Love- By Keren Tamir


For my second post this month I created a colorful textured background and used a picture of my family.


To create the background I first masked a circular pattern using some light molding paste. Then I sprayed it with both Chikadee and Lime in the Coconut Shimmerz sprays.


Then using another small circular stencil, I masked the mini circles with two different colored Dazzlers: Sour Apple and Lemon Drop.



I used Before Dawn to sprinkle some dots on the background. I also used it to color the triangular banner which was then sprayed with Chikadee.


I also stamped different images on the page to help tie in the layout together.



Thank you so much for visiting the Shimmerz blog today. For more information about my work you can visit me at:

Summer is coming!!!

Hi Shimmerz fans!!!  Summer is definitely on it's way, here Downunder!  I am so excited, we just love summer, I must admit we haven't had much winter this year so I think it's going to be a hot one :)  Anyway, I have been at it again, creating some beachy fun!!
 
 
Shimmerz products used:
 
Enamelz in Jack Frost
Coloringz in Heidi Ho Blue and Lime In Da Coconut
Spritz in Seafoam
Dazzlerz in Sour Apple

This is my first layer of Shimmerz!  Firstly started out with a scraping of Gesso and then some masking with texture paste...........then comes the Shimmerz sprays!!
 
 
 




I added loads of shells, netting, sinamay, gauze and of course some flowers!  All of these embellishments have been sprinkled in some kind of Shimmerz product.
 
 



If you didn't already know, these colours are my favourites and I love they way they blend into each other.
 
 






Can you see the awesome Jack Frost Enamelz.....everything shines on this page!!
 
 



 
Thankyou for visiting today, hope you enjoyed my project as much as I enjoyed making it!

September Guest Designer- Melinda Thompson- Week 3

Its week 3 in September.  A busy month....it's flying by!

I will leave you now in Melinda's very capable hands!
Welcome back again Melinda.....


"Hi Everyone.
Melinda with you again today.

I have used the following Shimmerz Products to create this layout.

Coloringz – No Yoking
Coloringz – Valentino
Shimmerz – Sugar Plum
Shimmerz – Pumpkin




In the background of this layout I firstly punched out some circles and just glued them down.  Using the Shimmerz – Sugar Plum I dipped my finger into the little jar and traced around the outside of the circles. Once this was dry I added some stamping to enhance the circles.




My next step was masking with some modelling paste.  Once that was dry I used a fine paint brush and went around the masked area with some Coloringz – No Yoking. Then I went over it with some Shimmerz – Pumpkin. I noticed once I added the Shimmerz, the modelling paste started to crackle...what a cool effect!



Then lastly, after all my embellishments were added I dripped some Shimmerz – Sugar Plum on them.  Love how the Shimmerz adhered to the metal embellishments."



So thats it for this week from our GD'er Melinda Thompson.

Alaska- Inspiration by Keren Tamir




It is obvious that after my trip to Alaska I would have lots of pictures to scrap. Here is a picture of my husband and I in Tracy Arm, Alaska, near the glacier.


I sprayed the resist canvas flourishes with Sea foam and the flowers with Bamboo Leaf.



I used lots of blue and green tones on this layout. I created the background using Sour Apple and Gummy Berry Blue Dazzlers which are perfect for this month challenge.

Check out the challenge here:




Thanks so much for visiting the Shimmerz blog today!!
Have a fabulous day!!

Creating a Boy Layout Video Tutorial

Hello , Elena is here with you today and I am very thrilled to share my first video project as a part of Education Team.


 Though there are none of any boyish embellishments there, I played with typical boy colors - blues.


 I added many layers and textures. And no doubt had fun while misting the background as well

  Moreover I added some texture on the chipboard too. You can check the video for the details and my tips. Hope you will enjoy it.
 


Shimmerz Products used:
Spritz -  Sapphire,  Sea Foam
Texturez - Patina, Gritty Graphite
