Hi lovely Shimmerz readers!  I have been wanting to incorporate a Dreamcatcher into a layout for a long time now.....I finally did it!!!  So here is my newest Shimmerz creation for you.
 
 
 
Shimmerz products used:
 
Dazzlerz - Sour Apple and Gummy Beary Blue
Texturez - Gold Mine and Gritty Graphite
Vibez - Egg Noggin, Jeni B Bleu and Hermit The Frog
 
 
"Dreamcatcher"
 
 
 
 
 
I have used lots of 2 Crafty Chipboard and coated them in a mix of Gummy Beary Blue, Sour Apple and Gold Mine.
 
 
I have some plastic feathers amongst them which were misted with the Vibez products.
 
 

 
 
 
 
The circle chipboard was covering in Gesso and then I added some Gold Mine to them for some texture.
 
 
 
 
 
Lots of misting around and under the embellishments and paper.

Quick Textures...

Creating mixed media projects can be time consuming and messy. There are days however when we don't have much time for both the creative process and the clean-up process. Shimmerz products are our best bet during times like these.

I made this quick layout with fun textures using Shimmerz mists and Texturez...


The paper was misted with Coloringz Mai Tai, and Vibez Caribbean Sunset...



The texture you can see right under the embellishments was created using a stencil and the 
Texturez Tidy Widy


Thanks for your visit and I hope you can still squeeze in some creative time even during busy days.

Love Always- by Keren Tamir


Its my turn again this month on the Shimmerz blog and I have a pastel coloured layout for you today which is very different than the vintage coloured mixed media canvases I created for my first reveal.


This sweet little baby all wrapped up in a blanket brings me so much joy and I just thought she needed a bright layout for the occasion.


These are the Shimmerz products I used for this layout:
Spritz- Chickadee
Blingz- Hottie Pink, Under the sea
Texturez: Patina
Shimmerz Bubblegum pink






I used a chipboard doily behind the photo. I primed it with gesso and then painted it in Hottie Pink Shimmerz paint.

The chipboard title "Love Always" was covered in Patina Texturez.



Remember that if you make a purchase at the Shimmerz Store and mention my name during checkout, you will receive a free product.

Book of Shimmerz

Hi there Shimmerz fans!
Ingrid here today with a fun project.
Made this book with lots of yummy Shimmerz!
As I don't have the luxury of a scraplace, I store my paints in a box.
Found this not very handy when I wanted to start with a new project 
so I decided to make this book with all the products and colors.

Here is my book of Shimmerz:
Started this book with glueing some paper towel to create some texture.
Glued the letters and the metal frame as well.
All was given a coat of gesso before adding the paints.
Sprayed and painted with all the Shimmerz.
Also sprayed some water to let the colors run.
Added some micro beads into the wet paints for an extra touch.
Once dry, I gave the whole book a touch of gesso to highlight the textures.

Here a glimpse of the inside of the book.
Still have some room for more colors! lol ;)

Here are some details:
All the flowers were also painted with the Shimmerz paints and sprays.


Some lace and threads in matching colors.

The metal frame was also painted with the Shimmerz colors.


Look at all that yummy texture!


Here is the backside:
The backside got the same treatment as the front.

Playing with Shimmerz is just SO much fun!


The front and backside of my book of Shimmerz.

Shimmerz products used:
Coloringz: No Yoking
Spritz: Truffle
Vibez: Jeni B Blue
Dimension: Blue Lagoon
Texturez: Gritty Graphite
Texturez: Artie Choked
Dazzelerz: Sour Apple
Dazzelerz: Gummy Berry Blue
Dazzelerz: Lemon Drop

Hope you got inspired to play with Shimmerz as well!

Shimmerz Mixed Media Art Journal Page


Hi friends :)

Today I am sharing a loss page art journal page I created as a Shimmerz Education Team Product. The color theme is really simple as you can see. I did not put any words or titles on it either, because this art journal is more like a creation of my feelings than my thoughts.

I always wanted to put some words into my art journal page. But sometimes when I was creating this one, I just didn't know how to describe what I want to say. So I decided just to create what I feel inside.

I first sprayed the background color and used white paint to tone everything down. Then I ripped some newspaper print tissue paper and collaged them onto the background. I love the paint drips on my art journal, so I made my mist run and let them drip away. I took a checkerboard stencil and dazzelerz in color gummy berry blue to create some texture. Then I used Texturez in color Crushed Coral to go over some places to create more texture and layers of colors.

It is a really simple and fast art journal page to create. Hope you like it
Here is the start-to-finish video:




Product List:
--Spritz: Caribbean Sunset, sapphire, Sea Foam
--Vibez: Blue Jeans
--Dazzelerz: Gummy Berry Blue, Tutti Frutti
--Texturez: Crushed Coral

Stay Creative <3

What the World Needs...is a Group Hug


Hello Shimmerz Fans! For my layout today I have used lots of different Shimmerz products to create a fun background.
 
 
After a bit of masking with gesso and stamping, I did more masking with some Dimensionz and a bubble mask. Just add a wee bit to your finger to apply it! I have used some Blue Laggon and Blueberry Hill Dimensionz here.

 

Little dabs and drips of Coloringz Mama Sings the Blues.


The chippy I have painted with some Spun Sugar Dazzlerz and after the layout was complete I added a few drops of Shimmerz in Royal Red and Aqua Marine.
