Shimmerz Art Journal page and a video

Goodness more than 1 post in a day?
I know.....Shocking, right!!

I have some stuff to share!  I really am not good at sharing....I totally forget.
So there is a video over at SHIMMERZ today
An Art Journal page using lots of Shimmerz Mists and paints.  Lots of stamping too.

Heres the project....





AND now heres the video showing you how I did it.....

TCR Release #114

Morning.
Here is this weeks release


Lovely rich colours with the addition of the gold....very nice to work with!


Shimmerz Paints assisted in the spray and the droplets
Licorice Spritz
Hot Fudge Vibez
This was done on the rice paper, so an interesting effect with the wet mediums.


Gesso and a credit card added the texture, with machine stitching here and there.



I enjoyed this one!!!!
