I had so much fun just playing and experimenting with my sprays.

The one on the left is the new Messy Marble image stamped in Versafine Clair Paradise over cardstock sprayed with Mindaro Shimmering Bliss Spray ... the right is Mindaro Shimmering Bliss sprayed on top of the same Paradise stamped Messy Marble image. Two different effects with the same products.

This is a card made with the right panel using the new Retirement Sentiment (notice I have retirement as an uphill adventure rather than downhill).

I stamped my sentiment on one of the sprayed borders of the paper.  Looks at this absolutely gorgeous all-over shimmer.

This card is made with the panel on the left and the new Mood Swings Sentiment.  By stamping on top of the spray, the ink stayed truer to its teal hue.

Don't you just love that Mood Swings sentiment ... super-fun (just click on over and add it to your cart now.  If you're logged into the website, your cart will be saved as you continue through the hop).

For the next two cards, I sprayed on top of the stamped image of the new Bubbles Background Stamp.  Here are a couple of the Bubbles images before & after spraying (the top one was stamped in blue ink and sprayed with Dolphin Cove Shimmering Bliss).

At first I thought the spray muted the Bubbles image too much ... but then after playing, I discovered it actually made the perfect background for stamping the new Never Stop Making Wishes Sentiment.

Again ... look at that gorgeous Shimmer.

I sprayed my Green Bubble Background with Mindaro Shimmering Bliss to get this super-fun effect.

Absolutely perfect background for the fun new Cartwheel stamp ... love the contrast of the black ink with that fun Bubble background.

I sprayed three different Shimmering Bliss Sprays on Cardstock ... holding the spray close to the paper as I sprayed to get gorgeous full coverage.

On the middle piece (Miami Vice) I sprayed several times and while it was wet pressed the paper into another pieces of cardstock to get the variation in color.

 

I stamped the Big Butterfly Collage on the Dolphin Cove Shimmering Bliss coated cardstock.

I stamped the new Light Remains Sentiment on the Mindaro Sprayed Cardstock (I love how the paper glows like a light) and then used the remainder of that cardstock piece on my card base.

Seriously ... you're going to want these sprays.  They have such intense color and shimmer I could play for days.

Your next stop on the hop is the talented Janelle Stollfus ... so much creative fun to see today.
