Check out these beautiful cards from DT member Suzanne Dean using the new WOJ summer Willow & Oakley stamps (which are currently on preorder in the store and expected to ship in early June). The bottom image shows an up-close look at the Shimmerz paint on the bodice, skirt and top of Willow's hat. What I LOVE about this card is that Suzanne is not locked into a certain scheme for the card just because the image has cherries in it. Just because we traditionally think of fruit being a certain color doesn't mean we have to always color it that way. Take a chance with color! Experiment! The results are going to be amazing!

Looking for supplies for a card like this? Here they are:
I have just added 13 colors of Shimmerz and 2 colors of Blingz to the store. Here is some "technical" information on these new-to-the-store items:
Shimmerz are highly iridescent, waterbased, non-toxic paints. They adhere to nearly anything including metal and acetate and dry within minutes. They come in a sealed .25 oz. jar and are premixed and ready to use.
Blingz are highly iridescent, waterbased, non-toxic paints that have been called "Shimmerz on steroids." They offer all the features of Shimmerz but are thicker and more glittery! They also adhere to nearly anything including metal and acetate, dry within minutes, come in a sealed .25 oz. jar, and are premixed and ready to use. Below you will find a couple examples from Claudia Rosa showing how Shimmerz and Blingz can be used on cards to really make them sparkle.
Here is a picture to show you how wonderful the Pixie Dust Blingz shimmers on the cake. Remember to click to image to see a large image that really shows the detail of the cake!
Check out the sparkle on this card. Claudia used Shimmerz on the clovers and on the scallops of the die cut paper. Shimmerz and Blingz will really make your cards come alive!
