A Shimmerz Stakz Layout with Missy

Happy Monday, Shimmerz fans!  Missy here with you, and today I'm sharing a layout I created using one of the new PickPocket Stakz cards.  If you love to color or paint, these are perfect for you!  I love these small 3x4 sized cards because they're small and they can be worked into a scrapbooking layout design pretty easily.  I painted this one and used it as a big embellishment.

I used a lot of Shimmerz products on this page.  I used mostly Creameez and Iklingz to color the card with a few touches of Coloringz and Vibez.  I used a small paint brush and just painted everything on...I'm definitely not a professional painter, and this is really easy to do.  The color combos are endless, and it didn't take that long to do. 

I used some papers from my stash including the Studio Calico Wanderlust collection and the original Maggie Holmes line.  My flair buttons are from A Flair For Buttons.

Here's a look at the Stakz card up close.  As you can see, it's not perfect.  I love that it's kind of messy.  I tried to create a pinkish/orange blend on the flowers using Creameez Piggy Pink, Berry Hot & Daffodil mixed with Inklingz Can't Elope.  The leaves are painted with Inklingz The Holly and the Ivy.  The blue background is a mix of Creameez Ride the Tide and Vibez Jeni B Bleu.  I used a black pen to color in the words.  It really is fun to mix similar colors together to create different tones.  I added some machine stitching, some hand cut flowers, tangled thread and a few stickers.

I cut the two large scribbly circles on my Cameo (from a file I purchased in the Silhouette Store).  I used them as stencils first.  I put some Creameez Ride the Tide onto some plastic packaging and smushed it over the die cuts to create a messy design on the cardstock and then added some Vibez over them.  Once that dried, I glued the die cuts down and went over them with some white gesso to blend out the pattern a bit.  I came in with some Coloringz No Yoking on some plastic packaging.  Once I knew where the card and my photo were going to go, I added a bit of the Piggy Pink Creameez with a brush to pick up the color from the card.

Here you can see some of the layering I created using some of the Maggie Holmes flower paper and a few die cuts.  I added some tangled thread under my flair button here and added lots of ink splatters to the background.

I brought in a few die cuts from the Simple Stories Carpe Diem collection as well as a few Elle's Studio stamps.  I also added in some washi tape strips from my stash.

Here's a look at my process video if you'd like to see how this whole layout came together...I hope it inspires you to get your hands on some of the Shimmerz Stakz!
