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!

Remember those summerdays with Shimmerz

Oh those limited edition colors are sending me straight into Holiday mood!

But, before that.. I had to get my hands on some summermemories to cheer up the day around here.. Scrapping some photos from the outdoor picnics this summer. I had lots of fun with bright colors, drips and drops. Playing with gesso and textures.

and here it is.. in motion =)

Thanks for joining me today...

What can you do with our new limited edition colors?

Christmas Charm Bracelet and Quick Wrapping Paper

I must have been a good girl this year because I was lucky to get my hands on the newest Shimmerz Winter release colors!

It is hard to say which colors I like the most because they are all so beautiful. However, I have to point out that Jack Frost Enamelz is really amazing. It isn't like your ordinary embossing powder. It is chunky like bits of mica flakes and it is a dream to work with.

These colors are so bright and happy that I wanted to make something whimsical and fun with them.

This Christmas charm bracelet fit the bill. Christmas trees and snowballs, oh my!

Even though this project looks complicated, it really isn't.

And, because I think that creating homemade wrapping paper is so fun, I also included a quick demo on how to decorate plain paper. Now, you can create a cute charm bracelet and wrap it beautifully!

I hope that you enjoy the video! And while you are watching and learning the simple techniques, think about different shapes that you could create for your charm bracelet. What about cute Santa hats? Or presents? The possibilities are endless!



I know that you'll enjoy these colors as much as I have. And hurry! They are only here for a very limited time! You can purchase Shimmerz products in the Shimmerz Shop.

Enamelz is so fun to work with!  And with my new toy, a melting pot, it makes it so easy to dip items into the Enamelz.

Think of all the dipping possibilities.  Shimmerz has a great selection of colors in the Enamelz, so check them out in the Shimmerz Shop! 

Hope you enjoy!
