Bingocard with Shimmerz

Hi there!

Mahlin here again with a new video... 

But first of all... Don´t forget to check out these darlings and the info in the yesterdays blogpost... 

I´ve used Hottie pink and Sparkaliscious in my video today. 

I like to have cards for different occasions readymade at home and my video today shows you how I decorated a bingocard into a cute card with Shimmerz. Ready to give away on a birthday or just to say thank you.  Since I don´t know who I will give it to there is still some decorating to complete, and a text to go with it. 

and here is the video

(unfortunately, all my text and info on which color I am using inside the video got lost somewhere  due to some error in the making.. but  the inspiration board is very helpful aswell)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Hi everyone - I created a quick little video showing the mutli uses of Shimmerz while creating a journal page:

Making a Banner for Home Photography

My sister is a photographer (Vine Images Inc) and loves using unique props.  She asked me to make her a banner for Valentine's and I thought that using Shimmerz to make it would be perfect!

The cool thing is, you can easily make these at home for your own photo shoots.

I pulled out Razzel Dazzel Berry Vibez and Cotton Candy Spritz, two beautiful pink colors, to make the tags for the banner.  So simple, easy and cute cute cute!

NOTE:

The banner below was embellished AFTER the video with some stamping and ink around the edges.

Thanks Julie for the use of the photos!

And here is the video!

Distress This: A subtle use of color and layers!

Recently I have been asked how to create the monochromatic looking layouts that I do, with bits of paint peeking through in a distressed fashion... and I thought that there was no time like the present to show you how I create a layout or canvas using a very subtle color palette, lots of whites, with hints of color.

Here is a peeky at what we will be working on...

We will be using all kinds of texture, mists, paint pots, and more!Click on the video to watch and play along with me. You will need a canvas, a photo, strips of neutral colored fabric, molding paste, a mask, bits and baubles, and of course, your favorite color Shimmerz paints... 

:) We are cruisin' on into that new year, aren't we? I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you an amazing 2012!
