I’ve been into glitter, shine, and bling more and more. If you know me then you know I am not a “girly girl” by any stretch of the imagination! LOL But recently I find I am just loving glitter and all things S-H-I-N-Y on my pages.

After checking out my paper I determined which colors were in my project and found Glimmer Mist from my stash in similar shades. The cool thing about Glimmer Mist is even if the Mist is the wrong shade (Jazz Blue was wayyyy too bright for the project I was doing) you can mix the colors to tone it down or brighten it up. I also found that my flowers don’t have to be the right color either–just change the shade of the flowers with Glimmer Mist. Here are the supplies you’ll need:

If you are going to make flowers that are several different colors, set them out in groups.

You’ll want to make sure you mix your Glimmer Mist well before spraying onto your project — swirl the bottle in a circular motion or from side to side like a bell. This minimizes bubbles in the bottle (not really a problem for this project) and helps avoid clogging the sprayer. These little sparkly bits collect in the bottom of the bottle when it is just sitting.

Make sure the little sparkly bits are not stuck to the bottom of the bottle — if the bottom of the bottle is clean then you know you’ve swirled it up enough. This is what the bottom of the bottle should look like once your mist is mixed:

Just a side note, I didn’t really realize I was paying such drastically different prices for Glimmer Mist! LOL The prices on the bottles I’ve purchased range from $6.99 to $8.49. Just FYI when you are shopping around, look at the price ;)

Here is what it looked like after I sprayed the flowers in groups. I used Tiger Lily (orange), Jazz Blue (turquoise) and Pink Bubblegum (pink) colors. All of these are wayyyyyyyyy too bright at this point for my heritage style page.



So I hit the edges of the flowers with some Coffee Shop (brown) and Gingerbread (a little lighter brown):

I sprayed the pink ones with Tiger Lily (orange):

And then I did some Gingerbread (brown) over top of that:

Let the flowers dry for about 15 minutes on a warm day. You can also use a heat gun to dry them. After they are dry, add them to a page! I actually used these flowers on the same page I used my glittered brads on:

Here are a few more pages featuring Glimmer Misted flowers:

Enjoy ;)
