Born To Explore | Boy Layout using Run! Forest, Pumpkin, Bumbly Bee | With Process Video

Hello Shimmerz friends!

Hope you are doing well and bright! Sharing this gorgeously starry layout with you today using oranges, yellows and greens. Link to process video can be found at the end of the post:

Started out with a white piece of cardstock that I've trimmed down to 11.5 by 11.5 in order to fit a border behind it later. Played a bit with the placement of patterned paper and pictures before getting out my colors:

- Can't Elope - Inklingz

- Bumbly Bee - Shimmerz
- Olive U Truly - Inklingz

- Run! Forest - Shimmerz

- Pining For You - Creameez

- Pumpkin - Pumpkin

- Orange Sherbet - Shimmerz

- Marigold - Shimmerz

I added the mixed media by colors; I began with the oranges (Can't Elope, Pumkin, Orange Sherbet) and let them dry a bit. Then added in the yellows (Bumbly Bee, Marigold) and finally worked with the greens. Each color group was worked with the packaging technique and splatters.

Once all the colors were dry, I glued my patterned paper (Amy Tangerine | Slice of Life | Rainbow Hall) and placed my pictures on craft foam for dimension. Added two small clusters of embellishments near my pictures. Had some leftover stars from a cutfile I had previously used (Circle Of Stars by Virginia Walker | COAPA Cutfiles); sprayed some of them with Tuscan Sun (Spritz) and others with Goldie Lox (Shimmeringz) and formed a sort of star burst effect on the layout with them. Each white star was added in on craft foam; I was punched out a few vellum stars and glued them unto the cardstock. Finished off the layout by added some Nuvo Drops, placed my title, wrote my journaling and then mounted the white cardstock unto a patterned paper (Amy Tangerine | Hustle and Heart). Below are a few more close-ups.

I love how this layout turned out! It's so colorful and star-filled, perfect for documenting boy memories. Hope to have inspired you and I'll see you back soon! Link to process video: https://youtu.be/wWoPn2s1mb8 

Remember, if you write my name in the comments section of your next Shimmerz order, you'll receive some free paint.

Stay crafty!

Marble watercolor effects with Inklingz and Creameez with Beck Beattie

Hi Everyone, it's Beck BT here with you today to share a sweet fun scrapbook page I created of me and my beautiful family that I love so much.  I had lots of fun creating a bit of a marbled watercolor effect onto the pattern papers tying all the colours in beautifully.

Shimmerz Products Used:

Shimmerz Inklingz - Blue Lagoon and Can't Elope

Shimmerz Creameez - In A Jam, Strawberry Fields and Power to the Purple

These colours came together so nicely to match in with the beautiful 'Wildflower' collection by Kaisercraft

Here are some more pictures of my fun project so you can get up close with all that shimmery goodness!!

I Hope you enjoyed my share today.

Happy Crafting!

Truly Grateful with Yoonsun

Hello crafty friends, Yoonsun is here! Today I have an autumn-themed card to share with you using some Inklingz shimmering watercolors. For today's card, I tried to stamp solid autumn leaf images instead of colouring. 

To create the card:
1. Die cut a piece of watercolour paper using the A2 sized rectangle panel die.
2. Colour directly on the solid autumn leaf images from the Penny Black Nature's Gifts set using some Inklingz shimmering watercolors: Honey Do List, Olive U Truly, Mochachino, Can't Elope, She Packs a Punch, Naughty or Nice, and Dear John Letter.
3. Stamp the image on the watercolor paper panel. Allow this to dry completely.
4. Stamp the sentiment from the MFT Geometric Greenery set on the bottom half of the panel in black ink.
5. Mount the panel on A2 top folded white card base using double-sided tape.
6. Embellish with a few clear droplets.



Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!!

Hugs,
Yoonsun

Water colouring with Shimmerz Auqa Hues

I am SO excited to be sharing with you my card today that I got to play with the new Aqua Hues!  OH MY GOODNESS are these divine!  I think what I adore most is that you can 'Choose your hues' yes you can purchase them in a pack which comes with a complimentary water brush and you get to choose the colours that go in there!

I am excitingly waiting more of my Aqua Hues to arrive as we split my package, but I did get to play with one of the colours to make this card.  I teamed it up with some Inklingz and also the new Color stakz.  

Shimmerz Products used:

Aqua Huez Blue Moon

Inklingz Blue Lagoon

Inklingz Miner Miner 49er

Inklingz Can't Elope

Inklingz A Rose by any other name

Color Stakz Pick Pocket Stakz

I deliberately wanted to leave some white spots to give a fun hand water coloured look.   I created an ombre effect with the background to the center panel using the Blue Moon Aqua Huez.  I first masked the words with some masking fluid, painted the background and then removed the masking ready to be coloured with the Miner Miner 49er Inklingz

 I set about coloring the flowers and other elements in the paper stakz piece

Finished off with a die cut base, some bling and twine makes this card really pop in the end

 Thanks so much for heading over to the blog today to check out my project!  I hope I've inspired you and shown you how lovely a little Shimmerz Paints can easily create amazing cards!

Till next time
