Product of the Month

SHIMMER PAINT! These items are featured in the Holiday Mini Catalogue, and come in 3 different shades - Champagne Mist, Platinum and Frost White.
Champagne Mist is a very delicate bronze-ish shimmery paint.
Platinum is fairly opaque and is similar in appearance to the silver Encore ink - differences - the shimmer paint is slightly more (ahem) shimmery...and doesn't take as long to dry as Encore, in my experience.
Frost White is a shimmery white, not as opaque as platinum.
What can you do with them?
1) Stamp with them - simply shake the bottle, remove the cap, and then use a sponge dauber to pick up the paint from the inside of the cap, and apply directly to your stamps. You can do this on top of an already inked stamp as well, to add shimmer to your coloured images. (Soft suede with the bronze shimmer paint is lovely)
2) Paint with them - use a small brush to apply the shimmer paint directly to images or to the raised portions of your dry embossed images.
3) Create coloured, shimmery paints - add a few drops of reinker to a few drops of frost white shimmer paint to create tinted shimmer paints, then stamp or paint with them as above!
4) Spray with them - add a few drops of shimmer paint to some rubbing alcohol in a little spray bottle to create shimmer spray! Great for backgrounds and to add a subtle shine to your projects.
These paints dry quickly - a great advantage when stamping & creating (especially if you tend to be a bit impatient...like me!) Fall Stamp a stack participants noticed this, despite being slowed by the fact that I'd only brought one sponge dauber....live and learn...promise to bring more daubers next time I use the shimmer paint at a larger scale event!
PS - my latest blog post features a sample with the shimmer paint, though it's a bit hard to see...and you'll see another sample in Week 2 of the 12 Weeks of Christmas email!
