Playing with ink & finding beauty in the smudges

Let it Shimmer! – CTMH Technique Blog Hop

Welcome to this month’s Technique Blog Hop where we the theme is to “Let it Shimmer!” with Close To My Heart products.

If you have arrived here from Alyson Mayo then you are in the right place.

If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post.

Who doesn’t love shimmer & with the Close To My Heart Shimmer brushes it is super easy to add shimmer to your projects.

On this card I added the Gold Shimmer brush to the Star Balloon & on the cute clouds I used the clear shimmer to give them some shine & make them look like they are full of rain.

I used the updated Bring Back My Pack – Brushed paper to create my little scene for the Snuggle Up Bunnies

This is a angle shot to try & get a better image of the shine the Shimmer brushes add

My next card idea was inspired by a card from the Craft with Heart™ Cardmaking subscription but believe me when I say that the card that was in the subscription was much faster & quicker to make but still just as cute

I used the Clear shimmer on the flowers that wrap around the cake, on the Sweet Hummingbird & on the stitched shaker circle.

This is a angle shot to try & get a better image of the shine the Shimmer brushes add – it really is much nicer in real life.

For those of you who want to learn how to get your Close To My Heart Shimmer Brush started – this is a great little video

I’d love for you to leave a comment before you head on over to Wendy Kessler to get more Let it Shimmer! ideas.
