Glimmer Mist Kit & Tips

Tips for Using Glimmer Mist:
  • Prior to using gently shake or swirl to get all the glitter off the bottom
  • Put something underneath the items you are spraying -an old cookie tray works great!
  • Works best on porous items such as paper, chipboard or grungeboard
  • Great for ribbon and paper or fabric flowers
  • Create custom Canvas Wall Hangings
  • If you want to stamp an image with water-based ink - stamp it AFTER you glimmer mist the paper. (Not that I know this from experience...but it will make water-based ink run)
  • Try using the Glimmer Screens to make designs on paper or canvas. They can be used as a positive or negative design. If you want to use the positive then you spray the glimmer mist on the screen and use it as a stamp.
How to Use Glimmer Mist:
If you want a "fine" coating then hold the bottle at least 5 inches away from the object. If you would like a "splotchy" look then keep the bottle close to your object when you spray it. You can also layer the glimmer mist colors to get different affects. The Glimmer Mist will dry fairly quickly on chipboard and paper, but if you need to speed up the process you can use a heat gun to give a little assistance. Once dry the item will have a slight shimmer which just adds a nice little accent to your page.
