Purple crazy.

Hello! It’s Naomi here.
Today I'd like to share an LO with lots of purples.
I have to admit that Purple is one of my very favourite colours!


Here are the products I used;

• VIBEZ Princess
• VIBEZ Grape Escape
• SPIRITZ Sapphire
• COLORINGZ Mon shan
• PEARLZ Luscious Lilac

And here is the LO.

I know it’s crazy (again?) but I had so much fun using different shades of purples.
Thank you for visiting and wishing you a lovely weekend.

A little grafitti style spraying.

I have another page to share today.  I went a little crazy with the paint and did some graffiti style spritzing.
I have played like this many times in my Art Journal, but this time I applied this crazy spraying to a page.
I used a previous Palette over at The Color Room, (#56-such pretty colours!).....so many of the palettes are easily done using Shimmerz Paints....It actually makes colour selecting a breeze.

For this page I decided my paints in the background would represent my colours, and all the extra embellishing would be white.  So here is what it turned out like.....

.....this page includes the paper tape I created using stamps and Shimmerz Paints!!!  

(You can see how I did that in this video tutorial  HERE.)

I used texture paste on the white background, then sprayed, stamped, masked and stencilled it with Jeni B Bleu in VIBEZ, Chick-a-dee and Ruby in SPRITZ and Luscious Lilac in PEARLZ.  I created drips and splats to add texture to the spray and paint to concentrate the colour a little.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting my art out with this one!

Maybe you feel the need to spray a little now???

Thanks for stopping by.

Hooray for Halloween!

I don't know about you, but FALL and Halloween are two of my favorites things in life. There is something miraculous about the metamorphosis of the hot, hot summer melting away into the cooler and more colorful Fall.
And what isn't to love about Halloween? Trips to the pumpkin patch, corn mazes, warm apple cider and all of those cute little ghosties trick or treating....and I can't forget the candy!
So for the rest of the month, the Shimmerz DT is going to be sharing some fabulous, shimmery, spooky and creative Halloween ideas...BUT we want YOU to play along with us.
What's in it for you? How about the chance to win a spooktacular Shimmerz prize pack that Stacey has so generously put together. Complete with all the colors you will need to create your own Halloween projects, this prize could be yours if you play along:

Simply create a Halloween project using Shimmerz products and link it to this post. We will be picking a winner on the spookiest day of the year: Halloween!

Here is a project to help get your creative mojo flowing:

Here is a spooky layout of my daughter all dressed up as a dark fairy and she ummm fit the mood perfectly! I used several different Shimmerz products and techniques to create this layout. First I painted the background using a foam brush with our new Luscious Lilac Pearlz.

 Then I wanted to add some spurts of orange on there...and what better color than our new Carrot Top Pearlz? I smeared a bit on the corners with my fingers, then used the tip of my finger to fling paint across my page. I like that kind of sporadic look and the texture. The pearlz paints are nice and thick, just perfect for creating little pools of color!

And no project is complete without a large dosing of BLINGZ. I used it here on top of a cut out flocked crow. He was just begging for some Hi Ho Silver Blingz!

And once again, the final shimmery project:

 

I invite YOU to come create along with us and don't forget to LINK to this post! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

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!

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!
