Hello Shimmerz fans!
I'm so excited to share with you the project I have created!
Today's project is an art journal page featuring the fantastic sprays
and the new AcriTonez paints!
I began with prepping my pages with clear gesso and spraying the
background with Ruby spritz, Peachy Keen Coloringz, Sunset Strip Vibez,
Quit Yer Wine-n Vibez and Walkin' a tight Heliotrop Spritz. The gesso
allowed for easier movement of the sprays when they were spritzed with
water. Red, peach and yellow blend beautifully together, however when
you introduce purple, you have to be careful not to blend it with the
yellow or you'll create a muddy brown color...so be sure to keep a paper
towel beside you to absorb puddles of those colors. Here is a close up
of the background:
I stamped layers of text in coordinating colors and used dimensional
paste colored with the above sprays to add more texture in the
background. I then went in with the AcriTonez and painted green stems.
While this was all drying, I went to my stash and found a 6x6 paper pad
with coordinating colors and drew very sketchy petals with a black
sharpie. I fussy cut those petals out and glued them down, added
wood/enamel adhesive centers and rub on leaves. The smaller flowers in
the background were made using dabs of the AcriTonez paints and white
gesso. I finished the page off by adding my title and a thin black
border around the page. Here are close ups of the final page:

I have created a short process video of how I created this layout!
