Glimmer Mist Embossed Flower Stampin Up Kind and Caring Thoughts

Hello Friends! Wow, I actually finished this card. LOL! It took me a while because one, I've been seriously distracted and two, I was experimenting a bit with Glitter Mist. I recently bought a few bottles of Glimmer Mist. . .well, being me. . .I needed to get a few just because I've seen other people using them. Don't you just love how we can easily get sucked into buying stuff? I mean. . it's crazy. I need to stop this behavior.

There were only a few colors at my local scrapbook store so I just bought 3 bottles. I had no clue how to use them but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. It's basically some sort of solution with "pearl ex" or "mica" pigment mixed into it. Well, that's what I'm assuming it is because I've mixed reinkers, water, and mica pigment/powder . . basically, Pearl Ex or Perfect Pearls and honestly, the results are similar.

The color I used for this card was "Auburn" . I was hoping for a more "pinkish" tone but it's more of a burgundy tone. I added a bit of pinkish tone to it by dabbing SU Positively Pink ink on to the white areas of the card stock using a sponge.

I then stamped the image and heat embossed it white embossing powder. That's about it. I didn't brush off the stray embossing powder because I wanted a bit of white speckles to the background of the image. I'm not sure I'm going to buy any more colors of the Glitter Mist because I'm thinking I'm just going to come up with my own concoction. I have a ton of Pearl Ex and Perfect Pearl pigments . . .I'll play with a few different colors and see how it turns out.

Anyway. . .I'll end it here. . .I'm in the crafty mood so I better get my butt going before I find something else to distract me and well, when that happens. . .no crafty time.

Hope you all are having a wonderful Monday!!!!
