Fun Ombre Effects with Beck BT

Hey there it's Beck BT here today to share with you a fun couple of cards I made using the yummy Shimmerz Creameez for a sweet ombre effect. It is so easy to achieve numerous colours of the same tone and I just love how fun and easy this card was to make so I thought I would share with you a little tutorial to go with it!

Here is my steps process for you:

Create an ombre effect with Shimmerz Boogie Boardin' Blue Creameez adding the colour in layers watering it down for each layer and drying between layers.

Next I added some stamping with the Fun Stampers Journey 'Postage Stamps' stamp with matching ink colour to my background. I used Fun Stampers Journey Blue Lagoon true color fusion Ink pad
Next I stamped using the Lawn Fawn's Sentiments stamp 'Thank you' in black. This is quite a fine script.
I layered my white cardstock onto a Black cardstock slightly larger and then added to a white card base
I finished off the card with some light colored twine and black enamel dots.

I wanted to use the dark enamel dots to bring in the black colour base

For my cards today I used the follwoing Shimmerz products:

Shimmerz Creameez - Boogie Boardin' Blue

Thanks so much for heading over to the blog today to check out my project! I hope I've inspired you and shown you how lovely a little Shimmerz Paints can easily create amazing cards!

Till next time

Dazzling Fun with Beck BT

Hey there it's Beck BT here today to share with you a fun couple of cards I made using the yummy Shimmerz Dazzlers pastes. I just love how fun and easy these cards were to make so I thought I would share with you a little tutorial to go with it!

For the first card you need to lay your desired stencil over your white cardstock. I used Fun Stampers Journey stencil for my background stencilling. Then using each of the three Dazzlers pastes, spread them as shown below. Carefully lift and you are left with the most gorgeous creamy shimmery background.

I simply added my sentiment which is from the RG Make Amazing Collection stamped with StazOn onto some clear acetate and then cut out. Adhere to the paste gently while still wet to save on having to glue it. Finish off with some matching enamel does and adhered to a card base with one of the papers from the Make Amazing collection of ombre black and grey a perfect contrast to the colourful cardfront.

Working fairly quickly I took my stencil that still had some paste on it and flipped it over to add the pattern to another piece of white cardstock. Using a breyer I applied some pressure then gently lifted the stencil

Finished off with the same stamped sentiment and enamel dots. Again added to a card base with one of the papers from the Make Amazing collection of ombre black and grey.
