[quote="zanettac"] When I shake my bottle I notice the inside of the cap...gets all purple (thats the color I have)...so when I spray it's kinda all wet..is that normal?

[/quote]
Sometimes the bottles leak a bit. That is the only negative to working with these that I have found so far. I keep plenty of paper towels nearby when I use this stuff.

I'm here too. Thanks for the class! I just got a couple bottles and have only used one once, because I'm not too sure what to do with it.

Have you tried stamping on it ~~~ like before you spray on the glimmer mist?

I just sprayed some primas!

None of mine leak when I shake them. Good thing too because I usually do it with the cap off!

Sorry, my puter is starting to freeze and run really slow.

I have tried it on the Queen & Co felt fusion and was happy with the results. It changes the color of the felt (I used white) but the shimmery effect isn't the same. There was a blog entry on Queen &Co's blog recently on using Glimmer Mist with their felt.

Check here.

[quote="these_days"] I completed a card, do we do 2 more projects?

[/quote]Here are the directions for the cards:

Blue and Orange Thank You Card

I used the Crate Sweet Branch's Cherish PP. I flipped it over to the neutral backside. I cut one piece that was 7"wide by 12" in length. I then made a second cut to produce 2 pieces- one that was 2"x7" and 7"x10".

I sprayed the piece that was 7" x 10" with the Peach Delight Glimmer Mist:

Let it dry completely then fold in half to produce a card that is 5"x 7". Add the strip of pp that is 2"x7". I finished the card by stitching, adding the flowers we colored earlier with brads and adding the Thank You chipboard. Refer to the finished card for product placement.

Nancy, photos don't do it justice. It is much better IRL!!

M'Lee, check my answer I just posted for Ronny about the spots. More GM would definitely warp your paper. Try spreading it around while wet before spraying more.

pjw · Post by **pjw** » Sat May 03, 2008 10:07 pm

yeah, my post with the question about stamping is poof!

Have you tried stamping an image then spraying glimmer mist on it? I just wondered if it ran the ink used.

Brandon must be switching us over to the new server.

MLee · Post by **MLee** » Sat May 03, 2008 10:09 pm

Thanks!
Ronny - totally OT but what type of stitching did you use on your card?

Beth-W · Post by **Beth-W** » Sat May 03, 2008 10:10 pm

I posted about felt and it was lost. I tried it on the Queen & Co felt fusion. It does soak up the spray but you can change the color of felt. It takes longer to dry (more spray= longer drying time.) Check Queen & Co's blog for their entry on using GM on their felt here. Very cool tips and techniques.

MLee · Post by **MLee** » Sat May 03, 2008 10:10 pm

I'm not Beth but I did spray it on pigment ink and the ink got a little drippy. If it were me I would make sure I used a dye ink. But it could just be that I'm a drippy kind of stamper to begin with.

Beth-W · Post by **Beth-W** » Sat May 03, 2008 10:11 pm

Here is more of the projects. I don't think I will have time to post all of the steps and stay while you guys do them ( I have the next shift and bingo coming up at 11pm) but I will stay and answer all of your questions.

LOL you are not a drippy stamper, I'm sure.

I wonder how it would work with StazOn? [/quote]

Cool beans about the felt. I have learned so much Beth. I've been sticking with just the colors that I would normally use for distressing, not venturing out into the prettier colors. Now I'm going for more variety so I can do more with them! They really are fantastic!

scrappinchic · Post by **scrappinchic** » Sat May 03, 2008 10:13 pm

OK, I thought I was losing my mind. I sent a post and went back to look at Beth's card and poof both were gone.

I just tried spaying it on Q&Co. felt. It went on a little spotty even with rubbing it in but it definetly changed the color!

I have tried using it over a card with stamping and heat embossing.

I am scanning my card that I experimented with now. It didn't turn out perfect and I knew the class was running long, so I didn't include it. But, I will share it with you now.

THanks beth. Lots of good info. I will have to get some of this and try it.
