Hi crafty friends! I'm super excited to be sharing a new layout with you using the March 2025 Color Kitz. This kit is absolutely gorgeous! I started my layout by fussy cutting some of the floral images from the black & white patterned paper. I then painted up the images.
I used the Don't Citron Me -Coloringz to apply paint to the leaves. I then used Pink Stilettos - Coloringz, Freshly Minted - Inklingz, Stay Posy-tive -Shimmerz, and Daffodil - Creameez (Available in the bonus bundle) to paint the florals. I love the way these large florals turned out! If you haven't painted on the Shimmerz Paints papers you need to give it a try.
Next I started on the base of my page. I pulled out a piece of white 12x12 mixed media card stock. I applied modeling paste through a stencil and set aside to dry. My stenciling is very subtle but I think it adds a nice little detail. Then I applied some Dusty Concord purple Distress Oxide ink to the center of my page. I applied the beautiful Stay Posy-tive Shimmerz and Pink Stilettos Coloringz to the inked portion and kind of mixed the two colors spreading out from the center.
The photos I'm documenting today are of myself trying on Lululemon leggings. My boyfriend Dale bought me my very first pair. So fun!!!! I print all my pictures at home using the Epson Picture Mate 400. My photos are printed to 2.5x4.5. I enjoy printing at home and being able to choose the size photos I print. I used one of the pretty purple patterned papers included in the kit along the center of my page. I matted that paper in black and distressed all the edges.
I added some of the heart ephemera, the film strip, and my title Spring. I love the Dotz that come in the Color Kitz. The selfie dotz was perfect for my page since after all this is a selfie photo. I placed some tangled thread behind my dotz for some extra interest. I also added a few of the sequins that came in this month's bonus bundle. They are so pretty! I really like all the colors in them. I have a full tutorial over on YouTube.
Don't forget to add my name to your Shimmerz Paints order to receive a free paint!
Happy Crafting,
