Today, I am sharing two quick ways of using your Fireworks Shimmery Craft Sprays to create fun and vibrant backgrounds. These spray inks can be used on cards or even in your art journals, decorative tags, and more. The best part is that you won’t be wasting any of that precious inks used and the shimmer on the finished backgrounds is simply gorgeous.
I have limited space for craft supplies and am always looking for ways to get multiple uses out of a single supply. One way to accomplish this, for example, is to keep a stash of white paper flowers in different sizes and color them to match your project. This way, you don’t have to make room for multiple packages of pre-colored flowers. See how I create a Rose Gold Dragonfly theme gift tag using several of Imagine and Tsukineko inks.
