Creating Pattern Paper With Shimmerz and a GIVEAWAY!

For today's project, I am going to show you a super fun and fast idea of how to create your own pattern paper!

I just got a white piece of cardstock (any color would work great). I cut out some star with my cricut using Post-it Craft Paper. This is my favorite paper when doing a project like this:) Place the Post-it stars randomly on paper. Spray using Shimmerz Paints. I used multiple colors and they blended perfectly. YAY! Set somewhere to dry. Once dry, pull off the Post-it Craft Paper:) That's it, easy as 1-2-3!

I love how much shimmer these fun paints give my project!
