Hi everyone! Today I have a super easy home decor piece you can create using a cut file and some Shimmerz Paints.
Products I used:
- Blingz Pixie Dust
- Blingz Spiced Cider
- Coloringz Scarlett's Fever
- Inklingz Gosh Garnet
- Shimmerz Sunflower
- Blingz Gold-N-Roses
- Shimmerz Sugar Plum
To start, choose and cut your cut file. I used Kraft cardstock to create the fall theme I was aiming for. Next, I traced the cut file onto a white piece of cardstock using a white gel pen. You could easily use a pencil for this step, just trace lightly so that your lines don't show when finished.
Once everything is traced you can start the fun process of painting in all of the spaces. This is a great project for new mixed media peeps because if you go outside the lines a bit it won't ruin your project. The paint is going on the back layer so little mistakes will be covered. Just be aware of the spacing of the cut files pieces so the colors don't run into nearby shapes. I also tried to mix up my colors so that like colors were separated a bit. 
I chose to use the Blingz Pixie Dust to paint the words on the cut file because I wanted them to be shimmery but neutral. This is a great option for this because it is white and full of shimmer. Then I chose a variety of colors in my fall color scheme which includes purple and pinks. Colors like Gold-N-Roses, Sugar Plum, and Gosh Garnet are fantastic options for fall.
When my paint was dry, I added the kraft piece of cardstock to the top. I carefully lined up the cut file to the painted pieces and adhered it down. I used the "off" cuts of the cut file to embellish the remaining kraft cardstock space around the cut file. This added some texture and interest without taking any attention away from the painted cut file. To finish, I simply put the whole thing into a 12x12 frame that I had and voila I had a prefect piece for above my mantle!
