"Darling, Hooray" Layout | Shimmerz Paints

Hello Shimmerz fans!
Nicole here and today, I have a colorful layout to share with you!
I've been loving the Pinkfresh Studio Indigo Hills 2 collection lately, especially the puffy stickers. In fact, those are what inspired me to create today's layout.  Here's a look at my final layout:


This layout was so stinkin' easy to watercolor! I painted a bunch of individual leaves very loosely that I outlined with a silver gel pen. I used Inklingz in Can't Elope, Oakie Bear Blue and Precious Posey and Vibez Sunset Strip.


Once it was all dry, I fussy cut each individual leaf and laid them out on my 12x12 white cardstock that I lightly brushed with Spritz Granny Grey and white paint splatters.
When I had an arrangement that I liked, I glued only half of the leaf down and bending the other half upwards so it added dimension to my page.  Once everything was glued into place, I added in bits of ephemera and puffy stickers to my project.  Here's a few close ups of my final project:







Here's a list of the Shimmerz products used in today's layout:

Happy Thoughts Layout | Shimmerz Paints

Hello Shimmerz Fans!

Nicole here and today I have the pleasure of featuring a cut file designed by Paige Evans! This cut file is exclusive to Shimmerz Paints and is available in the Missy kit this month. For today's project, I paired this cut file with Paige's Whimsical collection.
Here's a quick look at my final project:



I began by cutting the beautiful floral heart with my Silhouette and my initial intention was to use it as a stencil with my Shimmerz Dazzlerz. Turned out, I loved the cut out piece more, so I used it instead! I mixed together Dazzlerz in Grapetastic and Paste-eez in Yell-O It's Me to get this perfect shade of purple and Paste-eez Peach Fuzz and Dazzlerz Spun Sugar in other areas.
 
I went thru the floral ephemera, rub-on's and other pieces I had from Whimsical and pulled out everything that was rose gold, purple and peach. This turned out to be a soft and gorgeous color combination! I layered lots of leaves and floral's around my photos and added my "happy thoughts" title sticker from Pinkfresh Studio. I added in strips of papers with matching color splatters on the right of my page and tucked in a few more pieces.  I finished it by adding splatters of Inklingz Miner, Miner 49er and Coloringz Peachy Keen mixed together (which is a BEAUTIFUL rose gold looking shimmer!!!) and my journaling and called it done! Here are a few close ups of my final layout:
