Shimmerz Transformation | Ericka Strange

Happy Saturday Shimmerz Fanz! I hope you are getting some crafting time in this weekend! Ericka here with an Autumn butterfly card using a fun variety of Shimmerz and Vibez.

Since it is technically fall (we're still waiting here in Houston Texas lol), I decided to try some more Autumn colors that I normally don't use.

I started by stamping this Transformation set from The Ton on watercolor paper and gold embossing it. Then I used the folloring products to paint my butterfly and flowers (click on the name for more details): 

• Shimmerz - Ultra Marine, Bumbly Bee, Marigold, Orange Sherbert, Coffee, and Evergreen
• Inklingz - Steely Blue Eyes
• Vibez -  Before Dawn

I watered down the Before Dawn Vibez spray to give the butterfly a shadow after painting the background with Steely Blue Eyes.

I love how well the Marigold and Orange Sherbet blend together. Here is a better picture showing off the gorgeous shine of these products.

Mermaid Shimmerz | Ericka Strange

Hello Shimmerz Fanz! I hope your week is going well. Ericka here with a mermaid card I made using a variety of Shimmerz products. I love how easy it is to mix and match these products to create beautiful shine and colors in any project.

I started by creating the background for the mermaid. I wanted to see if I could get watery look with my Vibez and Shimmerz. I took Bristol Smooth paper and lightly sprayed water on one side and then using the end of the spray, took the Jeni B Bleu and Hermit the Frog and added color so that it would drip down the page. Once that layer dried, I used Shimmerz in Tickle Me Turquoise and Evergreen and added some more water and color to my brush to layer the shimmery color. While my background was drying, I stamped the mermaid and her little friends and heat embossed them with WOW Aventurine powder. This powder is a beautiful turquoise color with gold glitter which complements the Shimmerz perfectly.

I used the same Shimmerz in Tickle Me Turquoise and Evergreen and also added Bumbly Bee and 1 Hot Mama Creameez. I love how the Creameez blended with the Turquoise to give her purple highlights. Once everything was dry, I cut out my images and added them to my shimmery background.

Thanks for stopping by and feel free to check out my blog for more information on how I made my card. Don't forget to check out the new and beautiful August Kitz!

Shimmerz Unicorn | Ericka Strange

Hello Shimmerz fans and happy Tuesday! Ericka here today and I hope you made it through Monday and your week is going well.  Today I have a cute unicorn card I made using a variety of Shimmerz Paint products to make sure that my unicorn contained the most spark possible. After all unicorns and Shimmerz are know for their sparkle. 

I started by stamping the Unicorn from Picket Fence in Fadeout Ink so that I could do some no-line watercoloring with Shimmerz, Creameez, and Inklingz. These little pots are perfect for watercoloring and pack a lot of color and shine.

For my background, I tried a little something different. I used a stencil with the Spun Sugar Dazzlerz which is a shiny paste. Then, before removing the stencil I sprayed the stencil with Chick-a-dee Spritz and Jeni B Bleu Vibez. I then sprayed a little Goldie Lox Shimmeringz all over the stencil to help the colors blend.

Once my background was dry, I used foam tape to adhere the unicorn and sentiment to the card base.

I love all the beautiful shine this card has and how well all of the Shimmerz Paints products work together to create a unique card for a special friend.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get a chance to create something beautiful. Don't forget to check out the new and beautiful August Kitz!

Simply Enjoy it All | Ericka Strange

Hello Shimmerz fans! I hope you had a wonderful week. Ericka here today with a Shimmerz Stampz called Simply Enjoy. These tulips are so pretty and I loved using the Shimmerz and Vibez sprays to watercolor them.

I love combining colors and the Sweet Heart Vibez spray with the Shimmerz Christmas Cheer to give the flowers a two tone look.

I stamped the image on water color paper using InkOn3 Fade Out ink to do some no-line watercoloring. I then sprayed Sweet Heart Vibez onto a pallet and laid down a first layer of color. Once the layer was dry, I added some more color to the shadow areas as well as some Christmas Cheer Shimmerz for a hint of yellow. I love blue leaves so used Ultra Marine Shimmerz and Sapphire Spritz.

It is always hard to capture the beauty of the shine but in this close up photo you can see some of it.  I finished the card with some pink and blue splatters from my pallet and added the sentiment in Versafine ink and clear heat embossing it.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week! Don't forget if you place an order with Shimmerz Paints to mention my name, Ericka Strange, in the comment section of the order for a fun freebie!
