In my project for the anniversary blog hop, I am using the stunning Altenew Happy Bloom stamp set and Tonic Studios’ Shimmer Powders. These gorgeous watercolor powders create mesmerizing effects; I used them to make a beautiful background that I used for a Zig Marker underpainting technique. Underpainting is something I’ve been really enjoying lately; you can see more underpainting projects I’ve made by clicking here.

The vibrancy of these Shimmer Powders are incredible. Coupled with similar tones of Zig markers, the white heat embossed florals simply pop off this card. Plus, as the name suggests, these powders are extremely shimmery; when they capture the light, it is so pretty!
I embellished the design with some of Pretty Pink Posh’s new jewels; Amethyst, Aquamarine and Watermelon. I also popped up a sentiment from Happy Bloom that I white heat embossed onto Mermaid cardstock.

Your card is so totally colorful! I love it! I wish there was some yellow in there somewhere but I forgive you for not using my favorite color in the whole wide world in your card. How could you know it was my favorite color? LOL
I am in love with flowers. We had a ton of flowers in our yard but we have some mutant ninja squirrels and now we don’t have any anymore.That’s why I love to stamp. I can have all the flowers I want and those mutant ninja squirrels can’t ruin them! LOL I love the embossing and the new jewels which I want to get when I win.
Thank you for showing us your pretty, colorful card and for giving us the chance to win something.

I have been holding out buying the shimmer powders but after seeing what you can do with them I have to have them. Your cards are stunning.
I love painting with Zig markers but have not tried the shimmer powders. Love your cards.
These cards are just stunning! I love using watercolor powders for backgrounds and adding heat-embossed images/sentiments over them, but I never thought of painting on them. So thank you so much for the video tutorial on the under-painting technique. Your addition of the gems just took the card up another level.
haven’t tried these shimmering powders, but do love the zig markers. inspiring.
