One of the hot products in the stores is Glimmer Mist-a spray that adds a fine glittery shimmer to your project. Here is a quick and inexpensive way to create your own. Here's what you'll need.
-small spray bottle (look in the beauty-travel products section)
-water
-CTMH Create-A-Shade Pearl Paint (z1039) $2.95 for a 2 oz. tube that will probably make gallons!
-optional CTMH Re-Inker 60 Colors to choose from! $4.95 1 0z. bottle that will probably make gallons!
Add 1-2 drops of the Create-A-Shade Pearl Paint to the bottle. Add water and shake. If you want to color your spray, add 8-12 drops of your favorite reinker. Without reinker, the spray will be iridescent.
Depending on how fine a mist your bottle produces, hold the bottle about 6 inches from your item and spray! I would test on a scrap first. Works great for cardstock, Just Blooms flowers, and dimensional elements. I suggest spraying once and let it dry for a moment and then reapply if you want more shimmer. If you have stamped your project, be careful not to wet it too much or your ink may run.
This is a perfect way to add some custom sparkle to your holiday cards, layouts, and other projects!
I sprayed a Just Bloom and dried it in a snap with my heat gun. It's hard to capture the shimmer on camera but it's there. The possibilities are endless...
Enjoy!
