I have been scrapooking for years now, but one thing that helps keep it interesting is the fun new techniques and products that I get to play with. I like to get messy, create things, and feel a sense of accomplishment once my projects are complete. One product in particular gives me that wonderfully satisfied feeling and that is Glimmer Mist.

Tattered Angels generously donated two colors to complete today’s project: Lemon Zest and Golden Terracotta.

To complete today’s project you will need: Glimmer Mist in the colors of your choice, the pattern paper or cardstock you choose to use, a protective surface for your project (I use newspaper or a plastic tablecloth from the dollar store), and some sort of a mask. The mask can be a plastic template or “screen,” a vinyl die cut, a chipboard shape–really whatever you’d like to use as a mask will work well (including household items like keys or hands, etc.)–just know that whatever you use will need to be cleaned immediately afterwards.

Step 1: On a covered surface, place your cardstock/paper down and spray the Lemon Zest (or lighter color) across the cardstock. (Keep spray a few inches away–and test a scrap piece until you feel comfortable with the spray nozzle.)

Step 2: Place mask on cardstock.

Step 3: Use the Golden Terracotta (darker color) to spray across and around the mask.

NOTE: Before continuing with project, allow the sprayed area to dry.
