Hello scrappy friends! It's Shannon up on the blog today bringing a mixed media layout your way using gorgeous Shimmerz Paints. I love this combination of colors!
Products Used:
Vibez in Don't Rain on My Parade
I started this layout taking the Shimmerz Paints inspiration directly from the photo. My son is wearing a mid-tone gray suit with a deep burgundy check pattern. Let me tell you how fun it was to shop through my swatch cards to find the perfect tones! I made sure to use a piece of sturdy Marshmallow cardstock by Bazzill with a nice coat of clear gesso in place. Next, I wet my cardstock and liberally sprayed with the lighter tones and worked my way towards the deeper gray tones. This worked beautifully as I gradually deepened my palette. We all know that it's easier to add than to take away!
Next, I set my layout aside for a bit to dry and started hunting through the Heidi Swapp Carefree collection. I love the soft gray border that I chose and then incorporated a mix of green, blue and gray embellishments. I love that the photo stands out so beautifully!
I wanted to make sure that the embellishements were incorporated nicely so I added some splatty bits in Vibez Palm Reader as well as Vibez Don't Rain on My Parade. I finished off this layout with three adorable Dots to add a bit of shine and dimension!
