Cool Kid | Color-Blocking Layout Using the April Color Kitz w/ process video

Hello everyone!

Lorimar here sharing a new layout for Shimmerz Paints! I mainly used the colors from the April Color Kitz  (Sold Out) and also added some other colors from my stash to create this color-blocking, tone-on-tone layout.

Let's get started:

Using a sheet of white textured cardstock, I made three distinct color swatches using Don't Citron Me, Heidi Ho Blue, and Chick-A-Dee. I then layered some more colors unto the swatches with Someone Like Blue, Limoncello, and Key Lime. Added some splatters with the same colors. Set Aside to dry. 

While it dried, I went into my stash and selected embellishments in greens, blue, and yellows. Afterwards, I added some modeling paste using the rain drop stencil from the April Color Kit. Once it was dried, I began to layer in the embellishments in their corresponding colors. Finished off the layout with some sequins from SpiegelMom Scraps and some splatters of Hi Ho Silver. Close- Ups are down below!

Thanks for looking!

Beautiful Kitty | Kelly Janes

Hey Shimmerz Paints fans! My name is Kelly Janes and I am so excited to share my first design team layout as part of the YouTube Education Team!

I started with a butterfly cut file from The Cut Shoppe and painted the butterflies with multiple Shimmerz Paints. My color choices were based off the Pinkfresh Studio Just a Little Lovely Collection, so I painted the butterflies in shades of blues, pinks and purples.

• Blue Butterflies: Heidi Ho Blue Coloringz, Frost Bite Vibez, Cold as Ice Vibez, Lapis Dance Creameez, Anchors Away Shimmerz Paint, Pool Me Close Shimmerz Paint & Blue Moon Aqua Huez (retired), Oh Say Can U Sea Coloringz.
• Pink Butterflies: Cotton Candy Spritz, Sweet Heart Vibez, Great Fruit Creameez. (I also mixed in a bit of orange with the pink butterflies: Mandarin Mai Tai Coloringz and Sunset Strip Vibez.)
• Purple Butterflies: Rip Van Periwinkle Vibez and Princess Vibez.
• Gold Splatters: Miner Miner 49er Inklingz

You definitely wouldn't need as many blues as I used to achieve this look. I had just received an order with new paints and was anxious to try them out! HA! 

I color grouped the butterflies together after they were painted, added a layer of vellum here and there, and then stitched them together down the center. I love the added dimension this give the layout!

I arranged the butterflies on my background, but I added a splash of color to the background using Cold As Ice Vibez, Cotton Candy Spritz and Princess Vibez before I adhered anything down. I then moved onto embellishing. I color blocked the embellishments; which is a really great way to embellish quickly. I added my title using a die cut, and white puffy alphas. I also added subtitles with my kittens names using a smaller puffy alpha set.

I created a process video that you can watch by clicking HERE.

Thanks so much for joining me today and I will be back again next month with a new layout and process video! Don't forget to mention my name in the comments at check-out at the Shimmerz Store to get a free gift!
