Shimmerz Hula Hanna
I applied the paint by squeezing out the water in the tip of my aquapainter, then dipping it into the lid of my paint. It goes on very easy and dries fast.
Here is a close up of the glitter... but you really have to see it in person to get the full SHAZAM effect! *wink*
Here are the card details:
Stamps: Hula Hanna (Hanna Stamps)
Paper: Neenah White, Certainly Celery (SU!), Prism Blush Dark Red, A Shore Thing (Imaginisce).
Ink: Ranger Distress Black Soot, Copic Markers.
Other: Shimmerz Celery and Magenta Paint, 3/4 inch and 1 inch Circle Punches, Dimensionals, Crafter's Tool Kit, Celery Brads, Scor-Pal.
Have a super day! I'm going to find more things to Shimmerize!!

Shakin Summer Shimmerz!!
Having a little playtime with my Shimmerz!!! and I just added a whole bunch of new colors to my collection. In the meantime, here's a little sample for someone special!!!! She's a true friend. We both love stamping, creating and papercrafting. I love that we can be honest, genuine and critical of each other's work without being offended or offending - and I've never felt that it was a competition between us - very mutual respect. Off it goes in the mail to her...
Card details - the base is SU Marigold cardstock - I wish for the life of me I could remember the pattern paper because I really love it - I know I have more - I store my pattern paper by company and short of going through each of my pattern paper sleeves.... well - I just can't remember. I know that either Kim or Lori will probably know the minute they see it.... let me know - ok? The rubber stamps are from Kim Hughes Collection at Cornish Heritage Farms. The stamped swirls on the background were done using pigment ink. Tree was stamped twice, cut out and paper pieced (love that technique) and a perfect little song bird is from Prima (painted of course with Shimmerz). Sentiment was computer generated and paper handcut for little banner. Hope you enjoy and can get a glimpse of what Shimmerz can add to your papercrafting enjoyment. Enjoy and Create, Lila

Shimmerin' Starz
I finally got into my scrap room after a whole week off! Well I am back and I opened up a little jar of Ultra Marine Shimmerz to get my mojo flowing! I used it on the border of this Jenni Bowlin paper, on the blue chipboard star from Pressed Petals and the Heidi Swapp Ghost star.
Thanks for lookin'! Let me know what you think!
