Shimmery Snowflakes

This was the first card I made using Stampin' Up!'s Shimmery Paint that's in the Holiday Mini. I used Champagne Mist shimmer paint on this one. I can't believe how fast this dries! When I originally bought it, I thought I would have to let it air dry for awhile, or try to dry it with my heat tool. When I used it, it dried instantly! I was amazed!

I've decided to have this be one of the cards that will be made at my upcoming Christmas Card Stamp-A-Stack II on Saturday, Novemer 7. To find out more about this event, please go to my EVENTS CALENDAR.

I applied the shimmer paint directly to the stamp using a sponge dauber. Then, all I did was stamp it on. That's it! The closeup shows the shimmer a little better, but it still doesn't do it justice. It's so shimmery in real life. I really love this stuff!
