Shimmerz Rainbow

I hope you are all doing well and having a fantastic day. Ericka here playing with the Shimmerz Paints and making a fun rainbow card.

I love all the beautiful and bright Shimmerz available and thought I'd play around making a rainbow. I stamped the Essentials by Ellen Over It rainbow in embossing ink so I could see the lines and  I started painting.

I used  the following Shimmerz colors to make my rainbow:

• Crimson Tide
• Orange Sherbet
• Bumbly Bee
• Evergreen
• Tickle Me Turquoise
• Royal Purple

I love how bright and fun this rainbow came out. Once it was dry, I added stars to the bottom and heat embossed them with WOW! Embossing Cloud 9. I added the sentiment in black ink and then for a little extra shine, used WOW! Embossing Pink Fizz for the hearts.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week and let your true colors show!

Here for You Always

Hello Shimmerz fanz! Ericka here today with a shimmery card using a bunch of fun Shimmerz products.

I love all these fun colors together and how pretty they are on this Butterfly Blossom from Reverse Confetti. I started by stamping the butterfly with Versfine ink and clear heat embossing it. Then I picked out a mixture of Shimmerz, Creameaz, and Inklingz that would look pretty together.

I painted my butterfly with the following:
Shimmerz - Tickle Me Turquoise, Royal Purple, Jilted Jade, Bumbly Bee, and Bubble Gum Blast
Creameaz - Lettuce Get Together and 1 Hot Mama
Inklingz - Precious Peony

While the butterfly dried, I worked on a background. I decided to take Vibez Princess and Sweet Heart and spray them on my craft mat and take some plastic and smoosh it on my watercolor paper. I also sprayed Shimmeringz Goldie Lox all over the base to give a light shimmer and then splattered a little Glorious Day for some golden yellow highlights,

Once my panel dried, I used a die cut on the base and popped up the middle with some foam tape. I also added foam tape to the butterfly and finished the card with some sequins. Check out the pretty shine of all of these fun Shimmerz Paints products.

Thanks for stopping by and for more information on how I created my card, feel free to stop by my blog Strangely Creative.

More Summer Fun | Ericka Strange

Hello Shimmerz Fanz and Happy Summer! I hope you are all enjoying the your summer and hopefully a more relaxing pace. Ericka here with a couple of cards I made using the free Summer Fun cut file shared on the Facebook page Shimmerz Paints Sharez. Hopefully you are already part of the group, if not click on the name above and join up for some fun giveaways, contest and challenges this Summer!

This cut file was so fun to play with and there are so many great ways to use it. For my first card I used the whole cute file and made a square card measuring 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". I wanted to use all of these fun designs and cut them on my Silhouette. Once they were cut, I used a variety of Shimmerz to paint the images. Check out the products below for a list of colors.

After my page dried, I removed the cut portions and used spray adhesive to adhere it to a white card base.

I was tempted to leave the card just like this since I didn't want to cover up any of these fun images. In the end I used an older cut file and added the sentiment using black vinyl and vellum.

For my second card, I used only half of the cute file and made a regular A2 card.

I traced out where I wanted to place the cute file on watercolor paper and then filled in the blocks with Shimmerz Bumble Bee, Pip Pip Cherry O, Peacock's Plum and Orange Sherbet.

I used the same sentiment for the card with black vinyl and vellum.

For my third card I used Spritz in Caribbean Sunset and Sapphire on watercolor card stock.

I sprayed the Caribbean Sunset and let the layer dried and then used the Sapphire. This cut file has so many great options.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to check out my blog Strangely Creative for more details. I hope you get a chance to snag this awesome file and make some fun summer projects.

Purple Shimmer Gardenia | Ericka Strange

Hello Shimmerz fans! I hope you are having a wonderful week and are looking forward to the weekend. Ericka here today with a thank you card using some beautiful purple Shimmerz and Vibez sprays.

Aren't these purples gorgeous? I stamped the image on water color paper using Versmark ink and heat embossed it with WOW Clear Sparkle powder. It added just enough sparkle that I could do some watercoloring of these beautiful flowers. I then sprayed the Vibez Princess onto a pallet and laid down a layer of color. Once the layer was dry, I added some Royal Purple Shimmerz to the shadow areas of the petals and blended them out.

Talk about sparkle! Both the Shimmerz and Vibez complement each other so well and the embossing powder just adds a touch more sparkle.  I used Steely Blue Eyes Inklings for the leaves to finish off the image. I stamped the sentiment in Versafine ink and heat embossed it with the same embossing powder to add a little sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Snow Very Much

Happy Wednesday Shimmerz fans! It's Ericka here and I can't believe it is almost December. I hope you had a chance to take advantage of some of the awesome Shimmerz Paints deals this last week as well as getting some Christmas shopping done. I'm continuing with our fun Design Team Challenge this month. I used Elfin' Magic Vibez along with some other awesome Shimmerz products and our new stamp You're Snow Amazing.

Isn't this snowman adorable? I love his hat and his cute little friends, such a perfect winter scene.
I started by stamping the image in Versafine ink on watercolor paper and heat embossing it with Polysparkle embossing powder. I then used my Elfin' Magic Vibez as a paint and colored in the hat and scarf. I love the bright green of this spray as well as the shine it has on paper.

I used a little Gold Glimmer Blingz on the snowman to give him a little shine and added some Vibez Snow Storm to blend in a whiter look.

I love the bright colors of the Shimmerz so used a variety in my card. See below for my supply list.

I finished the card by painting the sky using Shimmerz Ultra Marine, Sugar Plum and Royal Purple to give it a cold night air look. I added white paint splatters and the snowflakes included in the stamp set for snowy look.

I love how easy these Shimmerz products are to use together and how well they blend together leaving behind a beautiful shimmer to any project.
