A Mixed Media Reverse Canvas ~ Discover by Gabrielle

Hi Shimmerz Fans! Gabrielle here with you today, I'm so happy to share with you  a reverse style canvas I made on a 4"x 6" canvas using a TCW (The Crafter's Workshop) Mini-Brick Stencil, Shimmerz Paints and some NEW Dusty Attic chipboard!

~ Glorious Day Vibez

~ Truffle Spritz

~ Don't Be Suede Coloringz

~ Green Olive Shimmerz

~ Greener Pastures Creameez

~ Boogie Boardin' Blue Creameez

TCW Stencil used in this project:

~ Mini Bricks (6x6 inch stencil)

So to make things easier I did up a video tutorial on how this project was made.  So grab yourself a lil break and enjoy! xo

Hope you enjoyed watching.....here are a few close-ups you can view at your leisure....

I just love well the Shimmerz Inklingz and Creameez work when painting chipboard pieces.  Here I painted the Dusty Attic Indian Arrow....so many fun things you can do with this one!  I did a little quick painting with Shimmerz Creameez & Inklings, then added some twine and Bo Bunny adhesive pearls for a unique look.

For the butterfly, I printed off a butterfly image on an acetate sheet and cut out two sizes, gluing them together.  (I had the image on my old computer, so I no longer have the image to share....but you can find many printable butterfly images on Pinterest).  The metal embellishments are the key and keyhole embellishments from Graphic 45.  I used the TCW mini-brick stencil with the NEW Dusty Attic Texture paste to get my background design.

I used a combination of Shimmerz Glorious Day Vibez, Truffle Spritz and Green Olive Shimmerz Paint for the background brick texture colors.

Hope you enjoyed today's post! thanks so much for stopping by, your comments and feedback are always appreciated!

A Quick & Easy Canvas!

Hi all! I'm so excited to share with you today a small canvas design I made using goodies from the September Flying Unicorn kits and some of my favorite Shimmerz Paints Products. There were so many beautiful metal embellishments in this kit I wanted to use them on a mixed media style canvas.  Most of what is on this canvas is from the September kits from Flying Unicorn (I think the only thing from my stash is a couple of adhesive gems and a couple small Dusty Attic chipboard pieces and some Shimmerz Paintz (although some of the Shimmerz products are in the kit)....I will list them below).  As always, I find it easier to show than to tell, so here is a little video tutorial I made up for this piece,...enjoy!

As I said, most of the products I used on this canvas are from the Flying Unicorn kits, but here are the Shimmerz Products used on this canvas....

~ Sunset Strip Vibez

~ Before the Dawn Vibez

~Truffle Spritz

~ Jeni B Bleu Vibez (in Kit)

~ Apple Cider Blingz

Hey there, it's Tanisha here! I just wanted to pop in to share with you a couple of projects that I've completed this weekend.

I created this card and used Shimmerz barn door spritz on the stars and sapphire spritz on the satin ribbon for a beautiful finishing touch!


I love these papers by Collage Press, they are the perfect match for this photo, one of my fave pics that I took this summer. It's of my little Xan and I love it because it's so full of personality and I just want to kiss all over those sweet cheeks every time I see it!

I also used Shimmerz spritz here too. I spritzed truffle in the upper and lower right corners. I trimmed the background paper to 10 3/4 x 12 to accommodate for the overhang.

Then I spritzed truffle over the chipboard word that I painted with crackle paint. The crackle and the glimmer seems like a contradiction, but works so well here.

Thanks for taking a peek...have a great time creating today!!!
