Today I decided to make a couple of background pages for layouts. I began by spraying 2 different colours of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist on a 8×8. (Juniper and Candy Apple Red)

spray the lighter colour first (red)

then spray in the juniper.

Now take another plain white 8×8 and put over top and rub your hand all over to blend. Do this over top of newspaper as you will squish stuff out and you don’t want to get your workspace all messy.

Now you have to let dry for a bit. If you are in a hurry, as I often am, I will keep the top page on the other one and iron them together. This will set them while keeping the most shimmer on the page.

Now I chose to use The Deck the Halls, ornament stamps. I picked one and stamped it repetitively all around the edges of the page. I didn’t focus on the middle as I knew that I had a 5×7 going in the middle.

then I sprayed the mist on some tags. Let dry. I always spray a few different colours at the same time, that way I can try a few different colour combos.

In this case I chose red. So then I took the stars off the same stamp set and stamped all over the tag, leaving room for a little journaling.

Now assemble!

I added gold ribbon to emphasize the glimmer mist tone.

I had fun going in and colouring parts of the ornaments with glitter glue and smooch. I of course finished off the page with journaling, Prima bling. thanks for checking it out.
