good MORNING! i have a VERY exciting project for ya today – not only is it my first Princess Isabella card it also features more of the Inspirations shimmering paints i was asked to test out!
what…test out something with super shimmer power? how could i say no! do those look DEE lish or what!?!?!?! but more on the paints in a minute!
my card uses the SCS sketch241 for today – i really loved this one! i used the cutting outside the box trick with my nesties so Isa’s little music notes stick out a bit. her hair and skin are done with copics and most of the rest came from my scrap pile – the papers and ribbons. i wanted her eyes to have some sparkle and did those with my chocolate spica pen.
i have been doing a lot of crocheting while i watch pez in the yard – such an easy thing to grab and take with me. i like the intricate fancy patterns so i use size 20 thread and a tiny hook to keep their size reasonable!
i wanted to try and give you a good glimpse of the shimmer in the Inspirations paints. i used 4 colors on Isa – turquoise, sky blue, bright yellow and white frost. Two really cool things about these paints – the colors are VERY vibrant and they stay mixed – no seperating of the ingredients. they are also vibrant and still sheer so the detail lines of my stamp can show through. i hope to do more experimenting with these soon! they are not available for purchase YET but very very soon! just a few minor details being worked out and i will be sure to pass on the details!
and now i am off – i promised tot ake pezzy to the park before it gets too hideous out!
be sure and let me know what you think of Isa AND the cool new paints!
have a fabby day!

I love this one. the paints are incredible and the image too. Never done the cutting outside the nesties and don’t know how to. Have you put any instructions out in the past please?
Love the image and that shimmer is really great! Such a pretty card and great take on the sketch.
Wow~! Great card! Love all the shimmer and that crocheted flower is fabulous!
I really like the princess collection. I like the stamps of kids from foriegn lands. They are just too cute.
Marti, this is awesome! Great colors and love those paints! The flower is a perfect accent! Blessings to you!
BUDDY!!! Isa is gooooorgeous!!!! Your photos are looking AWESOME too if I may say! I love that first one with the sprinkle of Skittles!
*thumbs up* on the awesome animated picture to illustrate the sparkly-ness!
Hey! How did you do that animated pic??? that’s awesome! Your card is cute, cute, cute! I probably would have shyed away from those bright shimmer colors, but you rocked it! I *need* that white, but I’m feeling like those blues will need to come home with me too 🙂 TFS
So cute Marti–love all that shimmer! What’s this new paint? Do I need it? LOL!
