Journal With Irit

Hi! Irit here and I'm so excited to share my latest projects for Shimmerz! For the month of May I decided to play in my art journal. Here's what I created-

I started with AcriTonez in 3 Sheets to the Wind and Pinkadelic, and the rest of the mess was using Coloringz in Pink Stilettos, Pretty in Pink and No Yoking. You can see the entire process in the video tutorial I prepared!

Here are some close ups, and don't forget to mention my name when placing an order on the Shimmerz site to receive a freebie!

Live a Colorful Life Art Journal Page | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share a fun Art Journal Page. For this page,  I just wanted to play with pretty spring colors. I wasn't sure exactly how this would turn out but I love how it did.  I was inspired by a chipboard word from the Pink Paislee Fancy Free Collection. I pulled out colors that would match this collection. I am working in my Daler-Rowney Mixed Media Travelbook.

I began with a small experiment which didn't really work out too well. LOL. I used some gloss medium which I had put into a fineline bottle and added some clusters of dots on my page above my chipboard word. My thought was that it would act as a resist when I used the watercolors over it. In the end it didn't shown up too well. Next time I'll have to add bigger dots.

I started layering my colors directly on my page. I used several  Creameez and one Coloringz. I began with the Coloringz in No Yoking and added color using the packaging technique and spread it out using my paint brush. Then I added my Creameez which  have a pretty touch of Shimmer to them. I used Boogie Boardin Blue, Refresh Mint, Lettuce Get Together, Tripping' in the Tropics, Great Fruit, My Clementine, and Cheeky Pink. I made sure to spread the colors out as evenly as I could throughout my spread. I added in some small flowers which I had fussy cut from a Patterned paper from the Fancy Free  collection.

I used the new Acritonez in 3 Sheets to the wind and added some white dots throughout  as well as some black splatters. I added my Colorful chipboard word and some scallop half circles which I had used on a previous project. To add some additional detail, I added faux stitching around the Colorful word and the half circles. I also used a circle stencil and traced some small circles in black pen. I added a few Tim Holts tiny word stickers and I finished it off with a messy double line around the whole page. I love how it turned out. 

There is a video on my channel if you'd like to watch:

Art Journaling With Irit

Hi! Irit here and I'm so excited to share with you my latest project for Shimmerz. Today I'm showing you how to create a simple and lovely art journal spread using Shimmerz goodies. Here's my finished project-

I started by simply spreading Acritonez in 3 sheets to the wind and pinkadelic. These paints dry super fast, so I could move on to the next step almost immediately.

I added some messy circle lines and lots of splatters with Coloringz in Well Blue Me Down, Glorious Days and Jeni B Blue Vibez.

I love how the ink sprays behave differently on Acritonez. It's almost like a bokeh effect.  Next I added some photos and patterned paper from Maggie Holmes Bloom collection.  To make it feel more like a part of the art journal I colored some of the edges in Sky's the Limit and Refresh mint Creameez. 

There's also a video tutorial-

Hello Shimmerz addicts,

Today, it's my turn to post on the blog. I am so happy to be part of this team.
It is really a pleasure to play with inks and paintings ... The pastes and textures of "TEXTUREZ"

For his 2 sheaves I played with the "TEXTUREZ" and "SHIMMERZ"

To start, I spread out using my knife, "texture" Gold mine, its sanded texture gives a dimension and texture to the creation. Once dry, I spread out my "texture" Sandy stone, and once again dried.

Once all is dry, I have using my "Acritonez" 3 Sheets to the Wind, apply with my brush to some place to soften...
Then, place at my favorite moment: the assembly of the sheave.

Once every embellishment in its place, up to more colors ... And this time I used my "Shimmerz" Golden Wheat, to apply to some places of my embellishments.

I hope you like it ...

Used media:

- Texturez ( Gold Mine )

- Texturez ( Sandy Stone )

- AcriTonez ( 3 Sheets To The Wind )

- Shimmerz ( Golden Wheat )

See you soon

And good Shimmerz

Snapchat Cuties | Scrapbooking Tutorial with Irit

Hi! Irit here with a new project I created using some of the lovely new Acritonez and Pasteez! Here's the finished layout-

To create my background I used AcriTonez in Pinkadelic, Blue My Top and 3 Sheets To The Wind. To get that soft peachy color at the top I added a drop of No Yoking Coloringz  to my white and pink mixture. I spread the colors with an old gift card and let them dry, which takes no time at all. These paints dry super fast, perfect for impatient scrapbookers! 

For those fun dots I used Pasteez in Baby Boy Blue and Raspberry Sherbert, and a stencil. I spread the pastes with a palette knife, mixing them in certain areas. The mix beautifully!

 

There's also, of course, a video tutorial-

Happy - A Purple Layout from Karine

Hi there, crafty friends,

I'd like to share with you today a layout I made. As tomorrow is Valentine's day, I thought I would take a break from my usual bluish color combo and go for a more romantic color. As my last layout was pink, I thought I'd go with purple. So here is my layout.

Happy

After covering my entire background with clear gesso, I used Salt of the Earth Paste-Eez through a letter stencil. I'm loving this stencil, lately, and with Paste-Eez, I got crisp, sharp edges with no bleeding underneath the stencil I love it!

To add color to that textured background, I used a mix of Royal Purple Shimmerz, Power to the Purple Creameez, Beets Me Inklingz and Razzeldazzelberry Vibez. Look at this beautiful mix of purple I got! Can't get any better than this!

To embellish, I used one piece from the Leafy Shrub Set 1, from 2Crafty Chipboard. To color it, I used Have a Grape Day! Texturez, which I painted directly onto my chioboard. I love the shimmery finish I got, along with the great texture. 

In my embellishments clusters, I also added the Fine Leafy Bush chipboard, also from 2Crafty Chipboard, which I painted with 3 Sheets to the Wind AcriTonez. I cut it in smaller pieces and scattered those here and there.

Happiness Is This - A pink layout and a VIDEO tutorial by Karine

Hi Shimmerz fans,

Karine is here today to share a pink scrapbooking layout with you. As Valentine's Day is fast approaching, I thought it was a good idea to break out my pink supplies and get a little fun. Let's take a look at what I've created.

Going through all my pink mediums (believe me, I have a LOT!), I was inspired by the Ruby Spritz. I decided to make it my main color. 

To add a little depth to the background, I paired my main color with Caribbean Sunset and Cotton Candy Spritz. They add a softer touch to the layout. 

You can see, on the picture above, that I used Salt of the Earth Paste-Eez on my background as well, before I applied the color, just to add a nice texture. I love how the spray ink «pools» around the dried Paste-Eez. 

I used 3 Sheets to the Wind AcriTonez with water to make some white drops on the background. 

For one finishing touch, I used the Ruby Spritz to color around my word stickers (not shown on video).

All my chipboards are from 2Crafty Chipboard. 

Enjoy the process video:

Together, a layout using the new products by Karine

Hi,

January is such an exciting month over here, at Shimmerz Paints, with the new products released! I'm so happy to be working with those products.

My first share this month, I used both Paste-Eez and AcriTonez on my layout.

Together

To create my background, I used Peach Fuzz Paste-Eez through a checkers stencil. To add contrast, I used Lava Flow Paste-Eez through a typewriter text stencil. 

It was pretty as is, but I thought I would add some mists, just to unify everything. I used Peachy Keen Coloringz with a brush, making drops and little «pools» of colors.

I also added Truffle Spritz, using the same techniques as I did with the Coloringz. The soft grey color add just enough interest to the background.

Look at the gorgeous background I got! Isn't it pretty? 

I used some stamps to add even more texture.

I painted my 2Crafty Chipboards pieces (Squiggly Heart Cluster and Mini Word Set 2) with 3 Sheets to the Wind Acritonez.
