In this week of bling and all things shiny, I couldn’t let the week go by without playing with some Shimmer Paint. If you haven’t played with these sparkly paints yet, you’re going to love them!
I used the Bright Copper Shimmer Paint onmuslin Santa Bags earlier. Today, instead of using it to outline, I used it to paint an entire image in a shimmery frosty white effect. In essence, it gave a pearlized effect on top of the image. It’s hard to photograph shiny images, but this is absolutely beautiful in person.
I’ve got an order for Club going in today. Do you need anything? Let me know and I’ll be happy to add it to my order.
