Glimmer Mist

Love it or hate it?

When I got my first bottle I wasn't too thrilled with the product, but once I learned how to use it right... I became an addict. I have so many bottles now. My friend and i don't order the same colors and just share when we need a certain color. Even though we share I keep buying more!!

What are your favorite ways to use glimmer mist?

I like creating my own background paper using masks or just spritzing more than one color on at a time. I also have found using an eyedropper to add the colors creates a cool effect!

I only have one bottle because I can't get it around here and can't order it on-line right now. Unfortunately, the color is not one that I use a lot, so I've only played with it a little. I do like it though and would LOVE to try more colors!

I've used it for adding shimmer to a few fall cards last year & also to sprits some lace.

i haven't used it yet but i've been wanting too. i will get some with my next online order.

I have played with it in the st ore but not actually tried to use it on a lo. I have a friend who likes it (Diana). I would love to see some projects with it.

I have a few bottles, but only used them a few time. Couldn't ever get the hang of it.

i love it but like Maya Mist better because it's not so much water based on Glimmer Mist.

however, i demo-ed Glimmer Mist at a scrap event this past weekend. they are peeks on my blog & i'll post full pics of the make & take this week. i picked up some of the new colors - Cinder, Pumpkin Pie, and Olive Vine. so many colors & LOVE them all!!!

I love it! I've used it as background on my layouts, and I've also used it on actual photos on the edges. I sprayed it on a cosmetic sponge and sponged it on the edges of my photos.

I'd love to see that!

I've never used any, but a Maya Mist is in the post on its way to me as we speak! It's my first mist so I'm a bit nervous about how to use it...any tips?

I love using an eyedropper to apply it. I think that's my new favorite technique. Test it out on some scraps first at different distance, it sprays different depending on how far away you are from the project.

LOVE Glimmer Mist. I prefer glimmer mist over the maya ones because I love the shimmer it adds to a product. I have used it on chipboard, prima flowers, also recently used a mask with paint and then glimmer mist on top.

The first bottle I bought is about half empty so yeah I LOVE it!!! Its so easy to use ladies you just shake and spray there really is nothing to be afraid of.

Glad I could help you get over your fear.

I like it but forget about it! lol I like it on chipboard the best.

In reorganizing my scraproom this week I've moved all my GM from the container it's outgrowing to the shelf. I should take a picture of it so you can see how sick addicted I am. LOL

o.k kimmy....i gotta see it. post when you can....show me the GM...
I got to test it out at the retreat this wkend...it was pretty darn neat....now i need it...lol

I'll take a picture just for you Lora!

I don't have any but for a contest I was in I needed some - I ended up buying some cake decorating icing spray - it works great and I love the color - LOL!

That's interesting. I wouldn't have thought of using that!

i know.....that is good improvising...

I've used it a bit. Chipboard is probably my fav way of using it. I'll see if I can find an example.



This one I used a mask:

Put whatever you are spraying on scrap paper to catch any overspray.

i LOVE Glimmer Mist. I have 7 or 8 bottles now but am hoping to get some more soon! I was not a fan until I got some. It can be a bit intimidating. It's SOOOO fun! I have done a few layouts with it, I will post them in my album so you can see. But here is one of my favorites

i like this page...neato mosquito how you used the GM

I have several bottles and at first I was overwhelmed by it but now that I've used it some, I'm liking it....... I don't use it all the time and I have the stencils that really help. What I found out a few weeks ago is that it can REALLY come in handy with school projects........ For my son's 10th grade History project we had to "tea stain" a paper and make it look really old..... as a final touch I threw in a spritz of Glimmer Mist on it and it gave it such an amazing look.... He got a 95 score on it also!!!
