Fun | Sarah Millerhouse | Shimmerz Paints May 2023 Color Kitz

I absolutely love the May Color Kitz and the beautiful combination of colors! I also had fun combining the colors with the May Paper Color Kitz. The patterned papers and embellishments are super bohemian and whimsical, and I loved using them to create this layout. 

I started with texture paste and a stencil from Peartree Cutfiles. It is a large format stencil in 12x12, so I was able to add the texture paste to the entire page at the same time. I sat it off to dry overnight before adding wet mediums to the background. 

Once it was good and dry, I added the beautiful colors from the Color Kitz. I started with the Vibez - Chip Mauve The Ol’ Block. I kept the color in the center of the layout in an oblong shape. While that was still wet, I added on the Vibez - Pink Lemonade around the rim of the previous color. I then added the Shimmerz - Golden Wheat the the outermost edge of color. 

Once that was dry, I added the patterned paper and fussy cut elements across the center of the page. I love the patterned paper full of tags, and I used five of those. I added holes and thread to each one. I used craft foam to pop them up on varied layers. I layered on a few more pieces of patterned paper and my sweet photos. 

For the embellishments, I started with the white flowers I fussy cut out, and I added color to them using the mediums in the Color Kitz. Once those were dry, I added them to the layout as the foundation for the clusters, starting at the top left of the photos and working my way down to the bottom right of the photos. I threw in more elements from the Color Kitz and a few flowers from my stash. 

I adorned the flowers with the enamel dots from the Felicity Jane set found in the Paper Kitz collection. I then added shiny bits and objects from my stash to the clusters. I also added splatters of the Blingz - Pixie Dust from the Color Kitz that I absolutely ADORE!! This medium is jam packed with sparkle and shine, and it sits so beautifully on top of the paper I added it to. This is one of my favorite details on the layout!
