Mixed Media Oversize Tag


Hello Shimmerz Fans! Today I have an oversize mixed media collage tag to share. These are so much fun to make and I have used scraps from a previous layout that I made.



After I applied all the collage pieces to the tag I added some Vibez Hot Fudge on the one side, tilt it and let it drip to the other side. I also covered the grass chippys with the Vibez. You can see a bit of masking in the background with some Spun Sugar Dazzlerz. It adds lots of yummy added texture.


The butterfly chippys is just covered with some Patina Texturez and drips of Vibez Hot Fudge to finish it off.




All of these techniques are perfect for this months challenge to use your Shimmerz and create some Texture. Don’t forget to 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 Dazzlerz or Texturez Color (in the notes to merchant) and Stacey will send you a sample of your choice for FREE!!!! Swing on by our Facebook page for more inspiration. Take care and happy Scrapping!

Fairy- by Keren Tamir



Its my turn again at the Shimmerz blog and I have a very soft and delicate layout here to show you. 



I've used this beautiful photo of my daughter and created a magical fairy garden around her. I've created a video on how I made this layout and I'll be uploading it in a few days back here on the blog, so stay tuned.




I've used many different types of Shimmerz both on the paper and on the chipboard. 

For the pink tones I used Cotton Candy, Bed of Roses and RazzleDazzle Berry.

For the Yellow tones, I've used: Egg Nogging, Tuscan sun, Mandarin Mai Tai and Sunny side up.



Please stay tuned for my video tutorial. In the meantime, I do hope you come and visit my blog here.


Have a wonderful day!!

Friday fun!

Happy Friday Everyone!!  I have a fun layout to share with you today.  Here is what I used:
 
Dazzlerz in Gummy Berry Blue and Sour Apple (I actually mixed these two colours together to make a turquoise colour)
Texturez in Sugar Spun and Gritty Graphite
Spritz in Licorice, Sapphire and Seafoam
Pearlz in Espresso
 
 
"You are Loved"
 
 


I started on my background by using a Chevron stencil and then with a pencil I stencilled out the bow shape towards the bottom of the page.  I then used the Dazzlerz to colour it in.  I also used the black and white to add some depth and shadows to it.  Lots of paint flickers too.
 
 



Just some closeups of the embellishments.
 
 



Some stamping and then added some Shimmerz colour to the shapes.
 
 



Loads of texture and layers.
 
 


 
Thanks for dropping by, I hope you have a chance to play with your Shimmerz over the weekend!!
xo

The chipboard flourishes were painted with Choc-a-lot Shimmerz paint and then embossed with bronze embossing powder.

Elena Olinevich
My name is Elena Olinevich and I am from Belarus (Easterm Europe)  I have been scrapping for more than 6 years and started as a cardmaker but at the present moment I am addicted to creating Layouts with some mixed media techniques, with attention to details and layering.  Also I like to do altered art and OTP projects, using fabric, lace and paints.  I adore using flowers, fabric or hand made elements from different materials.  What about my style?..... I like making grungy to look elegant and being a gentle person, all my creations look feminine and soft.



Kelly Foster
Hi everyone!! My name is Kelly Foster, and I am SO excited to be joining the Shimmerz team as an Educator. A little about me - 
I am from the beautiful state of Minnesota (USA), and am a stay at home mom to two beautiful red-headed toddler girls, ages 3 and 1...they keep me on my toes and quite busy. During my spare moments I can be found covered in ink, paint, glue, and paper...I am addicted to all things crafty. Paper crafting is my first love, but I also enjoy baking, sewing, picture taking, and more.
Thank you so much to Stacey and the Shimmerz team for having me. I hope to inspire and show you some fun new ways to use Shimmerz on your projects!

Keren Tamir
My name is Keren Tamir and I'm 39 years old. I am a wife to a wonderful husband who is very supportive of my scrapbooking and a mother of two amazing kids; a 12 year old boy and a 6 years old girl. I've been scrapbooking for 10 years and I mainly scrapbook about my family. I love to create and experiment with many different mediums and techniques.
My style is mainly Shabby chic but I love to combine it with mixed media. I use lots of flowers and vines on my projects mixed with pastes, gels and mists. My style is always evolving and that’s one of the things I love about this art.
One of the main reasons I started scrapbooking was to preserve memories and photos for my children. However over the couple of years, I’ve started to enjoy another aspect of scrapbooking. I love the artistic outlet that it gives me. I love to create and I’m passionate about what I do.
I’m currently a design team member at Prima Marketing, 13 Arts, 2 Crafty, Scrap around the world, Sketchbook 365 and Scrap for Help.
Hope you enjoy my creations!!
