DIY GLIMMER MIST

I made this card for today's Technique Lover's Challenge. The challenge: add a hint of a glimmer or a shimmer to your art. There are a couple of ways to do this.. Here are some recipes as shared by Beth...

To make the spray, get a small spray bottle.

Add to it:

1/4 teaspoon Perfect Pearls

1 ounce water reinker - depends on how dark you want it. About 10 drops is a good place to start.

Shake well and spray on your project.

Of course, how close you are to the project when you spray will determine the amount of coverage and wetness. Experiment to get the idea and recognize that you will never get exactly the same effects twice. You do not have to measure the ingredients exactly. It is important to use Perfect Pearls and NOT Pearl-Ex. Perfect Pearls has a binding agent in it and it will “stick” to your project. Pearl-Ex will fall off your project after the water dries unless you use the alternate recipe…..

Alternate method:

Get a travel size bottle of Hair Spray

add Pearl-Ex and reinker to it

Shake well and you are good to go.

Well, I had a problem. I don't have pearl-ex or perfect pearls. I do however have lots of eyeshadow powder. So I used the alternate method. hairspray, shimmery eyeshadow powder and barely banana reinker.. viola! It is very difficult to get a picture of the shimmer.. but believe me it is there.
