Technique Sunday

Today we are having fun at our “Try This Technique” Class. We are playing with ink pads, acetate and glossy white CS. LOTS of colorful fun!

The first card uses a color coach combination of Cajun Craze, Baja Breeze and Old Olive:

We are also using the lovely stamp set “Always Elegant”… It is such a subtle and detailed stamp, it worked perfect in the background of this card.

On our second card, we used the new hostess level 1 stamp set “Because I care”:

And the of course we got lots of shimmer going on here! I know I’ve mentioned before how addicted I am to this stuff…

Several ladies had asked me where to get those little spray bottles called “Mini Misters”… And since our local store sells out frequently, I came up with another solution!

The little hand sanitizer spray bottles are perfect! And Walgreens has a multi pack, what a bargain:

All I did, was to pour out a small amount of the alcohol that’s already in it and then use my favorite Shimmer Paint “Champagne Mist” and added about 10-12 drops to it

That makes your instant Shimmer Spray! These Spray bottles are just a little larger than the misters, but oh so handy! And with an addiction like mine, you know I need a larger spray bottle anyway :-)

Friday night I had my silent auction and made up a batch of these babies for my customers that night:

Oh and by the way… when the spray is empty, then you can just make a new batch with regular rubbing alcohol and the shimmer paint!

Have fun!

  2. Gee we can just spray this on our hands and have shimmery soft hands lol! They sold this at the AZ regionals I went to earlier, and therre was a rush at Memento Mall to buy the $3 hand misters because they mentioned it during a WOW presentation....they sold out in just a few minutes....but buying them like this is a much better deal....Yeah, I already had to refill mine and used the scented alcohol (mint) so now my hands not only look and feel good, they smell nice as well lol lol.
