Glimmer mist?

[Spinning]

Ok so who has it and do you use it? I finally went to a scrapbook store yesterday! All the stores near me have closed....but I was headed home from my DD dive meet and new of one in Quakertown so we had to stop....
Wasn't overly impressed don't get me wrong lots of nice stuff, but it use to be in the past scrapbook stores had all the stuff I couldn't find at Mike's or Jo's....can't say that was the case....
anyway back in the very corner near the cat's eye chalk was this glimmer mist...... It just looked so neat.....at first I had several in my hands. Then I settled on one color.
I have a feeling I will be kicking myself that i didn't get the perl mist....

I have it and don't like it. It may be operator error though. It is a spray, so you need to control it well. I seem to get too much in one place, not enough elsewhere. Also, the paper curled.

I'd love to hear from those who have used it successfully.

I have a different spray- similar to glimmer mist but it is made by a different company and came out before glimmer mist. I don't use it to often but I like the effect. If I have a paper I want the color of but I don't feel it is as nice a paper as I want sometimes I will use it. I find it does work well but if I want a real even layer then I need to be careful. I generally find that it is more even if I have someone to help me and I spray while they move the paper/item but that gets messy. I always use it outside.

I do like the effect it gives. I was thinking about using it on some of my mats for my Feb spot in the Calander swap. I also like for Chirstmas layering the red glimmer on green paper and vice versa.

It does curl up the paper until it dries and then if I leave it under a heavy book (we have tons of them since DH is in seminary) and it flattens out in a about an hour.

I have glimmer mists and love them. I use them to spray a little on my snowflakes to give them extra sparkle. I have used them on chipboard books when I want to give the covers that extra glitz. I have even used them on actual photos. What I do is put a little repostionable adhesive on the back of whetever it is i want to spray and place it on newspaper or scrap paper. I try spraying the bottle a couple times first then lightly mist whatever it is I am glimmering. Then I will hold my heat gun about 8-9 inches away and dry for a few seconds. Good luck! and Have Fun!

I have the pearl. I have not used it that often, but I do like it. I've used it on chipboard.

I love Glimmer Mist! I use it a lot on my grunge board but you can also use it on chipboard and spray it on pages.

I'm not feeling the love. Maybe I need to play with it more, I'm probably using it wrong. I do love the look, just not my look.

I took Sally Lynn's Glimmer Mist class at SDV and that was the first time I heard of it. She used stencils with it and it created a great effect. Like put the stencil down on the paper, spray the glimmer mist, so it leaves the imprint on the paper. She also used it to spray fibers and Prima's to give them a little something extra. We made a chipboard castle book.

The way she described spraying it was like they spray you with perfume in department stores: you spray the air and walk into the mist. Don't spray directly onto the paper, spray the air above it and let the mist fall down on the paper. If you spray the paper directly it makes the blotches and gets everything really wet and gross.

Her blog has some good examples on it: http://www.inkyheart.typepad.com/
