Shimmerz Paints Tips and a Scraplift

Hello, scrappers! Jana here! I have so much to share with you today! It's a two-for-one post! :)

Have you ever bought a new product and you weren't quite sure what to do with it?! I know I have! One of the things that confused me when I first started playing with it was PAINT. :)

Included in the January PAPER DOLL kit was a little pot of Pink Shimmerz paint. Have you played with it yet?! :) Or maybe you're feeling a little afraid of it? ;) Well, I want you to pull out your supplies, roll up your sleeves and try some of these ideas on your next page. :)

Change the Color of a Pearl Embellishment

Paint a Stamped Image







Apply a Paint Wash to the inside of an Embossing Folder and Emboss Cardstock

I used spray ink on this embossing folder, but I think you could easily attain the same effect with a paint wash . . . Try it! :)

And because I wasn't able to post last week when the new kit went up for sale I have a Scraplift to share with you today.

I decided to scraplift one of our members, Deanna Misner. She has such a great style and I couldn't wait to try this page of hers.

Scraplifting is one of my favorite things to do. It gives me a chance to apply my own style to the page designs I admire and love created by others. On this page, I used the shape of Deanna's circle page to ground my photo-grouping. Next I interpreted her ribbon strips underneath her photos as paper strips across my page. I added a sticker grouping to the top of my main photo to imitate her bingo card tab. And then finally, I tried to emulate her beautiful handcut flower sprays with a sprinkle of stars on my page.

Whew! That was quite a post! I hope you're not sick of me now! ;)
See you next week!
