Better Together Layout | Shimmerz Paints

Hello Shimmerz Fanz!

Nicole here and today, I'm keeping it simple, fun and colorful on a 12x12 layout!
For today's project, I really wanted to use a butterfly cut file designed by Paige Evans, but I wanted to use it in a different way other than backing it.  The butterfly had tons of detail, so I decided to use it as a stencil in two different ways!  Here's a close up of my finished layout:




Would you just look at the detail in the butterfly?! I loved it so much that not only did i use the file to apply modeling paste to the large focal point butterfly, but I used it to mist thru on my white background paper as well!




I also used the same butterfly cut file to offset and cut the smaller layered butterflies as well.  I misted those, along with the larger butterfly, with Vibez Sunset Strip, Colorings Well Blue Me Down, Vibez Sweet Heart, Coloringz Pink Stilettos and Vibez Snow Way Man.  I also used the Snow Way Man on my background stenciling. Here are a few more close ups of my completed layout:









....and here's a look at the colors used in today's project....




Thanks so much for joining me today!
I hope you've been inspired!

Fun & Sun Layout | Shimmerz Paints

Hello Shimmerz Fans!

Nicole here and today I have a super fun and colorful 12x12 layout to share with you!  Today's layout features the July Missy Whidden kit exclusive cut file designed by none other that Paige Evans herself! Here's a look at my finished project:




I'm using the Crate Paper and Maggie Holmes Sunny Days collection from Joann's. I recently picked up quite a few of the elements from this collection and love how this turned out! I began by gessoing a sheet of navy paper and added several layers of Shimmerz to create the background behind the circle cut file.  I used Coloringz Heidi Ho Blue, Vibes Jeni B Bleu and Spritz Sapphire for the blue area and Coloringz Lil Yellow Skool Bus and Vibez Sunset Strip for the yellows. Just look at all that shimmer!


After the paint was all dry, I backed my cut file and glued it to my circle background, which I eventually cut out and glued on a sheet of coordinating pink paper. I added my photo, title, embellishments and journaling around the cut file and that was it!
Here are a few other close ups of my finished project...
