The Magic Of Christmas Never Ends, For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team


 Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new post for the amazing ShimmerzPaints! Go and see all the fun                                                 treasures there!                                







I made 12 gift tags with a book box to put them in. I'm going to give them to family for mini Christmas cards. I used a reindeer stamp that measures 3" x 3". It's by Stampendous at Hobby Lobby, I've had it for a few years and finally used it. I keep it on display year round in my scrap room,that's how much I like it.
To make these cards I used watercolor paper, on one I used handmade paper, the one I show below.
They are all about 3 by 3 inches. I scored the folds with an exacto knife with a ruler.and used a bone folder to make the fold. I stamped the images and started painting. I used #0 watercolor brushes, they're very small.
I brushed on white gesso for accents at the end, and that sort of pulled everything together. I experimented with what colors I liked the most. Penny 4 Your Thoughts is the basic color here. So Sappy was perfect for a golden hue on top of the Penny.  I found putting a small amount on the brush and working in layers was what worked, letting the paint dry in between.














  Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!

Christmas Advent Calendar, For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team


                                       Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new post for the                                                                             amazing ShimmerzPaints! Go and see all the fun treasures there! 




This is a cardboard advent calendar I bought at Hobby Lobby last year.

To make this project, I covered each box with some Prima scrapbooking paper from about 10 years ago. I layered on clear gesso, Prima Platinum texture paste with a stencil, Shimmerz paints, and mica powders in gold and silver. I added the charms and covered them with clear gesso, so paint would stick to them. The charms were from my stash, and from Reneabouquets. 

To add visual interest I added just a few micro beads, glass glitter,Swarovski  crystals, and glass beads. 
I added on the numbers with a little glossy accents, they're from old Tim Holtz scrapbooking paper.






Inklingz: Penny 4 Your Thoughts, Angel's Kiss,no longer in stock.


I covered the top and back of the box with white gesso.









                                           Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!

Fairy Lights On Winter Nights, For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team

 


Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Shimmerz Paints! Go and see all the             fun treasures there! 




To make this page, I put the layers under the photo together,starting with taping on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat. I added layers of corrugated cardboard and a watercolor mat. The bottom layer of cardboard has gesso that I poured Ultra Thick Embossing Powder onto and heated till  it was just melted.
 I applied Prima Platinum crackle paste on 49 and Market paper with a stencil and a spatula.I arranged the Beautiful Board and flowers around the page, then added the beads and other items.I brushed on Shimmerz Paints, and glued on more beads. I applied jaquard brilliant gold and silver mica powder with my fingers over raised edges and other items.



To add visual interest I added micro beads, glass glitter,Swarovski  crystals, glass beads, sequins, tulle,lace,iridescent wrapping paper,flowers,iridescent wrapping paper,  and bling from my stash. A lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.I used double sided foam tape for the                                  flowers and some other things,and to put the cardboard layers together.
