Shimmerz Snowflakes

Happy New Years Eve day! I’m not sure what 2020 has in store for you but I hope it is something good. Today I’m over on the Shimmerz Paints blog playing with some snowflake stencils and Dazzlers and Texturez embossing pastes.

For my first two cards, I played around with spraying Vibez and Coloringz on photo paper. I got this idea from my friend Cornelia Wenokor who used Brushos on photo paper to get brilliant results. The result is a similar with the Vibez, the spray doesn’t soak into the photo paper so the result is a beautiful, vibrant shiny color.

For this card I used Vibez Jeni B Bleu and Glorious Day. Once the spray dried, I used the Gina K Snowflake Mandala Snowflake with the Spun Sugar Dazzlerz which is a pearl-essence embossing paste.

The shine of all these products is amazing! The sentiment is from Reverse Confetti.

For my second card, I used photo paper and sprayed Coloringz In Deep and Vibez Princess and Snow Storm. 

The Spun Sugar is so smooth and I love how easy it is to work with.

For my next cards I tried some Distress Ink blending.

I started with Distress Ink on Bristol Smooth paper. I used Salty Ocean, Chipped Saphirre and a little Black Soot on the edges. I splattered a little water and dabbed it up with a paper towel. I used Texturez Gold Mine which has a grainy almost sandy finish to it.

For my last card I used a Paste-eez product which is no longer sold but the Dazzlerz Gummy Berry Blue would give a similar look.

For this card, I used Distress Ink in Antique Linen, Scattered Straw, Dried Marigold, with a little Hickory Smoke on the edges.

These embossing pastes are so much fun to play with and I love the unique look they give my cards. Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
