Wow! SO much squeezed into our fabulous Color Kitz! 

Here's what I created with these amazing products....

"Love You So!"

Oh my heart, indeed! Just look at those pretty pinks and reds! 
This would have to be one of the most beautiful color combinations of all time - SO good! 
& absolutely perfect for documenting my sweet girl with!
Here's a closer look.....

Hearts for the win!!!
I created this layout by spritzing & painting every color in the kit onto a small piece of watercolor paper. Once dry, I simply ran these papers through my die cutting machine with the Elle's Studio: Love You Lots metal die. I mixed and matched a few of the inset pieces, and layered smaller hearts over larger ones to create interest. 
I just LOVE how striking and effective this looks! 


Before adhering all.the.hearts to my white cardstock base, I decided to add a soft and subtle mixed media base. I took the new Pink Outside The Box Spritz and applied it across the center of the page using the packaging technique. I added lots of splatters and drips with My Bleeding Heart Coloringz & Blushing Bride Vibez too! So soft and pretty!


Next, I added my photograph, and glued down all the die-cut, painted paper hearts. I embellished with the chipboard heart pieces, as well as all 3 of the exclusive You Are Loved Dotz. I also hand stitched a few hearts using the golden floss (embroidery thread)! 
With so much pretty red and pink, I decided to use black and white embellishments from Elle's Studio January release to cut through the color and create balance. So striking!  


For finishing touches, I added both black and red ink stamped sentiments from the Elle's Studio: Love You Lots Stamp and a mix of both Red Rapture & Freezin' For A Reason sequins from Spiegelmom Scraps. Perfect! 



Simple, but really beautiful creating with the February Collection Color Kitz!

Happy Heart | Amanda Baldwin


Hi Shimmerz Friends! 

Welcome back for more shimmering paint delights!
Amanda here, & boy oh boy have I got some sweet Heart Day inspiration for you!
Valentine's Day is one of my all time favorite Holidays,
& I just LOVE creating all the heart things!
But enough chatter, here's my layout......

"Happy Heart"


Oh.my.heart!!!
This is so super sweet and completely melts me!
You'll spy the following Shimmerz Paints products:

Spritz Ruby
Spritz Cotton Candy
Vibez Pop Art Pink
Paste-eez Peach Fuzz
Paste-eez Salt of The Earth

What a wonderful color combination!
Here's a closer look for you.....


Gor-jus!!!
As well as our super shimmery, and divine paints I've also used the Cocoa Vanilla Studio: More Than Words collection & the Hello Hearts cut file from The Cut Shoppe.

I start this layout by spraying Spritz Ruby to the top of the Hello Hearts cut file.
This very pretty red is so vibrant!



Next, I apply Vibez Pop Art Pink to the center of the cut file, and at the base of the cut file I spray Spritz Cotton Candy. I also add a couple more light sprays of the Ruby to add a lil tonal interest too!
Just look at the golden shimmer from the Pop Art Pink - Stunning!!!



These colors have my heart!

Before I attach the Shimmery cut file to the pattern paper base, I prep the paper with a light coat of Jo Sonja's White Gesso. I then apply Pop Art Pink with a very watery paint brush, creating a soft base of color. I then add splatters and droplets in Spritz Ruby & Cotton Candy, as well as the Vibez Pop Art Pink. I then apply those beautiful textured hearts with a Vicki Boutin Stencil & Paste-eez Peach Fuzz. So pretty!



The pink textured hearts are made from combining Paste-eez Salt of the Earth with Spritz Ruby - another gorgeous color combination!


For finishing touches, I add more Ruby droplets and a lil paint around my photo to complete my Happy Heart themed layout. 
Here's one last close up for you....


Absolutely beautiful!
