Hi
everyone, this is Niki (@nikiclairecreates) here with you today with a new layout and video (see below) using the May 2021 Color
Kitz. This kit is awesome! I adore the colours. The Kitz contains five colours
of Shimmerz Paint: Rule of Plum Vibez, Sugar Plum Shimmerz, Lettuce Get Together
Creameez, Daffodil Creameez and Meet Me @Sunset Inklingz. The Kitz also includes
an exclusive cut file, a set of three Dotz and a pack of cute little paper
flowers.
I started
off with the cut file. I cut it three times in white card in three different
sizes. I then cut backing pieces for each one from Marshmallow cardstock. I
then painted these backing pieces with three colours: Rule of Plum Vibez, Sugar
Plum Shimmerz, Lettuce Get Together Creameez. Once dry I attached the cut file
on top of each backing piece using wet glue and I also stitched around them with
my sewing machine.
I then
created a yellow background on a piece of Marshmallow card. I began with the
beautiful Daffodil Creameez paint. I activated it with water and let it sit for
a while so I had lots of lovely right paint and then I used a wide paintbrush to
paint a very large area of colour on the right side of my layout. When that had
dried a bit, I applied Meet Me @ Sunset to the background too, mostly around
the edges of the yellow area I had created already and then I also added
splatters of this colour all over the yellow area. Because the Daffodil paint
was already dry, the Meet Me @Sunset paint sat on top and looks beautifully
shimmery.
I then set
about putting together the rest of my layout. I added torn strips of paper at
the top of the layout. I mounted my photo onto yellow and green paper and I
added twine to my lightbulbs to make them look as though they were hanging down –
they look so pretty!
I added
fussy cut flowers to the lightbulbs, as well as gold acetate butterflies,
chipboard flowers, gold padded hearts and other embellishments. To each cluster
I also added the cute little paper flowers from the Kitz.
I added in all
three Dots from this month’s kit, they are such perfect clours and coordinate
beautifully with the paint colours. I added in a few acrylic Perspextives: ‘&’
frame to the left of the photo, two pretty swans and little yellow starbursts
on the yellow painted area.
I finished
off with some sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps (Jewel of the Nile) and some more splatters
of Daffodil paint. Here's another look at the finished layout:
I think
this layout turned out really pretty! I hope you have enjoyed it. Don’t forget
