Flourishes and Shimmerz Paints SWAP

Posted in Recent projects, Shimmerz Paint at 2:55 pm

Flourishes rubber stamps and Shimmerz Paints design teams had the opportunity to SWAP stamps and paint - what a gorgeous explosion of color, design, and talent.  Here’s my project…

I used a 8X11 oval pre-primed canvas and gave it a quick watercolor type wash using various blue re-inkers. While it was still a little damp gave a quick all over “Spritz” using “Baby’s Breath” Shimmerz Spritz.  While I let the canvas dry I started stamping my images using Flourishes “Waterlilies” , stamped onto Solar White Neenah cardstock, and embossed with black detail embossing powder. Images were watercolored using re-inkers and water.  Once the images were dry, using my paper snips I trimmed each image.  I made extra images of the large waterlilies so I could cut the center parts of the flower and pop up with dimensional tape - really gave some added dimension.  Once cut and decided on the placement used some glue to adhere in place. The sentiment from the “Waterlilies” set was stamped and embossed, then used an oval Nestabilities die cut, while the die was still in place I started sponging the colors used on the canvas base. This was layered on a slightly larger oval water color blue mat. Then went to work giving the “Waterlilies” some “Angel Wings” Shimmerz here and there.  I love how it turned out and can’t wait to place a haning mechanism on the back to display…..  Here’s a little close-up…
