I thought i might give a few more project ideas , as well as an FAQ video for those of you who already use Glimmer mists. I think these projects help show how versatile this product is and how you don’t only have to use it for scrapbooking. While making a Halloween wreath this year, Heather was having a difficult time finding fake black roses, so instead of doing with out, or spending way too much money on them, she bought some fake white roses and sprayed them with Raven Glimmer Mist and created her own black roses. This is just one idea of how glimmer mists can work for any project you might have!!
While at CHA this summer we picked up an amazing company, not new to the scrapbooking world, but new to Whatwefound. This company had a new make and take every day and me and Heather made SURE we stoped by daily. There product is something that may be a little advanced in the scrapbooking world, can can EASILY make any project look more difficult. They call there product Glimmer Mist, and if you would like more information on it you can find the info on our website or on Tattered Angels website. We learned this technique while at CHA and i thought i would share it with you! Even though Halloween is over these cards can be made using any color for any holiday or occasion.
You will use glimmer screens. cardstock and glimmer mist in this project. Feel free to add any other embellishments, Anabelle from Tattered Angels created this idea and used certain.
First, spray a Glimmer Screen with Glimmer Mist. I made three cards. I used Haunted Shadow, Meadow Green and Jack O’Lantern to spray the screens.
Next, I carefully removed the screen from the scrap paper I’d sprayed it on, and layed it onto a clean paper. With the glimmer side facing up still.
Then, I carefully placed my cardstock onto the wet screen. You have to be careful not to move the paper around and cause a smear.
Finish the sandwich by adding the embossing mat and covering with the white plate. Run it through the Wizard and then peel off the Glimmer Screen. You’ll have a beautifully embossed, glimmery image that looks just like a letterpress!
It’s really hard to capture the shimmer and embossed look in a photo, but I think you can get a good idea from this shot.
Because I loved the design and colors of my embossed images, I decided on a simple card layout. I matted the images on black cardstock, sprayed some Halloween Calling Cards with Glimmer Mist (Indian Corn, Bronze and Lime Twist)Â and adhered them with foam adhesive. A few gems added just the right touch of bling.
