I made my own glimmer mist

May 08, 2009 2 Replies

I experimented last night and made my own glimmer mist. so far I think it looks pretty cool. forgot to check it this morning to see what it looks like but lastnight it looked really good.



I went to Walmart and got some small travel bottles of hairspray. Just so happened to be Dove in 2 oz spray bottle. I added about 1/4 t +/- of Pearl Ex powdered pigments and shook real good. I sprayed it on my paper and got impatient for it to dry so I used my embossing heat gun. Looked very pretty. Can't wait to try other colors. The one I made was blue. The recipes/directions I read said to put some liquid watercolor or reinker but I didn't have any of that. I kinda liked the color with just the powdered pigments.



Anybody else tried this? What was your results?

Tammy you should take a picture of it so we can see it! I have heard of it but never seen it:-) Great idea to try it on your own!

Sounds like a good idea. Just wonder how the hairspray would hold up in an album. For a card though it really wouldn't matter. Just long enough for the receiver to enjoy it.
