One of Steph's not so secret addiction is Tattered Angels Products. What she loves the most about the product is the saturated colour that you can get by using the Glimmermists on your layouts. Here Steph has used Mimosa, Lemon Zest and Lime Twist to enhance the Autumn theme of the layout and the title "Grow". Steph has got an old piece of music sheet and crumbled it up into a small ball.
Once opened out flat she has sprayed the Glimmermist in light mists, in all the different autumn colours over her sheet. Then Steph used a paper towel to dab and mix the colours together, drying the Glimmermist as she goes... She then sprayed the Darker Mists into puddles and left them to dry. The effect of this is amazing. To finish off, Steph inked key areas and tears little bits of the edges just to give it that well worn look.
Next Steph coloured the Glimmerchips in the leaf shapes, leaving puddles to dry, so it looked like dried rain. She used the same process for the Glimmerchip Butterfly and Ornate Frame. The gorgeous trees were used using the Tattered Angels "Blossom" Stamps, stamped onto the course side of laser ink acetate. She used two techniques here. The green tree was sprayed Glimmermist so it puddled on the stamp.
She the used a wipe to wipe the edges around the stamp, and flicked any excess fluid onto a scrap piece of paper. When she stamped the orange tree, she used a Versa Cube ink and left to dry. You can see two very different images using the same stamp, one has a defined, crisp look, the other and watercolour feel to it.
The TA alphas were sprayed and then inked around the edges for depth.
It's no surprise that we have a lot of Nic Howard's projects in our Tattered Angels post, Nic discovered Glimmer Mist in the middle of last year and hasn't been able to stop using it since!
This layout was created on white cardstock. and was embellished with Glimmer Mist. Nic placed a glimmer screen on her page and then sprayed 'brick' coloured glimmer mist across the cardstock, lifted the glimmer screen carefully and a shadowed image was left behind.
She then sprayed the same glimmer screen with 'garden ivy' and used it as a stamp on her layout, leaving a green image. She repeated this technique on a spare piece of white cardstock and cut the image out, adhered across a photo and her layout was complete - aside from the title, which is also from Tattered Angels. So simple, yet so effective!
With exception of the black Rose Moka paper and the white cardstock, this layout is almost all Tattered Angels product. Nic used a Glimmer Screen as a stamp, creating a flourish image which she then cut out and adhered to her layout base. She added a shipping tag and hero arts flowers, which had both been glimmer misted, as well as a stamp from the Tattered Angels range. Nic finished her layout with some Glimmer Glass in the regal range , gorgeous pics of her son and niece and alphas to finish.
We thank Janine Koczwara for allowing us to share these three stunning examples of using Glimmer Mist to transform already beautiful pages into stunning ones.
And finally a little piece of Ngaire Bartlam fabulousness! Ngaire has Glimmer Misted over the top of a sheet of Heidi Swapp’s invisibles to create this wise and striking piece.
