HOW to turn your shimmer paint into a fabulous glimmer spray/mist
Supplies
• Stampin’ Up! Shimmer Paints* ($11.50 ea.)
o Champagne Mist #116806
o Frost White #116854
o Platinum #116807
• Rubbing Alcohol from the Grocery Store
• Mini Mister/ spritz bottle
• Card Stock
That’s all you need… Really! *Shimmer Paint is acid free and perfect for porous surfaces such as paper, fabric and wood. Each bottle contains .5oz of fluid.
Take your shimmer paint, rubbing alcohol, and spray bottle and this is what you do.
Formula
• Remove spray head/straw of mini mister from bottle, and set aside.
• Fill Mini Mister to 1/4” below the screw-threads of the bottle with rubbing alcohol. (depends on how big you bottle is)
• SHAKE shimmer paint vigorously to ensure it is well mixed.
• Carefully remove the lid of the shimmer paint and set aside
• DIP the spray head straw end into the shimmer paint and scrape excess paint off along the top inside edge of the mini mister bottle… it’s ok if it just sticks to the upper part. Rotate to get all the paint off the straw. Or use an eye dropper to put the required amount.
• Repeat the last dipping, scraping action 4 more times.
• Insert spray nozzle into the Mini Mister, make sure it is on tightly and that the cap is in place.
• Replace lid on shimmer paint, and set aside
• Shake the filled mini mister vigorously to ensure it is well mixed.
• Place your cardstock on a paper protected surface and spray with the mist.
• The paper will curl when wet… but will relax and flatten when dry.
• Store the mini mister in a vertical position.
• The paint will settle/separate from the rubbing alcohol after a few moments… you can view the paint color on the bottom of the bottle. Simply shake to reactivate and make sure there is no paint in the bottom before spraying!
Now have some fun putting shimmer on your cards, pages and more.
