Shimmer Paint

One of the new items in the Holiday Catalog is the Shimmer Paint!  I love this stuff!  I mix it with rubbing alcohol in a small spray bottle.  You spritz it on your card & get a nice little shimmer to the card.  We all love sparkle!  I have been asked how to mix it.  I hope you can tell from the picture below.
I fill the bottle a third to a half full (Depends on the size of the bottle how much I use.) of the rubbing alcohol.  Then add just a little of the Shimmer Paint.  If you look closely in the picture you can see how it is settled on the bottom.  Shake the bottle to see if it looks colored enough.  Shake it good before each use.

I put my cards in a cardboard box when I spray them.  This will keep it from getting everywhere!

July Cards

I just realized that I didn't post the cards we made at class in July.  Here they are---

This last picture is the Paper Pumpkin cards.  The class that I have at my house makes an extra card.  I usually have them use a Paper Pumpkin kit.  Everyone gets to "do their own thing".  Hope you enjoyed the cards!
