shimmer paint in any color

I miss our Champagne Shimmer Paint! So I started thinking about ways to create shimmer and realized that we already have it! The Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics pack (#156310) currently comes in Black Pearl, White Pearl and Red Pearl colors. The white can be tinted with all of our Re-inkers to create perfect matches for your projects!
I combined one of my favorite 3D embossing folders, Seashells 3D embossing folder (#154309) which is sadly on the current Last Chance list, as well as the Friends are like Seashells stamp set (#154368).

Base:
Granny Apple Green CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″ scrap for sentiment oval
Basic White: 4″ x 5 1/4″ embossed with
Seashells 3D embossing folder

Using an acrylic block squeeze out some of the Pearlized Enamel Effect in white and using a water painter squueze the barrell and add a few drops of water to the enamel.

Brush the thinned mixture onto all of the embossed seashell images.

I added a drop of Pool Party ink to the edge of the white enamel mixture and painted all of the background water.

I then added a drop of Granny Apple Green re-inker to the remainder.

I painted the remaining seaweed images in green.

I washed off the acrylic block and added another dollop of White enamel to the block and added a few drops of water from the water painter and after the cardstock was dry I added a top coat of clear shimmer to the entire paper to add shimmer and soften the painting.
I popped up the layer on Stampin’ Dimensionals and added a sentiment from the Friends are like Seashells stamp set.

The possibilities are endless, shimmer in every Stampin’ Up! color! Try some soon and add colored or clear shimmer to your next project, for all my customers out there that have a love-hate relationship with glitter this is the PERFECT solution. Shimmer without the mess of glitter! Go out and create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
