Painted Sunflowers|Sara Scraps

 Hello Everone! Sara with you today! When I sat down to create my project for today, I decided I wanted to paint..and I wanted to paint a flower. A shimmery, pretty sunflower. The best way to make my sunflower be the star of the show would be to put it on a card. 

 I started by grabbing some metal dies..painting freehand is not my best ability. Sooo..I decided to die cut my sunflower and leaves using some hot press watercolor paper. this allowed my to add layers of paint to my flower without it warping or becoming too wet and tearing.

Once I had all my pieces die cut it was time to paint! I chose 2 or 3 colors in different shades for each of my flower elements. By choosing different shades of each color I could add highlights and shadows to my flower to create depth to my painting.

For the center of my flower, I chose Burnished Buckle Inklingz and Coffee Shimmerz. 

For the leaves I chose Celery Shimmerz, Honey Do List Inklingz, and Greener Pastures Inklings. I applied the same technique I would use to color an image with alcohol markers to the painting. started with a base coat of the lighter colors and then adding some shadows with the next two colors, working light to dark.

For the sunflower petals, I chose Limoncello Shimmerz, Miner,Miner 49er Inklingz, and Old Yeller Inklingz. 

 

And here is my card! I used some cream cardstock for the base and some brown ink to bring out the edges. I added a dark burgundy stacked die cut sentiment and a smattering of sequins to highlight my sunflower.

I love how mixing the colors added so much interest and depth to my flower. It certainly does not look flat! 

And just look at all that pretty shimmer! 

As summer transitions into fall, sunflowers are the perfect late summer flower. Do you like sunflowers in your crafting? If so, be sure to grab some of this paints for perfect sunflowers! 

Have A Lovely Day!

Halloween with Shimmerz

Hiya All!! Happy Halloween!! Hopefully this day is a long one because I am not ready for November 1st!! I needed to squeeze in one more Halloween card before my cute stamps are put away for good.


My image is stamped with Brilliance Graphite Black and then colored with my copics. I knew that I couldn't have a Halloween image without the sparkle so I painted the cauldron with Coal Shimmerz, the buckle on the witches hat and the pumpkin eyes with Sunflower Shimmerz, and the stems with Key Lime Shimmerz. Doesn't the Shimmerz make the image look amazing!!

So what are your costume ideas for Halloween? My kids are all very different this year, we have Wonder Woman, Bumblebee Transformer, and Minnie Mouse. I am looking forward to having a whole day to do lots of fun activities with them, they should make Halloween Saturday every year.

Hope you all have a FANTASTIC night!

Shimmerz Spritz - Bubble Wrap Tutorial

As promised on the video, here's what the finished project looks like. The shimmery stamped background lends interest and dimension to an otherwise plain piece of cardstock.

here's a close up of the bubble wrap impression--although shimmerz dries really quickly, you'll want to use a heat gun to dry the spritz after stamping the bubble wrap so you'll keep the nice uniform circles (well unless you're trying to achieve a different effect).

I also added some shimmerz paints to my project. Sunflower shimmerz makes this sun a little brighter!

I used mossy stone and sunflower shimmerz on the tree tops for a wonderful iridescent sheen.

Thanks so much for taking the time to view the video! I hope you use this idea as a springboard for you own! Have a great day!
