Wow! That’s really what my reaction was when I got out my Bright Copper Shimmer Paint. I’ve never used shimmer paint before and WOW! am I impressed! It’s so much fun and easy to use. I just poured a little out on a piece of wax paper – you could use a Silicon Craft Sheet, too – and used a Sponge Dauber to dab the the paint onto the Detailed Leaves die cut. And it dries very quickly too, something really important if you’re in the middle crafting and want to finish a project.
And that’s not all! I also used the die as a template to sponge the outline onto one of the muslin Santa’s Bags, found in the 2018 Holiday Catalog. Learn what important tip I learned while I was making these bags.
