Winter card with Yuko

Hello! Shimmerz fun!

Today I made a card "joy" image of winter.

I used a lot of my favorite color blue!

【joy】

I used a lot of kinds of snow crystals.

Chip board, punch, die-cut, etc.

It painted gesso to all.And it was a mist over it.

Blue was used but two colors, and easy to use because shading can be expressed.

It is beautiful with sparkling When  mist the Baby’sBreath in the entire last.

Painting Watercolor Style with Gabrielle {Video Tutorial}

Hi All, Gabrielle here with you today to share my latest layout using Shimmerz Paints!  I find for the past year or so I have found myself obsessed with the look of watercolor paints, I just love the pretty translucence of it.  So for my project today I thought I would take some watercolor paper and Shimmerz Paints and create my own watercolor background design.

These are the Shimmerz Paints products I used on this page (above).  REMEMBER....if you are looking to order some Shimmerz Paints products, just mention my name 'Gabrielle' in the INSTRUCTIONS TO MERCHANT/Seller part of your order and you will receive a FREE/Bonus Shimmerz Paint product in the color of your choice! :)  You can order your Shimmerz Paints HERE.

As always, I have created a step by step video to show you how this page was made, hope you enjoy!....


Here are a few close-ups of the page to enjoy at your leisure....

I used some new Dusty Attic chipboard designs for this page design (Spring Blossoms #2), first giving them a coat of white Gesso, then applying my translucent color layers.....allowing the colors to lightly bleed into each other as watercolors are apt to do.

I painted the butterflies using a BoBunny Butterfly stamp with a very light ink just to give me the barest outline of the butterfly.  Then wet the wings with plain water and just dabbed in a little color with the Shimmerz paints (Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz, Power to the Purple Creameez, Glorious Day Vibez).  I then added a bit of background stamping with a few of my own stamp designs (Script and chickenwire....these can be found at The Scrapbook Diaries).

I also masked off a section of the background paper behind the photo to create a color block on which I used the Glorious Day Vibez, Chocolate Brownie Coloringz and let some of the Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz run into it so that it seems like the flower is bleeding some of its color onto the background.

I hope you enjoyed today's post and hope you give some of the techniques I employed a try, ....happy crafting! xo

Beautiful blue card

Hello!　It's Yuko

I made the card which imaged summer.

The summer sea is blue and is beautiful！

【beautiful】

 I like blue in a mist of shimmerz very much!

I used VIBEZ Jeni B Blue /COLORLINGZ Heidi Ho Blue this time.

Bamboo Leaf has been added to the accent a little.

It issued a clear sense to use the glass beads and clear button.

Work to put the shade is very fun!

Beginning the New Year with Tranquility!

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!

I am the luckiest MAMA in the world.

Hello hello.
It's Naomi here and today I'd like to share an LO with a picture which I took on Mother's day last month.
As most of us (mothers) are the photographers (and the chefs and the cleaners, ect..) in everyday life, we don't get to be in pictures as often as we SHOULD.
I am glad I made an effort to take some shots of the children and myself on Mother's day with a self timer. (how clever are you, Self timer!!)
It's not a perfect one but "I"am in it with the kids and that's what counts, right?

Here is the LO.

For the background, I firstly applied gesso all over the patterned paper very lightly so that the pattern is still visible not completely hidden.
For the texture, I glued some strips of old dressmaking paper
Then I applied the products below to create interesting new pattern along with the original pattern underneath.

• VIBEZ Fiery Fiesta
• VIBEZ Rusty Bottom
• COLORINGZ No Yoking
•  VIBEZ Sea Monkey
• SHIMMERZ Coffee

For the canvas butterfly, I painted it with

• SPRITZ Sea Form
• SHIMMERZ Coffee
• VIBEZ Hermit the Frog
• COLORINGZ Heidi-Ho-Blue
• VIBEZ Sea Monkey
• COLORINGZ Mama sings the Blue

and for the finishing shinny touch, I applied

• ENAMELZ Sparklicious

I have to say I LOVE how the butterfly turned out using shimmerz.

Thank you for stopping by.
I hope you are all having a lovely weekend!
