Paint your Glimmer Paper!!!

I promised I'd show you how to color your Glimmer paper….

1. I put some reinker (Indigo Island) in a brad lid – you want to use a VERY dark color for this technique.

2. I sprayed my reinker with a couple squirts of rubbing alcohol.  I used rubbing alcohol because I'd heard from other demonstrators that there was a problem with this technique drying…and alcohol has drying agents.  You can try water if you want…I have a spritzer bottle of alcohol in my stamping dungeon, so it was convenient.

3. Use the large Aqua Painter to color your silver glimmer paper – I squeezed my Aqua Painter a little bit while I was painting with it too. 

4. Paint the entire piece (mine is 3" x 3").

5. I used a heat tool to dry the paint.  You can see how light it gets when you dry it.

Here's a view of the original Silver Glimmer paper and the painted piece.  It's soooo pretty!!!

And a close up of my card…

The dimensions for this gift card holder are 4-1/4" x 11".  Score at 2-3/4, 3-1/4, 3-3/4 & 7-3/8.  I use Mini Glue Dots to attach the gift card inside.

Here are some of the products I used for this project:
