Every DROP counts!

Hi everyone! LG here sharing with you a project that I made using some CHA Summer 2010 release from Shimmerz Paints.

I made this layout to showcase how fun and spontaneous Shimmerz paints are. by simply spraying, dropping, splattering on a paper, you can create a very artistic and cool design. On this page, I have used Shimmerz Vibez Pop Art Pink, a cotton candy pink with a HUGE gold shimmer to it, and Pearlz Blue by You.

There are no accidents when we talk about creativity. Just let go and don't be afraid of messing up your page. Shimmerz paints are so easy to work with. On this layout, I initially just sprayed some Pop Art Pink randomly on my page to add the gold-pinking shimmer that I want and added a lot of paint drops using Blue by You.

To add more texture, I sprinkled some glass glitter directly to the droplets while it was still wet.

She Dreamt

I ran across an old photo of my Zoe girl from several years ago. She was really into the fairy thing from the ages of 3-6 and I swear must have been a fairy every year for Halloween. Her Auntie Jeannie had sent her this adorable Tinkerbell costume as a surprise one year for her birthday. And that costume got a ton of use and was SO much fun for using in photoshoots.
I paired the Tinkerbell costume with our new Pearlz colors: Peas B Mine, Blue By You and Luscious Lilac.

Here I created a tissue flower by using some of my left over tissue from a party bag and painting the tops with the Luscious Lilac Pearlz. A quick smear of Peas Be Mine connects the colors in the page. And check out the SHIMMER on those PEARLZ! See all that sparkle!

Here I summoned the spirit of one of my all time favorite painters and quirky men: Bob Ross
Bob likes to use two different colors on his paint brushes and loads one color on each side, I did the same here and you get this great blend of colors. From turquoise to green and then a beautiful mix of both. Once again, check out that Shimmer!!!

And my finished product ends up like this! Smears of paint, acting as anchors for my whole page, with little stamps of luscious lilac connecting the dots. Sometimes using Shimmerz paints can be just as simple as going back to the basics, making friends with your paint brush again and letting it do all the work!

Love my Shimmerz!!

Good day ladies, by now I am sure you've figured out I love the paint splatter technique. It adds instant interest and artistic quality to any project.

Here I splattered Blue By You Pearlz, Sunset Strip Vibez, & Licorice Spritz on the background of my kraft paper.









On this layout I sprayed Sunset Strip Vibez on the background, and RazzleDazzle Berry Vibez on the kraft envelope, along with a little Licorice Spritz. My Prima flower was enhanced with RazzleDazzle Berry Vibez as well. And the tree on this layout cut from my cricut machine (stretch your imagination cartridge) and painted with Peas B Mine Pearlz. The color is amazing on this tree.





Happy Scrapping ladies!!

Beautiful You!

I really think that Stacey and Dave nailed it on the head when they came up with the newest release of colors! They mix so beautifully together.

I created this layout for the Shimmerz Booth for CHA using Peas B Mine, Blue By You Pearlz paints and Pop Art Pink and Fiery Fiesta Vibez.

Pop Art Pink is perfect for using on any flowers that you may have! Look at the Shimmer on that bad boy!

But not to be left behind: Blue By You is creamy and luscious with a beautiful hint of turquoise!

And when you mix ALL of the colors together the result that you get is harmonious and eye catching:

                                     

I was a bit hesitant to use all the colors at first, but taking cues from my picture, I realized that they would work soo well together. The Blue By You matches Zoe's eyes, the Fiery Fiesta and Pop Art Pink bring out her hair and the Peas B Mine, grabs the grassy background and makes it all pop.

So don't hesitate, use all of those new colors together. They will be happy and so will YOU!

Shimmerz CHA Summer 2010 Release!

Are you ready? I said, are you ready? Good. Because we have some gorgeous new colors just aching to be seen.
Wait for it, wait for it......
OK NOW! Introducing the Shimmerz Summer Collection:

                                    

Aren't they beautiful? Our two new Shimmerz Vibez colors are Fiery Fiesta (shown left) and Pop Art Pink (shown right). Fiery Fiesta is a beautiful light colored orange (I would liken it to orange sherbert but daker) with a light gold shimmer and Pop Art Pink is this great cotton candy pink with a HUGE gold shimmer to it. We have never had a color like Pop Art Pink before!

Our 3 beautiful new Pearlz colors are (from top to bottom) Blue By You, Peas-B-Mine and Luscious Lilac. You will be impressed with their density and coverage. They are more thick, luscious and creamy then ever before. Plus these colors play sooo well together!

These fabulous colors will be available for purchase on our website on Tuesday, July 27th. Be on the look out for a special online CHA promotion next week as well. Plus, if you are attending CHA stop on by our booth. We are partnering up with Glitz Designs in booth #839!
