Glimmer Mist tips

So I saw these online and thought I would share them. They apply for Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist but I think they would be for the ones we sell in the store as well.

**when you are shaking the bottle kinda hold the top and swing the bottle backwards and frowards
**DON'T tip it upside down dont shake it too hard
**you want to make sure all the "sediment" is mixed through but take your time
**when you turn it upside down or shake too hard you get either air bubbles in the spray tube which with make it spurt rather than mist or the sediment will get blocked in the tube and you will have to buy a new pump top.
**if you use the gimmer masks after you spray and lift carefully you can use the mask as a stamp, the glimmer mist on top of the mask will act as ink, you just have to put it onto a sheet of paper and press down carefully, smooth cs works best
**you can colour your prima flowers with it to match the colour you can also use the left over on your mat on the edge of the flowers to get a two tone effect.
**if you want to get a marbled effect on a chipboard piece, pump on the two colours then pick it up and rock the shape till the colours merge.
**if you are using the gimmer mist chipoard shapes they are slightly embossed so once you spray them and let it try you can rub ink over the embossed bits to highlight them
**dont squirt the spray think of car painting and use even strokes of spray to get a "mist" effect.
