Hi
everyone, it's Niki (@nikiclairecreates) here with you today with a new layout using the June Color
Kitz and a process video too. The Kitz comes with five Shimmerz Paints, a pack of exclusive Dotz,
customizable die cut tags and an exclusive cut file: I’ve got that Sunshine in
my Pocket which is super fun. The Shimmerz Paints colours are: Sapphire Spritz,
Powder Puff Spritz, Elfin Magic Vibez, Strawberry Fields Creameez, Great Fruit
Creameez. I love these colours so much, they totally remind me of summer!
I started
with a sheet of Marshmallow cardstock for my background and then added the five
colours of Shimmerz to the background in wide vertical stripes. I started with
Sapphire on the right side. I used a wide paintbrush to get this effect but it
wouldn’t fit in the bottle, so I poured some of the paint onto a craft sheet
and picked it up from there. I did the same with Powder Puff, then Elfin Magic.
For the two pink colours of Creameez, I added water to the pots, let them sit
for a couple of minutes, then painted directly out of the pot. I left my
background to dry then splattered all over it with white acrylic paint.
I then
worked on the cut file. I just wanted the words ‘sunshine in my pocket’ so I
trimmed the cut file so I just had the words I wanted. I backed the open words
in a red patterned paper from Simple Stories Sunkissed. I then added the cut
file title to my layout on the darker pink stripe. I raised it on foam pads for
extra dimension.
I also
painted the customizable die cut tags with the same colours and set those aside
to dry.
I added my
two photo to the layout and arranged the painted die cut tags in the same
colour areas of the layout. I then carried on with this with the other
embellishments I used. I used lots of word labels and I stuck those in the same
orientation as the cut file title. I added the three exclusive Dotz to the
layout, again in the colour blocking style.
I finished
off with some sequins by Spiegelmom Scraps, a few more embellishments and my
journaling which I wrote directly onto the painted tags! I really love how this
one turned out. Here is another look at the finished layout:
Thank you so much for joining me today and happy scrapping. Don't forget that if you place an order via the Shimmerz store, add my name in the comments to get a little freebie! Enjoy the process video below.
