Tint Your Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray

Posted on by

By LV Handcrafted

Skill: Beginner
Time: 5-10 minutes

Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). Did you know you can make an unlimited number of colors of Sheer Shimmer spray?  Add a bit of shimmer and shine to your favorite colors by mixing a bit of your Dye Ink Refill with Sheer Shimmer Spray – Sparkle!  Because the Sheer Shimmer Spray is translucent, you can easily tint it with any color.  Both the shimmer spray and the dye ink refill are water-based so they mix beautifully.  Adjust how much or how little dye to control how intense or how subtle of a color you’d like.  

I like to mix up each other in small misters and spray multiple colors to create fun backgrounds!

Painting Using Sheer Shimmer Craft Sprays

By LV Handcrafted

Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). Here’s a fun way to use Shimmer Sprays — paint with them!  Shimmer Sprays are translucent, but the gorgeous glitter in them shine beautifully on dark card stock! I used the Sparkle Sheer Shimmer spray, which paired perfectly with the Iridescent Opaque Mboss powder.  The combination of the two add a striking, sparkle to any card!

Faux Metal Embossed Tin Foil

Posted on by

By Nancy May

– I love it when I can incorporate everyday items from around the house in my craft room. Today we are paying with tin foil…aluminum foil…kitchen foil…whatever you might call it…We are going to repurpose basic tin foil into faux metal panels, emboss them with embossing folders and see which Imagine products will adhere to the foil to create that beautiful faux metal look. Then we will make a couple of beautiful cards
