For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team,If You Want Your 'Children To Be Intelligent, Read Them Fairytales.....Albert Einstein

 Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new post for the amazing Shimmerz Paints! Go and see all the fun                                                                              treasures there!    





I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto watercolor paper measuring 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches. I taped on flowers, glued on beads and other items, and I brushed on                                                                Shimmerz Paints I rubbed on gold mica powder on different areas. 
                 I glued on slightly larger pieces of watercolor paper underneath the top piece.
When I painted these, I used a watercolor brush and brushed on water on about a quarter of the atc, then put the color on. Whatever I felt like adding I waited til the first coat was dry, then put on more color. These are very fine watercolors, the shimmer and shine is amazing.  




On the above atc I used several different colors on the edges. Shades of purple, blue, pretty much wound up with Twinkle Twinkle on top of Ultra Marine. That's about what shows anyway.



 To add visual interest I added seed beads,pearls,sequins, glass glitter,glass beads, flowers, feathers,   tulle,and fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers. I punched holes and added wire to make a hanger. I glued on a piece of cardstock the same size of the ATC on the back. I'll sign my name on them.

Perfect Day - Joanne Bartell

Hi friends! Have you seen the amazing April 2024 Color & Paper Kitz? They are absolutely gorgeous and packed full of stunning colors. 


I started off using strips of the pastel colored papers from the kitz and tore them on the edges. To conceal where the straight line of the papers ended, I clustered several of the pretty florals. I made my own cloud stencil out of a piece of acetate and used Blue Jeans to stencil clouds in the sky.



I used the sentiment phrases inside the layers to put cute little words all over the paper strips. I finished the clusters off with the adorable little bird house die cut.


I used some Shimmerz Paint in green to make some grass and used dragon flies, frogs, a snail, and a bicycle to make an outdoor scene on the bottom of my page. The hot air balloons were a perfect touch to this layout, and I used the blue balloon to conceal people in the background of the photo.




Please feel free to watch my process video on YouTube. Remember, if you leave my name in the comment box of your order, you will receive a FREE GIFT with purchase. Thank you!

March Showers Using the April Color Kitz Bundle

Hello all!  Nicole here using the April Color Kitz Bundle to make this rainy day page!

First thing I did for this layout was grab my , background that I made during my unboxing video with the Sunny Side Up Coloringz, Well Blue Me Down Coloringz, and the Blue Jeans Vibez.  


I then tried to find some tone on tone papers to go with my background.  I tore them up and overlapped them with my photo.

I used some fussy cut flowers, stickers and ephemera from the kit to make little clusters all over my page.  I finished with buttons and sequins from my stash and some journaling.

Thanks so much for stopping in and reading about my layout.  You can find the kit here: https://www.shimmerzpaints.com/collections/shimmerz-paints-color-kitz/products/color-kitz-the-april-2024-complete-bundle-collection

Picture Perfect - Joanne Bartell

Hi friends! Have you seen the April Paper and Color Kitz? Absolutely gorgeous colors and wow the papers are so super pretty! Feel free to check out the process video on my YouTube channel to see how this came together! 


I started off making paper strips with four of my favorite paper designs from April's kit. I cut them in varying lengths and widths, and scored them down the center to add interest and dimension.


I used Peach and Cream and Piggy Back colors from this month's kitz and painted in between the paper strips and along the edges as well. I finished it off with black splatters using the Color Splash glossy acrylic sprays Black Hole color. 


I also created florals using metal dies with the 4 patterned papers. 



I really love how this came out and absolutely adore the colors. Please feel free to watch my YouTube process video if you would like to see how this came together. As always, if you leave my name in the comment box of your order, you will receive a FREE GIFT! 

Thank you!
