Happy 3/Rhonda Reno

 Hello Shimmerz friends! So glad you're here this morning--I have a new layout so share for the Shimmerz creative team. 

Who doesn't love a bright happy rainbow of colors, am I right?

As is the case with the majority of my layouts I began with a sheet of thick smooth white cardstock covered with clear gesso.
I went in rainbow order adding all the pretty Shimmerz colors to create the rainbow on my background.

*Vibez-Chip Mauve The Ol' Block

*Vibez-Elfin Magic 

*Coloringz-Freshly Squeezed

*Coloringz-Lil Yellow Skool Bus

*Color Splash-Swoon in The Lagoon 

*Creameez-Witches Blue 

*Shimmerz-Sugar Plum

For the blue in my rainbow I mixed the Witches Blue with the Swoon In The Lagoon and it was the perfect blue.

Mixing and blending the colors is one of my favorite things and I love how my rainbow turned out. 

Once I had my rainbow finished I decided to add some texture using an Echo Park stencil and some Lunar Paste.

 

I knew I wanted to make a shaker for this layout because I had these awesome 'm&m'  sprinkles from Glitter Makes It for just that reason. I really love shakers but rarely make them. I think this one turned out cute and absolutely perfect for this layout. 

I really enjoyed the creative process on this layout. I even used a couple of stickers that are at least 10 years old and that is always a bonus!

I used a die for the stars and then outlined them with an acrylic paint pen in white. I think it really helped them stand out.

I'll leave a link here directly to the Shimmerz store just in case you're interested in purchasing any of the paints I used on this layout. You can leave the name of your favorite Shimmerz designer in the comment section of your order for a little freebie included with your order.
