ANOTHER way to use the Shimmer Paint!!!! Spray it!!!

Glenda, at Founder's had a beautiful swap card that had Handsome Hunter shimmer paint!  Well, she's one SMART COOKIE!!!  She developed a little recipe on using the Shimmer Paint (in the Holiday Mini catalogue) and Rubbing Alcohol to make a Shimmer Spray Paint!!!!  Isn't she just too smart!?!?  So, I decided to make Bashful Blue shimmery paper for this project.  Now I know it's tough to see in this photo, but it really is sparkly and beautiful!  It actually is just as shimmery, if not more shimmery than the shimmer white cardstock (that the snowman and greeting are stamped on!!!)  Check out the video for all the tips and tricks!

• Bashful Blue Cardstock (12 x 5) 106535

Paint only clean, dry surfaces. Ordinary household detergents or mineral spirits are great for most surface cleaning.

Great video Heather, I love the box as well - I think my favourite - so versatile!! This method of glittering paper is amazing and it doesn't take much!! Had great fun trying it out today - thank you!

Loved the video Heather I too am going to order the shimmer paint. Any ideas about the proper mist bottle to use? I have also ordered the Fancy Box Die. What a great thank you gift for a workshop! Many thanks

Great demonstration Heather! I've been holding off ordering the shimmer paint because I could not decide what color to order. It looks like Champagne is lovely. Thanks for sharing!

Oh!! I DID enjoy your video. I need to get some of that shimmer paint. It showed up beautifully on my screen and I MUST have some. Thanks so much, Heather, your videos are always very inspiring and easy to follow.
