Hello! I am excited to share my layout featuring the April 2023 Color Kitz and the Paper Color Kitz, combined with the Blooming Wild Collection! The colors in the April Kitz are so beautiful, and they worked perfectly for sunshine and water!
I have a link to the full process video at the end of this post!
I started this layout by creating the water at the bottom. I used texture paste and a Peartree Cutfiles stencil to add the textured dots. Once that dried, I sprayed on the Vibez - Deep Blue Sea. It is rich and vibrant, and it's my absolute favorite blue created by Shimmerz Paints! I then layered on the Inklingz - Me & Blue. It is shiny and shimmery, and it added the sparkle I was looking for. I also added the Inklingz - Ice Sage to the water, and these two Inklingz helped me achieve the shine I wanted to capture, mimicking sunlight on the water.
Once the blue section was dry, I added on another stencil from Peartree Cutfiles to create the sun rays. I put down a little Distress Oxide with a blending brush, and then I sprayed the Vibez - Here Comes the Sun on top of that. This gave me that bold golden yellow! While it was still wet, I splattered on Shimmerz - Limoncello from my stash. This added those lighter yellow sparkles peeking out of the sun rays.
Across the center, I tore strips of paper from the April Paper Color Kitz and the Blooming Wild collection in blues and yellows. This gave me the central foundation for my photo placement.
I added my sweet photo from our Jamaica trip and layered it up with patterned paper, chipboard frames, tags, and tabbed cards to create a focal point. I also added the title and embellishments, all from the Blooming Wild collection.
At the top of the layout, I added handstitching in between the rays of sunshine and a few more shiny embellishments from Buttons Galore. I loved creating this layout using all of the beautiful Shimmerz Paints goodness!
