Using Glimmer Mist...

...Some of you have been asking how to use this amazing stuff. If you are an expert, now is your chance to skip this post. I have created a couple of visuals to give you an idea on the end possibilities of this stuff.

This first photo is just simply a piece of Kraft cardstock, sprayed with one color of glimmer mist. You can mix colours to give contrasting effects. Glimmer Mist is great for using to give layouts and cards the distressed, vintage look. And there are Sooooo many yummy colours.This next photo shows you what it looks like once you have sprayed the glimmer mist, then wiped over it with a tissue or paper towel. Positive and negative masking. You can buy purpose made glimmer masks, but here, all I have done is used my die cutting machine to cut the image, then used both pieces on the cardstock.Finally a tag, that I made in...say...all of 10 minutes using several different types of media, including glimmer mist in two colours. It is hard to tell but the leaf pattern is a slight shade of green on the tag. I have stamped an image on the first layer of glimmer mist after it is dry. Then sprayed the 'Coffee Shop' colour over the whole tag, before adding flowers.

I hope that this gives you a small insight into using glimmer mist, don't be afraid to experiment a little. We would love to see what you can do with it. So please share your work with us by emailing your creations to julia@scrapboxnz.com
