Hello everyone and happy Halloween!!! Treat or trick? How about a treat?
I haven't post a tutorial for a long time, so today I am going to do a little tutorial post showing you how I made my own shimmery mist. I used it to spray flowers to add a little shiny effect on them. You can spray them with chipboard and paper as well. Remember the mini circle easel card on my last post with a distressing crackle paint. I sprayed the mist on it as well as glossy accent. I think it's a cool material.
So here is a sample of a purple mist I made. I used it to spray this white flower. You can still see the white part behind it.

So here is a sample of a purple mist I made. I used it to spray this white flower. You can still see the white part behind it.
First you will need some LuminArte polish pigments powder (if you don't have it, I am sure any pigment powder will work) , some water and a spray bottle. On this tutorial, I picked the purple color one on the very left.
Step one - scoop small amount of pigment powder into the empty spray bottle. As you can see this scoop is so mini, so for this small scoop, I put about 3 or 4 scoops into the bottle.
Then fill the bottle up with water (because this is pigment powder, I suggest you to wear a thin plastic gloves, otherwise, your hands are going to look like my dirty fingers on this pictures. The purple on my hands didn't go away for over a week, yikes.
Close it and shake it to mix the powder and water. It's THAT SIMPLE. Now you are ready to spray them with whatever you want.
Here is the shiny flower sprayed with this mist. Is it cool? If you want it extra shiny, you can add more glitter/stickles around the edge of these petals.
Ok, thank you so much for stopping by. Hope you like it and have fun trying them out. You can save some money from buying craft supplies now :o)
