Creating a Mixed Media Background with Daisie Scraps

 Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing how I like to create my own pattern paper using Shimmerz Paints.  

Products Used:

• Coloringz Night Moves
• Vibez Grey Flannel
• Spritz Granny Grey
• Shimmeringz Concrete
  
•  Vibez Before Dawn
• Shimmerz Celery
•  Inklingz Green Goddess
  
• Exclusive Cut File from Color Kitz 

First I used the black and gray mists to create my plaid background.  It was super simple to do.  I just dipped a paint brush directly into the bottle and used a ruler to paint on straight lines.  This was a super simple process!  Plaid is the easiest design to create because it's only lines.  

 

Then I embellished my cut files.  I used the wreath cut file from the December Color Kitz and cut it on green cardstock.  I then used Shimmerz Celery and Inklingz Green Goddess to create depth in my wreath.  This really upgraded the cut file pieces and made my wreath really shine.  

 

Next I used the pieces to create a wreath on my page.  I glued all the pieces down alternating the light and dark shades in the branches.  I embellished the wreath with some glitter stars and some red circles to represent ornaments.  I added a title and some ribbon to finish everything off!

 

Check out the process video for a more in depth look at my process!  Let me know if you have any questions about any of the techniques I used.  Don't forget to add my name ( Daisie) to the comments of your next purchase for a fun little freebie to be included with your order!

Hey Shimmerz fans! I hope you all had a great Christmas! I'm working on my December spreads in my Happy Planner and thought it would be fun to try to incorporate my Shimmerz Paints into a spread.

I'm working on December 16-22, 2019 and wanted to keep it very cheery. I used a light strand die from Lawn Fawn and die cut it on watercolor paper. I used a few different Shimmerz Paints, including: Concrete Shimmeringz, Ruby Spritz and Velveteen Green Vibez to color the lights. I cut two strands of lights and streamed them across the spread. To help them jump off the page I used a white pen to add highlights.

I added multiple photos from this week and multiple stickers from the MAMBI Happy Planner Sticker Books to add more color and detail. I'm using my planner as a type of "Project Life". This planner is a great way to document the everyday stories that really tell the story of my life.

Now you can take a look at the process video:

I hope you've found some inspiration on ways you can use Shimmerz Paints to add detail and color to any project. Thanks so much for spending part of your day with me!
