty look.
 
 


 
That's all from me today, I hope you enjoyed my canvas, I will never tire of making these beachy ones :)

Loving me some DazzlerZ


 
Hello Shimmerz Fans! Today I have a layout to share featuring the yummy new Dazzlerz products.

 
To start I have used a paintbrush on the pattern paper on the sides with some Olive Branch and Cotton Candy Spritz. The background is also misted with some Cotton Candy Spritz. Than I started to apply the new yummy Tutti Frutti DazzlerZ…this product is so thick and creamy and the Shimmer is just unreal gorgeous!

 
The flower vine is colored with some Before Dawn Vibez. Look at those fun drips I painted on with the Tutti Frutti DazzlerZ. For the stamping I have used Licorice DazzlerZ. Look at all that amazing texture.


 
Well that is it for today. Don’t forget on your next order to ask for your free bottle of Shimmerz. Just leave a message with any DT member and we can fill you in on the details! Swing on by our Facebook page for more inspiration. Take care and happy Scrapping!

Project Life With Shimmerz Paints.....hand in hand

Hello,
Lydell here with you again with some more Project Life Creating.
You may remember these cards, which I created using Shimmerz Paints on the Gelli Plate (video 2 shows them finished).....So much fun this is.  I cant wait for the next time I need more cards so I can play again.  As it is I have a stack of 3x4 cards about 5 inches high!  I need to use them.....but that should not be hard.  The results are gorgeous, and if you enjoy creating your cards by hand rather than using all store bought pre printed ones then this is for you!


Can you spot the Shimmerz?  Its all on the background cards, in layers, using stencils and stamps.





They were so easy to use created like this.  I made them all in stages.  I did all the printing, then cut them all up.  I decorated them, while watching TV,  just using Stamps, labels and stickers from my stash.  Later I pulled out all the matching ones and found elements in my stash with similar colours to match them.
Love creating PL weeks like this!

Now you dont have to make project life cards with this technique, you can print your own gift cards, birthday cards, or tags.  You can print on printer paper and cut it all up again for collage in your art Journal.  You can create really cool backgrounds on cardstock for your next Layout.  The projects and possibilities are endless.

So, Thats it from me today.....Thanks for stopping by and remember if you have any projects you have made using Shimmerz be sure to post to the Shimmerz FB Page.  We would love to see them!

Beautiful Crushed Coral...

Hi friends! I am so glad to be sharing a project with you today. I have taken a small leave of absence temporarily as I have had a little boy with some special needs that needed attending to, but I am hoping to be popping in here a bit more frequently soon!

In the meantime, I have had such a pleasure using the new products, and I have to tell you - I LOVE them. Texturez and Dazzlerz may have really been a crafting game changer for me... I have only had them a short time, but I cant imagine creating without using them now.

What a beautiful, impact these products have on projects. For this layout below, I simply dabbed my finger into some Texturez in Crushed Coral and smudged it around my clusters. Before this product existed, this step would have taken much longer because I would have used Molding Paste, or Bead Gel, building up the texture in those places, then letting it dry, then painting it with my Shimmerz. Instead, I was able to create this layout in no time at all!!

I also used Rolling in the Hay Vibez, flicking around my background paper, dropping splats and splotches here and there around the clusters.
Look where the Vibez rested on top of the Texturez, what beautiful dimension!! And because the Texturez was dry already, the colors did not get muddy, adding gorgeous color variation.
 (Thank you to Swirlydoos Kit Club, who put together this beautiful kit that I used to create the project!)

Have you all  gotten your hands on the Texturez or Dazzlerz yet? Make sure when you are checking out that you mention my name and you can get a free paint!!!

Shimmerz FUN!


Hello Shimmerz Fans! Today I have a Mixed Media Tag and Canvas to share with you. I have used lots of Shimmerz products on both. I was inspired by our very own Miranda on the corner flip look…so cool thatnks Miranda! First is my tag. The background is misted wih some Ruby and Truffle Spitz and I I have used some Hot Fudge Vibez for the circles and drips.
 

The chippy fence is coverd with some gesso and than I dry brushed on some Pearlz Grammie Berrie paint. The title chippy has a thicker layer of the same paint.
 

The grass chippys have a layer of gesso and I have misted them with some Olive Branch Spritz. I love to alter my chippys with Shimmerz products they just shine!
 

Next up is my Canvas. I have used some Snow Storm Vibez in the background for a white washed look.
 

Some of the flowers are misted with 4 Leaf Clover Spritz.
 

The cheese cloth is misted with Olive Branch Spritz.
 

I added some resit canvas pieces that are misted with some Sea Foam and Truffle Spritz.
 

Well that is it for today. Don’t forget on your next order to ask for your free bottle of Shimmerz. Just leave a message with any DT member and we can fill you in on the details! Swing on by our Facebook page for more inspiration. Take care and happy Scrapping!
