Enjoy these photos of the cards made in the video.
This jar from the Jar of Flowers stamp set looks like those Ball jars after swiping shimmer paint over it.
Add shimmer paint to alcohol in an Aqua Painter. Then”flick”the paint over the cardstock. As an alternative, mix the shimmer paint and alcohol in a cup and use a paint brush to flick.
Use a sponge dauber to add shimmer paint directly to your cardstock.
Add rubbing alcohol and some shimmer paint to a Wink of Stella brush that is pretty empty and “paint” your stamped image.
It will pull some of the color of the ink into the image.
With a sponge dauber, add the shimmer paint directly to your stamp with no other ink. Look what a pretty, soft “pearlized” image results.
