Lovely- Scrapbooking Mixed Media Tutorial With Irit

Hi! Irit here with a new project I'm very excited to share! For this layout I used a beautiful rainbow of Coloringz and some Dazzlerz. Here's the finished page-

I started this project with some Canson drawing paper and used Coloringz and the packaging technique to create some pretty watercolor-like stains.

Coloringz used-

No Yolking

Peachy Keen

Pretty in Pink

Pink Stilettos

Don't Citron Me

Oh Say Can You Sea

Well Blue Me Down

Heidi Ho Blue

I then used a Mama Elephant flower stamp (the set is called Lovely Mum) and white embossing powder to emboss the flower. I cut it out and created two rows of flowers.

To create a lovely subtle textured background I used Dazzlers in Spun Sugar and Coral Me Crazy. I loved how that looked, but not together with the flowers, so I covered most with white paint, which lightened the color but kept the texture. Next I added lots of splatters in Taupe Of The Morning (a gorgeous shimmery grey Vibez spray) to the background.

 Finished touches were embellishments from Crate Paper and Maggie Holmes.

Here's a video that shows exactly how to create this layout, step be step-

Be Brave

Hi! Irit here with a new layout using some of my favorite colors of Shimmerz goodies, but this time I'm creating a summer layout. I really love the contrast of all those corals and pinks with the blue water.

I started with watercolor paper, as I knew I was going to use lots of water with my Inklingz and Creameez. To get that beautiful stained watercolored look, you really need to work in layers. Apply one layer of color, let it dry, and then go back and add more color where needed. I like to start with softer colors and work my way to the brighter ones.

On this project I started with Inklingz in Bahama Mama, She Packs A Punch, Can't Elope and Creameez in Daffodil. In the second layer I added the slightly darker Trippin In The Tropics and Good Ol' Summer Time. I also added splatters in each layer. For my last layer I pulled out some more intense shades. I used Vibez in Mango Tango and Pop Art Pink as well as Coloringz in Pretty in Pink (that's the darker pink you can see splattered in the photo above).

I let everything completely dry, and then pulled out my obsession these days... Dazzlers. I just love these shimmery colorful pastes. They are gorgeous and a pleasure to work with. I used a Heidi Swapp Stencil and 3 colors of Dazzlers- Tutti Frutti, Coral Me Crazy and Dreamscicle. You can see in the video exactly how I applied them to get a lovely color variation.

I just love how all the layers of watercolors peek between the stencil image. I finished my layout with some papers layered behind my photo and lots of Crate Paper Wonder embellishments that fit my color scheme perfectly.

Here's the video that shows the entire process-
