Final Guest Designer Post for January- Sarah Lynch

Hi everyone, it's Sarah here.



So thrilled to be able to share one last project as Guest Designer this month for Shimmerz! I made another layout again, I have really been enjoying making them lately.  January is the month for new beginnings, for planning, for reflecting. I have made a resolution to myself to try not to get so angry or irritable so easily...I need to just relax and take a deep breath sometimes.  I created this layout of the beach in Captiva Island, Florida, where I vacationed over the summer.  It evokes memories of serenity and clarity.  I collected these shells while I was taking a walk by myself at sunset one night. It was such a calm and peaceful place.

I used many colors of Shimmerz for this project:
Shimmerz ~ Celery
Vibez ~ Pop Art Pink and Razzel Dazzel Berry
Spritz ~ Sapphire and Caribbean Sunset

I really wanted to create a lot of texture on this layout, this is how it started out:

I like to use the little applesauce cups to mix color with modeling paste! Then scraped it through a stencil. So much fun to add texture!  I used lots of Carribean Sunset, Pop Art Pink and Razzel Dazzel Berry to create the top "sky." Here are some close ups:





 Stop by my blog and say hi, I love to meet other crafters! www.kitchensinkcreations.blogspot.com
I'd really like to thank everyone at Shimmerz for allowing me to share with you guys this month, hope it's a good one for everyone!

Mixed media canvas. Video tutorial

Hello friends. 
I am super excited because this is my first post for Shimmerz. 

I have a canvas to share with you today. It has a very winter feel with the blue and white.  
Here is the project. 

The canvas measures 8x10. I added lots of texture with Shimmerz texturez. I used Tidy widy, Patina, and Gritty Graphite. I used different masks to create different patterns and textures. 

I also used the Dimensionz in Blueberry hill and I used a sponge brush to pounce it on the canvas. I did the same technique for a lot of the products used. 

You can watch the video to see how I completed the canvas. 



Here are some up close pictures 




Here is a list of shimmerz products used. 
Texturez - Tidy widy, Patina, and Gritty graphite
Dimensionz - Blueberry hill 
Coloringz - Mama sings the blues 
Shimmeringz - Concrete 
Vibez - Snow storm 

You can purchase all these products and more in the Shimmerz store 
If you mention my name when you check out you can get free product (sample size texturez or dazzlerz) 

Thank you for stopping by.

January Guest Designer- Sarah Lynch, Project 4

Hi everyone, it's Sarah here with my last guest post for Shimmerz.  I had such a blast playing with all of the wonderful products! This month I wanted to use my favorite (Texturez) again and I decided to alter a book to use to write down projects I'm working on, quotes and anything that inspires me, so I don't forget.  The cover was heavy cardboard so it took all the media quite nicely, without warping. Here is my project:

First I used my Texturez in "Brick Wall" through a gear stencil on the top left corner and bottom right corner. I had first covered the front in heavy gesso then used a rubber "bath mat" toy of my daughters to create the hearts. Then they were colored in "celery" Shimmerz .

I then colored the background with both the "celery" green color and the blue "sapphire" Spritz.

My picture frame started out really blue so I decided to pain it with white, then embossed the corners with some gold embossing powder, then rubbed some "celery" Shimmerz on it to totally change the look.
Thanks for allowing me to spend the month with you lovely crafters and I hope some of you will stop by my blog and say hi sometime! www.kitchensinkcreations.blogspot.com

Here is one more close up:

Happy Sunshiny Days!

Hi lovely Shimmerz followers, Happy New Year to you all!  This is my first time back in the new year and I have a cute and fun layout to share.   We are having beautiful sunshiny days atm thought doing something bright and happy would be fitting!!
 
Shimmerz products used:
 
Spritz in Mango Madness
Vibez in Egg Noggin
Coloringz in Mandarin Mai Tai
Dimensionz in Streets of Gold and Orange U Pretty
Shimmerz in Golden Wheat and Marigold
 
 
"Love You"
 
 

 
I coloured some chipboard pieces with Shimmerz and Spritz.
 




I also used the Dimensionz on the title word "Love You".  I love how this product gives so much texture and puffiness to your Chipboard products.
 



 
I used the lid from a Spritz bottle and dipped it into the Golden Wheat Shimmerz, I then placed this over the layout randomly to add some circles. 
 



 
The Shimmerz products I used compliment the embellishments and papers perfectly :)
 




Thanks for stopping by today, enjoy your weekend, I hope it's a creative one for you.
Hugs xo

Just Another Day in Paradise


Hello Shimmerz Fans! Today I have a layout and a tag to share featuring lots of yummy Shimmer products! First I did some masking in the background with a Prima stencil and some Dazzlerz in Spun Sugar.
 

 

I love the way this bottom section turned out with layers of papers, corrugated board, embellishments and finished it all off with drips and splashes of Shimmerz Spritz In Seafoam and Goldie Lox Shimmeringz. The corrugated board has been painted with Blue Lagoon and Streets of Gold Dimentionz.

 


The top corner is finished the same way and I added some drops of Bliss By U Pearlz and Golden Wheat Shimmeringz paints.

 


I also have a tag to share. After my tag was cut I added some masking with Dazzlerz in Spun Sugar and sprays of Treasured Hymn Spritz, before I added the embellishments.

 


The bird Chippy is finished with some Tauping You’ll Call Dimentionz…just paint it on and so much texture is added.
 
 

Don’t forget about this months challenge to use your Shimmerz and create something with the theme “New Begginings”.   Share it on our Facebook page to qualify for this months prize!
