A magazine cover plus video tutorial with Amy Prior

Hi Shimmerz fans! Amy Prior back with you all today, this time sharing my first ever Magazine Cover Publication which is so very exciting.

 Of course I have used a plethora of gorgeous Shimmerz paint products on this layout including Pucker Up Pink Dazzlerz, Meet Me @ Sunset Inklingz, Ride the Tide & Berry Hot Creameez, as well as some Shimmerz Coloringz in No Yoking and Say Can You Sea colours. 

My chipboard is from Blue Fern Studios and has simple been painted using some Shimmerz Meet Me @ Sunset Inklingz. 

Lots of gorgeous papers from Websters Pages were used for this layout alongside some of my favourite Prma, Petaloo and Scrappers Garden flowers. My daughter Chloe was very chuffed to see her face on the cover also.

I also have another scrapbook page to share with you all that I have recently created for Scraps of Darkness using lots of Shimmerz paint products. 

For this layout I have used Sugar Plum, Royal Purple & Evergreen Shimmerz alongside some Gold Mine Texturez for more dimension.

Beautiful Shimmery Goodness with Amy Prior

Hi everyone! Amy Prior back again with you all today to share a recent scrapbooking layout featuring tonnes of gorgeous Shimmerz products. I seriously cannot get enough Shimmerz Inklingz at the moment eeekk they are so divine and so lush to play with. Don't forget to checkout the new colors that have just been released in the Shimmerz shop here.

For this layout I have used Shimmerz Inklingz in Sun Kissed, Beets Me, Blue My Mind & French Twist on my background white cardstock. This gorgeous effect is easily achieved by wetting your cardstock with water and layering splodges of the inklingz down 1 color at a time, starting with the lightest color first.

When creating the background, to avoid muddying up the colors, I have dried each color before adding a new color. This ensures that there is minimal color mixing. I have then added random gold grid sticker pieces over the shimmery background to add some more texture to it.

The Blue Fern Studio Chipboard title has then been covered with a nice thick and chunky coat of Brick Wall Shimmerz Texturez Paint and followed with a spray of  Shimmerz Plum Pudding Spritz spray to get a multi toned color on the title.  

The gorgeous papers that I have used for this layout are from Authentique, definately a new favorite collection of mine, and they have worked beautifully alongside some Scrappers Garden, Prima & Petaloo flowers.

Don't forget that you can earn a free gift with your order from the Shimmerz store. Just mention my name in the Notes to Seller section when checking out through Paypal. Here is a great little tutorial on how you can claim your freebie!

Until next time, happy scrapping!

A mix of Enamelz, Vibez and Pearlz!

Hi there, Lydell here again!
I have a page to share here and some fun stuff I did with Shimmerz Paints and Enamelz.  They go hand in hand for some outstanding effects.
Here is what I used for todays project....

Shimmerz in 

Pearlz -Grey Flannel

Vibez- Egg Noggin (a limited edition colour which I believe may still be available if you hurry!!!)

Enamelz - Gold Digger and Molten Metal

.......And here is my page.

You cant see it very well, but I know its there......I applied texture paste to the background with a palette knife, let it dry and added white paint and buttercup cream acrylic paint to set it all off.  I sprinkled Molten Metal Enamelz over this wet paint in splotches and heated to melt, creating puddles of the metal look,  (You can see it slightly under the middle yellow flower and just above it......)

I painted the tag in the Grey Flannel Pearlz and sprinkled the edges with the gold digger while the paint was wet, creating a pretty and textured border around the tag.  Much prettier than how it started off!

I sprayed each crocheted flower with the Vibez Egg Noggin.  These were flowers sent to us some time ago from Petaloo, they were brilliant white!

I also sprayed the Prima felt label you can see here under the photo, and various other flowers....and some lace too!!!!

I sprayed some other Petaloo flowers and dipped them in the Gold Digger Enamelz, totally covering the flower.  I added metal button centres to these, and they are really pretty!

So thats what I played with today.

AND I have a quick tip to share.  I have many many Shimmerz Paints like the Pearlz 'Grey Flannel' in the tubs.  These can sometimes be left sitting for quite some time before you get a chance to use each colour regularly and can tend to separate and dry up a bit.  My Grey Flannel had not been opened in a very long time, and had gone quite thick (it would no longer shake up in the tub......I know Shimmerz says to add distilled water, which is probably best for your paints, but I just add some water from the tap and just stir it through well to rejuvenate them back to how they are meant to be.  I dont find it alters the intensity of the colour or the Shimmery properties.  Because they are water based and wash out so well in water, adding water (preferrably distilled) brings them right back to life.  Remember add a little at a time though.....too much may effect the saturation of the colour.....better to add not enough than too much!!!!!

Hope you are enthused about all the possibilities Shimmerz Paints offers, Especially to extend the use of your stash and create Projects which meld colours beautifully- all acheived by recolouring embellishments.  Get stuck into your Shimmerz!

Thanks for stopping by.....have a wonderful day!

Happy {Inter}National Scrapbooking Day!

Here's hoping you are getting some creative time to yourself this weekend! :)

I wanted to share with you one more page I created using Shimmerz Paints and Petaloo Color Me Crazy flowers.



Papers and die cuts are from the Quite Contrary "Little Miss Muffet" collection by My Mind's Eye.

In nature, flowers are more than one color blending together from the flower center towards the edges. This is the look I wanted to create on these paper flowers. I began by using Key Lime Shimmerz paint in my flower center. This is one of my very favorite Shimmerz colors. I pull it out A LOT to add definition to my premade flowers.



Next, I painted the centers of the flower petals using Burgundy Shimmerz paint. I used my finger to dab and blend the paint into the Key Lime center to make it look more natural.



Finally, the edges of my flowers are defined with Hottie Pink Blingz. I love the way they turned out! Infact, I loved them so much, I didn't want to cover them up with a flower center so I opted to use clear buttons.

Thanks for stopping by today!
