Mixed media card with a Steampunk Industrial feel

Hey everyone its Beck BT here again with another card, and this time I have gone a bit Steampunk/Industrial for a masculine feel card.

I created a video for you today showing my process as well for you to enjoy.

Shimmerz Products used:

Shimmerz Inklingz - Good as Gold, Brass Knuckles, Sheer Bliss, 
Tarnished Treasure, Penny 4 your thoughts

Shimmerz Texturez - Gold Mine

Here is where I have used all the various Shimmerz products:

I also stamped with the 'Penny 4 your Thoughts' Inklingz on top of the above stenciling using the Indigoblu bubble stamp (check it out in the video!)

Here are some more pictures so you can get up close and personal with all the fun layers and texture.

 Thanks so much for heading over to the blog today to check out my project!  I hope I've inspired you and shown you how lovely a little Shimmerz yumminess can easily create amazing cards!

Don't forget to mention my name when you order for some free product!  WOOT!  

Till next time

Hi Shimmerz Fans! It's Gabrielle here with you today to share with you my latest Mixed Media Canvas using some of those, oh so gorgeous Shimmerz paints products!  This month I combined Shimmerz Paints with some of my favorite Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces.  I based my project on the January Mood Board from Dusty Attic.  I found all the perfect colors to match the moodboard in my Shimmerz paints stash!  Here are the Shimmerz Paints products I used for this project....

Shimmerz Paints Products used in this project:

~ Moody Mauve Coloringz

~ Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz

~ Tuscan Sun Spritz

~ Don't Be Suede Coloringz

~ A Shade of Grey Coloringz

~ Spiced Cider Blingz

~ Blue My Mind Inklingz

~ Good as Gold Inkingz

~ Gosh Garnet Inklingz

Yep, I used a lot of Coloringz...I just love the rich intense color you get with these color sprays!  As always, I created a Video Tutorial for you all, so that you can see step by step how I put this project together.  Grab yourself your favorite beverage, kick back, relax and enjoy!....

Here are a few close-ups of today's project that you can view at your leisure...

I love the lovely metalic sheen the Inklingz give to the chipboard pieces!

I like to apply my colors in 2 ways, layering them on and drying between layers....this can give a nice intense coloring to your project.  I also like to apply complimentary colors in different sections of the canvas at the same time and let the colors blend together in some areas, this creates a variety of colors on your canvas.  As you can see above adding the Blue My Mind Inklings to the Good as Gold while still wet, created a lovely hints of green on my chipboard pieces.

I love the intense blue I got with the Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz. To get even more depth of color, I added a spritz of 'A Shade of Grey' Coloringz to each of the corners layering it over the blue....this gave me deep intense color on my canvas.

I hope you all enjoyed my project and video tutorial today!  And hope I've inspired you to give these gorgeous products a go!  You can order your own Shimmerz Paints directly from their website Shimmerz Paints Store, and don't forget!....Just mention my name 'Gabrielle' in the 'Instructions to Merchant/seller' part of your next Shimmerz paint purchase and you will get a FREE/Bonus Shimmerz Paints product in the color of your choice!
