A Fantastic Day

I hope you are all doing well and having a fantastic day. Ericka here playing with the Shimmerz Lovely Balloons set with some Inklingz and Creameez.

I love this fun balloon set and all the beautiful creations you can make with it. I started by stamping the image on Bristol Smooth paper with Archival Ink.

I then went about painting it up in some fun cheerful colors. I used Creameez in Lettuce Get Together and Lapis Dance for the main part of the balloon. For the flowers, I used Creameez 1 Hot Mama and Ride the Tide and Emerald City Inklingz for the leaves.

Once my paper was dry, I used a black pen to trace over the lines and add a little shading. I love the banner and the fonts of the sentiments in this set. I used the same Creameez in Lapis Dance and Lettuce Get Together to color in a portion of the font and 1 Hot Mama for the banner.

To finish off the card, I added some clouds to the bottom of the card with some white sequins and a little white gel pen to the balloon.

Color Challenge Floral Wreath Balloon Card | Melinda Beltran

Happy Saturday crafty friends,
My name is Melinda and I am so super excited to  be on the Shimmerz Creative Card Design Team!  I can't wait to share some projects with you. Here is a look at my first one.

Our challenge this month is to use one of their products as the focus. The product I chose was Pip Pip Cherry – O Shimmerz Paint.  For my project, I started by creating the cut files that I used. I then cut all of the pieces out in white cardstock.  I used some of the Pip Pip Cherry – O Shimmerz  paint to paint my flower petals. For the larger flower, I did also use some Bubble Gum – Shimmerz paint.

For the wreath, I layered 3 of the die cuts together to give them a sturdy, chipboard type feel. I then used some of the Puttin On The Glitz – Pasteez to add some glimmer and texture to my die cut. It is hard to capture that sparkly shine, but it is on there and looks so pretty. In this view you can also see that I used the Bed of Roses Stamp Set to stamp both my gray and pink cardstock to create a background.

Next, I turned to my flowers, I used some of the Pip Pip Cherry – O Shimmerz to paint my flowers the beautiful Hot Pink. For the larger flower I did add some Bubble Gum – Shimmerz for a gradient look. I staggered, layered and curled the flower petals to give them some dimension.I added a pear to their centers and a soft bow from some seam binding ribbon.

For the balloon, I used the Lovely Balloons Stamp Set. I stamped it with some light gray ink and then used a fine point paint brush to brush some Pip Pip Cherry – O Shimmerz, Bubble Gum – Shimmerz and some Puttin' On The Glitz – Pasteez. I fussy cut it and then used some foam tape to give it a little lift.

I added a sentiment from the Lovely Balloons Stamp Set by stamping the banner and one of the words with my gray ink. I fussy cut it out and added it to my card. I finished off my card by adding some pearls to my frame.
