I love GlimmerMist, it's my favourite Tattered Angels product. I have dozens of bottles in varying colours and I generally keep them in a few large baskets. Every now and then Abby groups them in colours for me, but generally they are a jumbled group of organised chaos. Kind of like my scraproom.
Whilst my tip today isn't about how to organise your bottles of GlimmerMist, it's even better, it's how to remember your favourite combos of colours. You knew you could combine them, right?
This photo is of two of my favourite colours, Tuscan Sun and SWAK. Look what happens when these two colours mix, they become even more amazing.
Because I constantly create mixed media pieces where I mix and match my favourite GlimmerMist colours, I really want to remember my favourite combos, so I create little swatch cards as I discover them.
I have a stash of small white cardstock cards (made from scraps as I get them). As I decide I love a combo, I spray one end with one colour, then the other end of the card with the other colour, and let them mix in the middle and leave to dry.
It's a fabulous way to get a visual on how the colours mix and because the colours are at opposite ends of the card, you can get a range of possibilities in front of you… I have repeated this with all my favourite colours, which reminds me, this post wouldn't be complete without showing my favourite teal card, now would it?
