Shimmerz Paints: One Of A Kind!







Hi Creatives! 

Welcome back for more Shimmerz Paints inspiration! 
Today I am showcasing the incredible Dazzlerz paints! 

Dazzlers are smooth, incredibly shimmery, dimensional paints. 
Their paste like texture is excellent for use in mixed media, card making and scrapbooking. 
They come in a variety of beautiful colors.... including all the colors of the rainbow! 

Here's what I'm talkin' 'bout! 


Vibrant, shimmery, rainbow delight!
Background perfection! 

Here's how I created that base....


I know, nothing tricky to see here! 
Simply swipe your Dazzlerz onto the stencil/mask with a palette knife (or store card) & voila!
It's seriously that easy! 
And isn't the result just gorgeous?!!

Love how intense and shiny the Dazzlerz are! 
For this background,  I used the following Dazzlerz colors:


Here's my completed page....

"One Of A Kind"


Isn't this fabulous & fun?!! 
All the rainbow stars for the win!
Here's a closer look.....


I've used the Elle's Studio April Kit & Add-Ons, including the wood veneer title One Of A Kind. The veneer looked really dull against all those bright Dazzlerz, so to jazz it up I gave it a good spray with Shimmerz Paints Vibez Before Dawn!
Here's a better look at it.....


Oh just look at that shimmer!!! 
The black is so striking against my rainbow of stars! 
And speaking of stars, to make the Dazzlerz stars pop even more you'll spy the occasional Acrylic Star and Puffy Star Sticker embellishment amongst them too! 



The sweetest!!! 
And seriously, how dazzling is that background!!!
In case you need more convincing.....


Aaaaaah-MAZING color!


When it comes to high shine, bright and beautiful color, Dazzlerz are your best friend!



I hope my layout has inspired you to try DAZZLERZ!

Shimmerz Paints: Illustration FUN!





Hi Happy Arty Days Friends!

Welcome back for more Shimmerz Paints inspiration!
Today I am sharing a very quick, &  sweet illustration that I have hand coloured with our favourite Creameez products! 


Creameez are intensely pigmented, solid, dry, watercolors that are activated by the application of water. They have just a hint of shimmer and are rich in color and tone.

Today's share started as a sample for my students. 
We were discussing the importance of five minute illustrations, 
& that not all works need to be masterpieces to be meaningful. 
So while we talked, I quickly penned up this sweet face, inspired by artist Maruti Bitamin. 
I was considering her for a stamp design - but she got too messy fast! 
And while she isn't my greatest work,  this piece certainly serves the point of creating art for Art's sake! 


Sweet, huh?!
I was going to toss her in the bin at the end of class, but then thought that would make me a hypocrite. 
What if I could 'color' her & really add more depth to the conversation with my students about value, and adding meaning to our doodles and scribbles???
And so the scribble, became the artwork!

Here's how she turned out...... 


Didn't she turn out lovely?! 
Such a sweet piece that took no more than 10 minutes to create, 
but would look just gorgeous in a frame! 
Giving respect to our illustrations, and using some quality paint really changes the aspect!
And which of our beautiful Creameez watercolors did I use?



You'll spy Shimmerz Paints Creameez in:

Such beautiful, rich colors!

When it comes to adding meaning or value to our scribbles, 
Shimmerz Paints have got you covered!

***Did you know, if you type AMANDA in the comments section of your Shimmerz Paints store order you'll receive a freebie?!!***
So what are you waiting for? 
& make sure you receive your free paint! Yay!!!



Thanks so much for stopping by today!
I hope you feel inspired to get drawing, and painting - it's FUN!!!

Shimmerz Paints: November Hello Happy!






Hi Creative Friends!

Time for a lil more Shimmerz Paints inspiration!
Today I am focusing on the gorgeous Paste-eez ....

Paste-eez
Gah! They're soooooo pretty!
But what are Paste-eez?
PAPASTE-EEZ is a smooth dimensional paste with a matte (low sheen) finish. 
They come in a 3oz Jar in 12 incredible colors.
Here's what I have created with mine today......

"Hello Happy"



Oh happiness indeed!!!
Love those gorgeous pop colours!
& dont they just look terrific with Shimelle's Glitter Girl line?!!
For this layout, I used:
Paste-eez: Raspberry Sherbert 
Paste-eez: Peach Fuzz
Paste-eez: Yell-O It's Me &
Paste-eez: Baby Boy Blue
The colours are so vibrant and intense! Just beautiful!
I applied the Paste-eez with a palette knife, but an old store/credit card would work just as easily.
Here's a few close ups for you....


That Raspberry Sherbert is one of my all-time FAVE Shimmerz Paints products - photos just don't do it justice! 
Such a beautiful colour!
I love the contrast of it against the Peach Fuzz too!


SO cheerful & happy! 
The blue and yellow make my heart sing!
It really is ALL about the colour at Shimmerz Paints!
