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!

Pretty as a Picture, a Yellow Layout with Karine

My dear crafty friends,

I'm up again today on the blog to share another layout. This one is called Pretty as a Picture. Here it is.

When I started my layout, I used crackled paint. When the paint was dry, I sprayed Don't Be Suede Coloringz over it and wiped it off to make the crack show. You can see the subtle result on the picture below. 

I thought that was pretty, but I wanted to add more texture. I used my Gold Mine Texturez and scraped some off here and there with a palet knife. 

I then made some drops with Tuscan Sun Spritz and a paint brush. I used a bit of water in some places to vary the effect.

When that was dry, I took again my Don't Be Suede Coloringz and created little drops here and there, to add contrast.

I did the same with Egg Noggin' Vibez and sprayed a little bit of water. I wanted a soft and subtle effect.

My chipboards are from 2Crafty Chipboard: Maggie's Swirls and Pretty as a Picture title piece.

My inspiration came from the gorgeous Mixed Media and Art challenge going on right now. Here is the board that inspired me. Of course, I was inspired by the color, but also from the peeled and crackled paint and the sketch, that I moved a bit more in the center.

Another vintage photo with Karine

My dear crafty souls,

I hope this post finds you well. I'm here on the blog today to share my most recent layout. Recently, I found some old pictures of my dad and his family. Don't you think he is handsome? :)

Cherish

I went for a soft color combo on this one. I thought it matched the picture well.

On my background, I used The Cream Team Paste-Eez with a grid stencil.

I used Tuscan Sun, Bamboo Leaf and Caribbean Sunset Spritz and Keep Palm Coloringz, making drops with each color and drying before adding another one.

I used chipboards, flowers and die cuts to embellish.

Sweet, a girly layout by Karine

Hi crafty friends,

It's Karine here and I'm on the blog today to share with you my second layout for this month. I went with a girly layout this time. Here it is.

Sweet

As usual, I started my layout by covering my paper with clear gesso. After that, I used Salt of the Earth Paste-Eez through a stencil to add texture to my background. 

To match the colors on the paper I chose, I selected Moody Mauve Coloringz and Tuscan Sun Spritz to create some drops here and there. 

It was pretty, but I wanted to add a bit of softness to the background, so I sprayed some Caribbean Sunset Spritz here and there, to add a bit of soft pink color.

I used the Moody Mauve Coloringz to color some lace that I glued here and there in my clusters. It's so easy with the sprays!

My Sunshine- Scrapbooking Tutorial With Iri

Hi! Irit here with a new fun scrapbook layout to share with you. I used 3 of my favorite Shimmerz goodies to create the background, it was super easy and a lot of fun! Here's my finished page-

To create this striking background all you need are a few shimmerz sprays, watercolor paper (heavy weight cardstock will work as well) and some giant bubble wrap or similar packing material. You can see in the video tutorial the technique, it's really simple!

I used Vibez in Snow Way Man, Pop Art Pink and Spritz in Tuscan Sun. I overlapped them a little to create some interesting mixed shades. You can see it better in the close up shot, where the Snow Way Man mixed with Tuscan Sun to create a beautiful mint color.

I used the tip of the nozzle like a brush to add lines and shapes. Love the look it creates!

Here's the video tutorial-

Follow your Heart, a layout with Karine

Hello crafty friends,

I'm here today to share yet another layout I made a few days ago.

I was inspired by the colors from the paper.

I used Salt of the Earth Paste-Eez through a stencil. I love the texture I got.

As far as color goes, I started with Deep Blue Sea Vibez. When it was dry, I used some Egg Noggin' Vibez. It was pretty, but I thought it needed more contrast, so I added Tuscan Sun Spritz. Finally, to add a little more depth, I used Ride the Tide Creameez. 

My chipboards are from 2Crafty Chipboards.

A Moment to Treasure, a soft layout with Karine

Hi there,

I'm here today to share a layout I made a few days ago with lots of goodies from Shimmerz Paints.

A Moment to Treasure

I started out with this pale paper. I wanted a soft feel to go with this picture of my daughter. To build my background, I used mostly Egg Noggin' Vibez, Tuscan Sun Spritz and a few drops of Bamboo Leaf Spritz. I also added Evergreen Shimmerz diluted with water.

I love the warm yellow of the Tuscan Sun Spritz against the pale green of the Bamboo Leaf Spritz.

To add some texture, I used The Cream Team Paste-Eez through a stencil. I thought it matches the warmth of the Tuscan Sun Spritz.

To paint my chipboard, I used first a coat of white gesso and to add color, I painted some Bamboo Leaf Spritz and touches of Evergreen Shimmerz.

Beginning the New Year with Tranquility!

Hi Shimmerz Fans! It's Gabrielle here with you today to share with you my latest Mixed Media Canvas using some of those, oh so gorgeous Shimmerz paints products!  This month I combined Shimmerz Paints with some of my favorite Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces.  I based my project on the January Mood Board from Dusty Attic.  I found all the perfect colors to match the moodboard in my Shimmerz paints stash!  Here are the Shimmerz Paints products I used for this project....

Shimmerz Paints Products used in this project:

~ Moody Mauve Coloringz

~ Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz

~ Tuscan Sun Spritz

~ Don't Be Suede Coloringz

~ A Shade of Grey Coloringz

~ Spiced Cider Blingz

~ Blue My Mind Inklingz

~ Good as Gold Inkingz

~ Gosh Garnet Inklingz

Yep, I used a lot of Coloringz...I just love the rich intense color you get with these color sprays!  As always, I created a Video Tutorial for you all, so that you can see step by step how I put this project together.  Grab yourself your favorite beverage, kick back, relax and enjoy!....

Here are a few close-ups of today's project that you can view at your leisure...

I love the lovely metalic sheen the Inklingz give to the chipboard pieces!

I like to apply my colors in 2 ways, layering them on and drying between layers....this can give a nice intense coloring to your project.  I also like to apply complimentary colors in different sections of the canvas at the same time and let the colors blend together in some areas, this creates a variety of colors on your canvas.  As you can see above adding the Blue My Mind Inklings to the Good as Gold while still wet, created a lovely hints of green on my chipboard pieces.

I love the intense blue I got with the Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz. To get even more depth of color, I added a spritz of 'A Shade of Grey' Coloringz to each of the corners layering it over the blue....this gave me deep intense color on my canvas.

I hope you all enjoyed my project and video tutorial today!  And hope I've inspired you to give these gorgeous products a go!  You can order your own Shimmerz Paints directly from their website Shimmerz Paints Store, and don't forget!....Just mention my name 'Gabrielle' in the 'Instructions to Merchant/seller' part of your next Shimmerz paint purchase and you will get a FREE/Bonus Shimmerz Paints product in the color of your choice!
