HI there! I just pop up to share with you the easy faux shimmer coloring with shimmer paper and illustrator markers from Spectrum Noir.

I am fascinated with this faux technique and a lot of you have been asking how to make it. It is real simple and the trick is use shimmer paper to stamp your images. In my sample I stamped the new Blooming Texture stamp from RG Avenue into White Shimmer using Finesse Alcohol Proof Dye Ink Noir Black from Spectrum Noir.

Then I start coloring with Triblend Markers from Spectrum Noir. It is the most easy way to use the alcohol markers. Each pen came with 3 different colors, light, medium and dark and you can work only with one piece.

With TriBlends, I prefer to start with the dark color, continue with the Medium and finalize with the light. Below you can see the colors that I used to create my look.

To make the card more attractive, I splattered the card base with two different greens of Harmony Water Reactive Dye Ink.

I pasted the colored piece with crafty foam tape and stamped the Thinking of You Vertical sentiment.

Thank you for stopping by. Coloring is one of the most relaxing therapies that you can find during these days!
