Many Thanks for Fall

Hello Again!  

Lee Ann here, with another card for you, this one with a fall vibe.  It's getting to be that time of year, 

even though it may not feel like it!  Once school has started, I am ready to break

out all things autumn!

Watercolor paper is the base of this panel.  I started with a light wash of 4 paints then let the

paints dry.  The paints I used are~

Creameez Dandy-Lion

Creameez Berry Hot

Creameez Just Peachy

Inklingz Bahama Mama

While waiting for the paint to dry, I die cut my leaf in vellum and then the skeleton of my leaf from 

a berry color cardstock.   

Once the wash of paint was dry, I adhered a A Colorful Life Stencil, which was spritzed lightly with Pixie Spray, applied a light wash of water to the panel and then  added the same four colors of paint randomly over the stencil.  Because I only used a light amount of Pixie Spray, much of the water and paint oozed under the stencil,but I decided I liked this grungier, less than perfect look.  

Because of all of the intermingling of paints, I got a lot of shimmer, even though 3 

of my paints were Creameez; Creameez are watercolor paints with just a hint of shimmer.  Pair them with the Inklingz- they are also watercolors, but they are chock full of glorious shimmer- and you get shimmer everywhere! 

  I absolutely love how this panel turned out!  

I die cut the painted panel, then adhered a matching cardstock strip, some black and white striped paper, the leaf, and sentiment with some gold thread, nested beneath it.  

I hope you have been inspired to break out your Shimmerz Paints and all things fall!  

And don't forget, the NEW Shimmerz Paints Color Kitz are in the store!  

Should you decide to do a little retail therapy at the Shimmerz Paints store, don't

Swatching Creameez and Shimmerz | Simone Schermann

Hello Shimmerz Fans. Even though I am not an art journaler I love watching other artist share their journaling process on youtube. This is how I found this idea that I had to try when I recently received a small package full of Creameez and Shimmerz. As I told you in my very first blogpost for Shimmerz in the beginning of the year, I am still new to mixed media and all the beautiful products Shimmerz offers and so I wanted to test out these paints before adding more of them to my stash. And let me just tell you, I'm in love!

Instead of swatching my paints on a piece of paper, I followed an idea that I saw James Burke do in one of his recent videos. He jokingly called it "Neighborhood Swatch Tutorial". The rectangular swatches are arranged horizontally across your paper and colors are repeated, then using a pen, all you do is draw quirky houses on top of the rectangles. And that is basically it!

If you have ever watched from the sidelines (like me) when others just do and create beautiful artwork and itched to try but never knew how and where to start, this is another way of dipping your toes. You do not need a lot of supplies: use paints you have on hand, mists like the Vibes and Coloringz or paints like the Creameez, Shimmerz or Inklingz work perfectly fine for this. You only need three of four different colors, a paint brush and paper and a pen. I, again, used what I had on hand, a black Sharpie Pen.

After my first try in the sketch book that I usually use to swatch paints which I was basically doing as well, I decided that I loved this so much, I would do another set of houses in my weekly traveler's notebook insert. I cannot wait to share this page with you on instagram once it is finished!
