Stamping With Shimmerz | A tutorial With Irit

Hi! Irit here and I'm happy to share with you a new project today, showing a great stamping wtih Shimmerz technique! Here's my finished scrapbook layout-

I used the new Tim Holtz stamping platform and Dylusions stamps. I simply sprayed some shimmerz directly onto the stamp and stamped it. The look is like watercolors, the more water the messier.  Colors I used : Coloringz in Peachy Keen, Vibez in Snow Way Man and Jeni B Bleu, Spritz in Tuscan Sun & Caribbean Sunset.

 

Once dry I added my photo, papers and embellishments. I used an older Felicity Jane kit called Willow.

Make sure you watch the process video to see how simple the technique is!

Wild Caught

I was attracted to the dark murky dusty colors with subtle hints of cream, and peachy/coral colors illuminated by the light.  Desperately wanting to create with this photo, I quickly took inventory of my Shimmerz Paints inventory, and “voila.”  I had all the colors I needed to create an art journal entry entitled, “Wild Caught.” 

Here’s how I created a paper swimming hole for my dear mermaid who appears to be young, and fortunately for me inexperienced about such matters as getting caught by a hungry creative soul like myself. 

Book Pages:

White gesso over portions of book pages.

Clear gesso over the white gesso so that the mist colors won’t be resisted by the white gesso.

Stamp, using water resist ink, and emboss over various areas of the paper.

Spray a light mist of water over the book pages to help absorb the following Shimmer Paints:

Shimmeringz – Heavy Metal

Vibez – Deep Blue Sea

Sptiz –Olive Branch

Paper Clay Starfish:  I hand cut this starfish out of paper clay to use as an embellishment and applied some Shimmerz Peachy Keen, Taupe of the Morning, and Deep Blue Sea. 

Chipboard embellishments were posted in an earlier post of mine with all the details. You may find details here.

She’s such a pretty mermaid….I may have to set her free.

I hope I have inspired you to create something whimsical in your art using Shimmerz Paint Products.

Together, a layout using the new products by Karine

Hi,

January is such an exciting month over here, at Shimmerz Paints, with the new products released! I'm so happy to be working with those products.

My first share this month, I used both Paste-Eez and AcriTonez on my layout.

Together

To create my background, I used Peach Fuzz Paste-Eez through a checkers stencil. To add contrast, I used Lava Flow Paste-Eez through a typewriter text stencil. 

It was pretty as is, but I thought I would add some mists, just to unify everything. I used Peachy Keen Coloringz with a brush, making drops and little «pools» of colors.

I also added Truffle Spritz, using the same techniques as I did with the Coloringz. The soft grey color add just enough interest to the background.

Look at the gorgeous background I got! Isn't it pretty? 

I used some stamps to add even more texture.

I painted my 2Crafty Chipboards pieces (Squiggly Heart Cluster and Mini Word Set 2) with 3 Sheets to the Wind Acritonez.
