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!

Learn How to Water Color a Halloween Card with Fireworks Shimmery Craft Spray

Posted on by

by Jowilna Nolte

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a gorgeous embossed Spider Web theme background using Fireworks sprays. One of my favorite techniques with Fireworks is to remove the lid and use the ink as a watercolor. First I stamp a grungy bird with VersaFine Clair. Since VersaFine is an oil-based ink, the stamped area will not lift when water-based inks are applied. This is an important feature to understand about VersaFine.

Hope you enjoyed this quick lesson. Create your own variation to make cards, Halloween decor, Fall, and other festive holiday crafts. Combining orange, purple, and black ink with a touch of gold creates a stunning end result.
