Loveliness Layout | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here, Today I created a fun floral watercolor background for my layout.

 I began with an old Teresa Collins stamp set. I chose a simple flower and continuously stamped the image using Versa Mark Ink. I focused my stamping on two opposite corners of my white 12x12 sheet of paper. I then heat embossed using white embossing powder.

I colored the centers of the flowers using Aqua Huez Pot-O-Gold and used a watercolor brush to color the flowers using a mix of beautiful colors including Creameez in My Clementine, Great Fruit and Trippin in the Tropics. I used the original Shimmerz Paints in Magenta and Jilted Jade for the leaves and Inklingz in Precious Posey and Bahama Mama. No coloring inside the lines here, I just colored over the grouping of flowers.

I love the mix of the shimmery and non shimmery paints. I added a few splatters with some of the colors as I painted. Lastly, I added some shading with Aqua Huez Gray Matter where the mix of colors met the white cardstock.

I am using a photo of my adorable niece. I printed it in black and white. I added a few florals which I cut out on my Silhouette Cameo. I decided to leave them white. I love the simple texture they added. I embellished using lovely die cuts from the Cocoa Vanilla Love Always collection. My tittle is a silver glitter foam word from the Pinkfresh Studio Felicity Collection.

I love how this turned out! 

There is a video on my YouTube channel if you'd like to watch my process.

Last minute Christmas cards with Beck BT

Hey everyone it's Beck BT here again to share some cards I recently made.  Have you been running around busy buying gifts, attending many festivities and possibly like me have a close birthday to celebrate adding to an already super busy time of year?  Well falling behind on making Christmas cards can easily happen - or simply there is someone you later realized you needed to make a card for.  Well today's cards are great examples to share with you for come quick and easy cards that look like you have spent lots of time making!

I made these cards using some yummy Shimmerz products that quickly transformed my plain background to a beautiful watercolour one.

Shimmerz Products Used:

Shimmerz Aqua Huez - Pot-O-Gold

Shimmerz Aqua Huez - Red Hot

Shimmerz Aqua Huez - Leapin' Lizard

Shimmerz Inklingz - Honey Do List

For my first card I used the Pot-O-Gold, Honey Do List and Red Hot Aqua Huez for a fun background.  

I added the first two colours with a plastic transfer method.  This is where you add some colour to a little plastic and then stamp down onto the background multiple times after adding the colour.  I dried with my heat gun between layers.

I finished off by adding some splatter with my paint brush of the 'Red Hot' Aqua Huez.

Then using some printed die cuts and jewel embellishments the card quickly came together

For the next card I used the same plastic transfer technique to add color to the background using this time only the 'Red Hot' and 'Leapin' Lizard' colours

Again it came together easily with the help of some printed die cuts, jewel embellishments and silver cord.

Don't forget to mention my name when you order for some free product!  WOOT!  

Till next time
