Happy Tuesday, Shimmerz fans! I have a layout to share with you today that I created using Acritonez, Coloringz, and Aqua Huez! 

I started by choosing a black and white patterned paper sheet that had small hearts on it from my stash. I used some Acritonez in "3 Sheets To The Wind" and a dry paintbrush to drag the self-priming acrylic paint across the main part of my background paper. This helped add a little texture and prepped the paper for some Coloringz spray ink and Aqua Huez.

Next, I used some Aqua Huez watercolors in "Little Lily", "African Violet", and "Green with Envy" and blotted them around my page using a paper towel and some water for a subtle effect. I also added a little bit of Acritonez self-priming acrylic paint in "Pinkadelic" for a bolder pop of color.

I layered an all white cut file on top of my background design and placed the photos of my blooming Red Bud tree near the middle. I also used some Coloringz spray ink in "Punked Up Purple" and "No Yoking" to add some accent color splotches around my layout.

I added a few floral die cuts from Pink Paislee, some enamel dots, and some chipboard stickers for my embellishments to complete my page!

Don't be afraid to mix colors and different Shimmerz products! Thanks so much for joining me and I hope you have a great day! 

Pops of sprayed color stars in this Thank You card

Hi Everyone, Beck Beattie today with a fun background to a sweet card I created using the my Shimmerz sprays to contrast against neutral tones of the pattern papers, florals and die cuts.

 Products Used:

Shimmerz Vibes Pop Art Pink
Shimmerz Spritz - Ruby
Shimmerz Spritz Cotton Candy

Other products:
Bella! New York Paperz 'Join Together' pattern paper
Bella Fundamentals doilies
Bella Fundametals square cards - grey
Ruby Rock-It Faded Empire Collection Florals
RG Silver and gold collection - full bloom
Fun Stampers Journey - 'Circle Bliss' stencil
silver cord
white and grey cardstock

To create the colorful contrasting background I first layered up the three colors of Shimmerz sprays overlapping some of the colors in areas.  I then dried off this layer before adding and additional layer using a stencil.  I used the stencil by spraying the 'Pop Art Pink' onto the stencil and then stamped with it over the now colored cardstock.

To create the contrast I then added a number of die cuts in a neutral tone (Grey) and adhered them cutting off the excess before adding this onto my card with pattern paper and florals and embellishments.

The Shimmers sprayed color really pops against the grey die cuts and the effect looks so wonderful!
Here are some more pics so you can get up close to my project today :)

I Hope you enjoyed my share today.

Happy Crafting!
