Many of you have asked for the resource for this fun holder – sadly the manufacturer has discontinued them. We have found them on Amazon, Ebay, Tooters and LCMB a chemical supply company.

If you want to shop around a little do a google search of Test Tube Holders, Test Tube Shots (no judging!!). There were lots of variations out there. I wanted a clear one and one I could embellish!

TODAY’s Spritzer Sample and Tip Features How to make your own Shimmer/Glimmer Mist! 

SHIMMER MIST – As with any combination – the key is experimentation there is no “exact” recipe. It’s like seasoning when you cook – season to taste!

1. Fill Stampin’ Spritzer with Rubbing Alcohol 3/4 full
2. Shake your Shimmer paint to make sure it’s thoroughly mixed
3. Remove cap and slowly add a little Shimmer Paint to your Stampin’ Spritzer (remember you can always add more)
4. Shake Stampin’ Spritzer – test on scrap piece of cardstock – if happy YEAH! – if not add more shimmer paint until you are 🙂
5. Store vertically and remember to shake before use as the heavier Shimmer Paint Settles.

SPRITZER TIPS
1. Practice – it has a very powerful “squirt” so practice with pressure and practice with how close to the cardstock/project to hold it. The further away the finer the mist
2. I noticed the shimmer mixture seemed heavy compared to just reinker and water and was more likely to do a bird poop imitation on my paper when held too close 🙂
3. Don’t just use on cardstock. For my bottle tag I sprayed direct to the stamp as the only “ink” on the stamp and then stamped my image
