Mermaid Shimmerz | Ericka Strange

Hello Shimmerz Fanz! I hope your week is going well. Ericka here with a mermaid card I made using a variety of Shimmerz products. I love how easy it is to mix and match these products to create beautiful shine and colors in any project.

I started by creating the background for the mermaid. I wanted to see if I could get watery look with my Vibez and Shimmerz. I took Bristol Smooth paper and lightly sprayed water on one side and then using the end of the spray, took the Jeni B Bleu and Hermit the Frog and added color so that it would drip down the page. Once that layer dried, I used Shimmerz in Tickle Me Turquoise and Evergreen and added some more water and color to my brush to layer the shimmery color. While my background was drying, I stamped the mermaid and her little friends and heat embossed them with WOW Aventurine powder. This powder is a beautiful turquoise color with gold glitter which complements the Shimmerz perfectly.

I used the same Shimmerz in Tickle Me Turquoise and Evergreen and also added Bumbly Bee and 1 Hot Mama Creameez. I love how the Creameez blended with the Turquoise to give her purple highlights. Once everything was dry, I cut out my images and added them to my shimmery background.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to check out my blog for more information on how I made my card. Don't forget to check out the new and beautiful August Kitz!

Blessings in the Storm | Ericka Strange

Hello Shimmerz fans, Ericka here again with a rainy day watercolor card. I don't know about you, but here in Texas we've had our fair share of rain over the last couple of weeks. This cute set from Shimmerz called Blessing in the Storm is the perfect reminder to look on the bright side of things.

And isn't this dog is the cutest? And the sentiments are so fun!

I stamped the image in InkOn3 Fadeout ink so that I could try my hand at no line watercoloring. I started with spraying a little Chick-a-dee Spritz on my pallet and painted the yellow portions. I also used a little orange on my pallet to give a little more shading to the darker areas. Once that portion dried, I used 1 Hot Mama Creameez for the rest of her outfit the cute boots!

I used Shimmerz in Evergreen for the grass and the rain and puddles were Shimmerz Tickle Me Turquoise. I added a couple of rain drops so that it would be more realistic of Texas rainfall lol. Coffee Shimmerz was the perfect color for my little dog. To finish the card, I did a light wash with Steely Blue Inklings for the sky.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and if its rainy, wear your cute boots!

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.

Thanks for stopping by and remember, if you make a purchase to put my name, Ericka Strange, in the notes for a special freebie.

Photo Frame with Yuko

Hello!Shimmerz friends! Yuko here!

I remade a photo frame the other day to display a photograph 
when I went to the trip.
This photo frame was pink first.

I forgot to take the photograph of the original pink state! 

I painted it in pure white in gesso.

As I was transparent still more, 
I dried it when I painted three times and repeated ... at once.

If gesso dries, I color it.

I used three colors of blue systems of 

shimmerz Tickle Me Turquoise and CREAMEEZ Ride the Tide 

and INKLINHG ME&BLUE this time.

There is also a thin image I CREAMEEZ and INKLINGZ

Do you want to color? I was anxious but

Water fewer is not a problem if you use in darker put a little time.

It gave us clean coloring.

I painted with glitter and Stickles of the blue system from the top.

More large sand was also put additionally.

With the layout made last time and the candle bought at Ishigaki Island.

It's being displayed in my room together.
