Fantastic idea, going to make some ASAP! Btw you can buy ground coloured mica powder that’s used in makeup on Aliexpress very cheaply in larger amounts than in eyeshadow pots, in amazing colours. I’ve used it to make shimmer paint very successfully. You can also buy the small metal balls that are put in nail polish to mix it that if you add to your spray makes it much easier to mix and distribute the mica powder. I add them to all my home made sprays. 3-4mm glass beads work well too. I love making my own supplies, so much cheaper too!
Will certainly have to have a go at this. The mint colour looks beautiful. Thank so much for sharing. Learn something new everyday from your videos. 🤗🤗
You probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
Ann, Thanks so much for sharing this. I plan to get the stuff and make some. I saw this on one of your newer videos where you were showing the foiling with the laminator and spraying the shimmer on your card. Love your videos. Thanks for all you do!
This was perfect for me. I bought a bunch of colors of shimmer mist, they were closing out and I have all colors. You can also stamp with versamark and brush this on top with any eye shadow brush. I had never heard to mix alcohol though, just water. However this makes loads if sense. I need to fill an aqua painter with several colors and use it like wink of Stella on flowers and such on cards. Thanks so much Ann. 😍
Thank you for sharing Ann it is so beautiful. I suppose you can put some in the wink of Stella pen to refill them when empty instead of putting them in the bin
I have some Luster Dust, a product used for cake decorating...going to turn it into this, because I do cold porcelain flowers, not cake...and I can use this for the flowers to give that 'live shimmer' for them when not making cards. I wish I had known about this idea 3 years ago when I started using the Luster Dust, I wouldn't have wasted so much - a lot is lost when using a brush and the dry powder...Blessings and Thanks!
Hi Ann, I've been doing this for 18 months now, so much cheaper than buying ready made, I've never used hairspray tho! I use a mix of alcohol and water about 3/4 alcohol to 1/4 water, and glycerin and gum arabic that artists use, I've also refilled Wink of Stella and other brands of pens adding a tiny bit of microfine holographic glitter. Only problem with water is it can buckle your paper!! Smell is the worse bit lol
Hi Ann thank you for this I have a bunch of old eyeshadow one is broken up. Wonder if you use color card stock it would show better my white one smiles. TFS
Do you think if I used clear guilding paste and added eyeshadow it would work? Nice to see a fellow Geordie crafting and beautiful sprays nice way to recycle old makeup :)
@@12lesflo of you could use a paintbrush and dip it into the liquid. You could also put a few drops of it on a glass mat or stamping block and use the brush that way.
Hi sorry to the owner of this video but I would love the answer to my question answered. There are a few of us that would like to know. Thank you so much.
Toni Shimmer&Sparkle yes of course, it's just so it makes the liquid have a bit sticky in so the shimmer sticks to your project. I didn't realize I had bought gel spray haha but hey it works a treat xx
These are beautiful! I am not sure of the name of the eye shadows you used would you mind spelling it out for me? I would love to try the jade one especially! I bet all of the colors in that brand would come out fabulously! Thanks! Blessings! Lee
Thanks for this. I picked up a pixie shimmer power in error. I want wanted a spray, I’m going to try doing this with it. I’m also wondering if anyone has tried it with pixie shimmers.
You would just put a few drops in instead of the hairspray. To be honest I don't like using glossy accents, it keeps blogging the spray up. Hairspray is much better, it never blocks up x
Perfect pearls has something called Gum Arabic added to it, which is the ingredient used in watercolor to make the pigment stick to the paper. It can be bought from most Art shops and suppliers. Acrylic medium, gel, Tim Holtz distress mat medium or good old PVA glue are alternatives that all work well.
I'm admitting to ignorance here. What's the difference between rubbing alcohol and surgical spirit? I know that the latter smells awful, does the other? Where do you buy rubbing alcohol? Chemist? Hardware store? Pound shop? Off license?! ;). Love the idea, seen similar in craft shops for £6+ a bottle, so much savings to be made!
Pam Holloway I got a large bottle off ebay but im new to card making just lerning i got rubbiing alcohol to make my own makeup snd creams that is why i asked thought it would do the same and yes you get alot more rubbing alcohol for your money you pay the same for a small surgical spirit
Alcohol is much cheaper than surgical spirits, especially if you buy from eBay. Best to buy 99% if you can. I use it to make my own alcohol inks. Made my own shimmer sprays using mica powder, but it clogs the spray mechanism. When you shake to mix, make sure you do circular movements with the bottle, not up and down...this helps.
Sheryl Carman try adding a 3-4mm glass bead to the bottle, it makes quite a difference. You can also buy metal nail polish mixing balls on AliExpress which are very effective.

Dollar Tree have them
Fab 💕😜
Wow they are fantastic. Tfs. I have all the tackle apart from the spray bottles and the tool that you used, Im off to ebay lol, They are gorgeous xx
Now I know what to do with all my powder eyeshadow that I dnt use anymore thank you
Wow what a fab idea, I've got loads of Barry M eyeshadow xx
EffiAnn Cards you will have to let me no what you think Hun xx
Positively Papercraft Yeah I will do, just need to pick up some hair spray 1st as I've got everything else in xx
So pretty and easy. Eyeshadow is finely ground mica flakes. A more subtle look than glitter.

Thanks for sharing, love it! What's the glossy accents for? And can we use shimmery paste from SU as well? Greetings from Germany
I'm going to have a go
Thanks so much for sharing! Can't wait to make a few! Blessings from Canada! Would powder pearl work?
How much of the glassy accents do you use as I have a problem with scents? Lovely tutorial
I bet the Pearl Ex powders would be marvelous for this also.
What a great Tip!!! Gonna try this for sure! Thanks for sharing
Do you think if I used clear guilding paste and added eyeshadow it would work?
Nice to see a fellow Geordie crafting and beautiful sprays nice way to recycle old makeup :)
Wonder if this spray that is alcohol based would make memento ink and alcohol based markers run if sprayed over the top of a finished piece?
Carol Love it didn't when I tried it, I even sprayed mine over water based ink and it didn't run
Great idea! What size spray bottle did you use - .5 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz ...? Thanks for sharing!
That's awesome Ann!!! Thank you so much for sharing! Will have to hunt down the Aussie equivilant but I'm sure I can find what I need. Thank you!
Awesome. Love it. Here in Quebec we do not have something called surgical spirits. Is this just regular rubbing alcohol?
You can switch SS for RA; she said that in another video she made. Nicole from Ontario, Canada
Hmm, this is fab! Wonder if I could use this in a waterbrush? To make a similar kind of wink of Stella pen?
Great idea, give it a whirl xx
Did it work for you as a wink of Stella? So curious. Let us know.
@@12lesflo of you could use a paintbrush and dip it into the liquid. You could also put a few drops of it on a glass mat or stamping block and use the brush that way.
great idea! thank you for sharing. what is the name of that metal tool you are using as your scoop? Thank you!
So how much glossy accent do we need to put if we do not have hair spray? Can’t wait to try it. Yay!
Hi sorry to the owner of this video but I would love the answer to my question answered. There are a few of us that would like to know. Thank you so much.
Brilliant idea Ann just one thing I don't like the smell of the surgical sports. Although I did try it and it's lovely and shimmy x
Yes its a strong smell. Just use Isopropyl alcohol instead, much less smell if any at all xx
Fab idea can’t wait to try this thank you .Would aerosol hairspray work too ?? As I see you used gel spray ? Xx
Toni Shimmer&Sparkle yes of course, it's just so it makes the liquid have a bit sticky in so the shimmer sticks to your project. I didn't realize I had bought gel spray haha but hey it works a treat xx
Positively Papercraft thank you for taking the time to reply I shall give this a go in the morning x
What a great idea Ann. Thank you for showing. A question ... how much % have the alcohol you need?
Nicola Bauer At least 70% xx
These are beautiful! I am not sure of the name of the eye shadows you used would you mind spelling it out for me? I would love to try the jade one especially! I bet all of the colors in that brand would come out fabulously! Thanks! Blessings! Lee
Yes i used Barry M eyeshadow You can get them online xx
Does this rub off if you rub your hand over the paper?
Not if you use the Hairspray, thats what its for
Can you use rubbing alcohol?
Hello from Switzerland 🙋♀️
Great thing 👍👍👍
How mutch glossy accent ?
Would this work on fabrics
Great idea Ann! What did you do with the glossy accents please? xx
I was wondering the same thing
I think you could use hair spray or glossy accents, whichever you prefer.
Glossy accents acts like the glue to stick on paper this why she used hair spray so it will stick.
Marie I know why Ann used the hair spray, but didn't catch in the vt that you could use hair spray OR glossy accents, missed that bit!
Yes thats right Fran, i prefer the Hairspray xx
Thanks for this. I picked up a pixie shimmer power in error. I want wanted a spray, I’m going to try doing this with it. I’m also wondering if anyone has tried it with pixie shimmers.
I bet it will look beautiful if sprayed on the paper before using the embossing folders. In the US the Dollar Tree sells the powdered eye shadow.
Almedia Seal oh yes what a fab idea!! Xx
Almedia Seal
Thank you for the Dollar Tree tip, was wondering about finding it.
❤❤
How do you make it with the glossy accents? I don't have any hair spray.
You would just put a few drops in instead of the hairspray. To be honest I don't like using glossy accents, it keeps blogging the spray up. Hairspray is much better, it never blocks up x
@@PositivelyPapercraft ohhh That's good to know! Thank you!
You can get the same effect with perfect pearls in water. The water is enough to set the pearls so that it doesn't rub off.
Yes you can xx
Jane Rushton
Please tell us how you make it using perfect pearls.
Perfect pearls has something called Gum Arabic added to it, which is the ingredient used in watercolor to make the pigment stick to the paper. It can be bought from most Art shops and suppliers.

Hey Ann Can I use it on my body? Lucy from Cameroon
If you were to approximate in teaspoons, how much of the powder would you be using Ann?
1 Teaspoon x
@@PositivelyPapercraft Thank you :)
Could you use rubbing alcohol instead of surgical spirits they look gorgeous
Yes of course you can xx

Can you use pigments
Please tell me how you make this using Liquid Pearls?
Its perfect pearls not liquid pearls. Perfect pearls is powder like eyeshadow xx
I made it like you with the hair spray but after it drys it rubs off What An I doing wrong?
Did you put in the alcohol?
Great tutorial...I've made one and love it....where did you get your tool....need that for sure...tfs
Gloria Westerman It's a nail tool, it's for your cuticles lol. Glad you like the spray xx
Gloria Westerman I got it from eBay xx
Wow Ann, I’m definitely going to have a go at making this, thank you for sharing 😍
dawn brady you are very welcome xx
