Make Your Own Glimmer/Shimmer Mist Tutorial!

Erin told you it was on its way, and here it is! There are many videos out there on how to make your own, but I have a little twist in mine. Instead of using re-inkers, I use some good old fashion liquid food coloring drops (something a little more practical that you might be able to find in those cupboards). I'm not an expert on creating videos (this is just my second one), but I think you can get some good information out of it!



Now that I shared the tutorial with you, I thought I share a layout I just finished up (minus my journaling)using the mist I created in this video.

On this layout I misted 5 "blobs" of my green ink around where I was going to place my pictures. I also using my mist on the corrugated cardboard letters. I inked them with some peeled paint distressing ink, layed them in my cardboard box I use for misting, and sprayed them all with my mist until they were really covered. I then took a rag and soaked up all the puddles of mist left on the letters to leave a nice light green shimmer to the valleys of the letters.

Hope you all enjoyed the tutorial and layout. Don't forget about ou upcoming calls...A fabulous feature of Echo Park projects, cards and layouts with snowmen/snowflakes, and cards and layouts using boarder punches....stay tuned for more to come!
