"Get Your Paint On" with Sandi Clarkson

Hey hey, scrappy friends! 

It's Sandi here with you today sharing my latest Shimmerz Paints project. 

I wanted to have a little fun with some of the newest Shimmerz Paints colors, so I decided to create this little art palette piece and try for an ombre effect using the grays. 

The actual Art Palette is a chipboard piece from Creative Embellishments and it's about 7 inches high.  I prepped it with some crackle paste and let that air dry (waiting is the hardest part!) for about 24 hours. Next I adhered some old paintbrushes and decided on my other embellishments.

To achieve the ombre look, I've used Coloringz Night Moves, Vibez GreyFlannel and lastly Spritz Granny Gray. These were simply sprayed on one after the other.




Before the colors were completely dry, I splattered on Shimmerz Teal the End of Time and Vibez Snow Storm. And then because I couldn't stand NOT to, I splattered on some of the new Shimmerz Pip Pip Cherry O. I thought it would be a nice pop of color and it's perfect!




When that was done, I colorized my chipboard title (also Creative Embellishments) with the Coloringz Night Moves. After adhering that, I moved on to adding my other embellies.




I finished everything off with some white gesso splattering and highlighting.  Lastly, I added a few of the new sequins we are carrying by SpeigelMom ... Spigelmom Scraps Sequins Picking Wild Flowers


 

I'm loving all the dimension and mostly, these new gray colors!
I'm thinking lots of great modern farmhouse projects!

OH so cute Owl

Hey Everyone, Beck Beattie here today with a sweet off the page project share.  

A little while ago I picked up this cute wooden Owl at my local Kaisercraft outlet.  I have been dying to use it and I knew some Bella! papers teamed up with my Shimmerz products would look perfect for what I had in mind.

Products Used:

Shimmerz Vibes Spray - Hot Fudge

Shimmerz Spritz Spray - Cotton Candy

Shimmerz Texturez - Sandy Stone

Bella! New York Paperz - Chevron

Bella! Raw & Rustic Paperz - Valentine

Bella! Raw & Rustic Paperz - Bunting

Ruby Rock-it 'Bolt' floral

Bella! Bling - Hearts

Bella! Bling - Small Borderline

Kaisercraft Wooden Owl

Assorted metal flowers and embellishments

Assorted lace trim

I created a video for you to watch it come together, it was sure fun creating it!  If you want to head over to my blog you can check the video out HERE

I love how my Shimmerz products really helped me match in the various products I wanted to use to create my sweet owl.

The base for my project is a sweet Kaisercraft Owl that I recently picked up at my local outlet store.  After choosing my pattern papers to use, I stitched them together with a wide but close together zig-zag stitch and adhere them to the owl.  I used a sanding block to remove the excess paper from the wood.  This is best shown in my video.

To create the eyes I sprayed the yellow 'Bolt' flowers with the Shimmerz 'Hot Fudge' spray and layered with metal flowers and embellishments using silicone adhesive.  I also used Silicone adhesive to adhere them to the wooden owl

Next I colored up the lace trim using the Shimmerz Vibes and Spritz sprays along with the Texturez paste for this divine glimmery color.

Additionally I colored up the chipboard pieces using the same Vibes spray in Hot Fudge for the lovely dark brown color it became.

My Shimmerz products really helped me match in the decorative flowers, trim and chipboard I used to embellish the owl.

I hope you enjoyed my share today and I might have inspired to you go a little 'off the page' and create something fun and a little different!

Happy Crafting!
