Texturizing with Shimmerz

Texture on my projects is a must, and I find that with very minimal paper, I can create SO MUCH texture with my Shimmerz paints! This week I created a layout for The Color Room, using tons of Shimmerz paints to create the visual layering that I wanted...

Hard to see when the photo is so small... so here are some close-ups...

I stamped cardboard with molding paste, and then after it all dried - I dripped and painted on top of the paste. What an amazing way to distress a page!

I used Spritz in Truffle, Vibez in Jeni B. Bleu, Coloringz in Anchors Away, Pearlz in Emerald Isle, and Shimmerz in Coal. A little dab here, a streak here, a mixing of the hues here - and Voila!

It's amazing what these paints can do!
