This week at work we are celebrating Administrative Professional Day. I create these candy pouches for the staff. The 3-D flowers are made using either the scallop circle punch or the 5-petal punch from SU. I loved how they turned out. The butterfly were made by first crimping the paper and then punching out the butterfly using the SU punch. Leaves is one 5-petal flower cut in half. You will notice a simmer on the flowers. The recipe is below.Shimmer Spray Dirctions
1 small trial size hair spray
3-4 tsp of (Pearl White) pearl ex powder (add to get the effect you want)
Add the pearl ex powder to the hair spray and shake the two ingredients together. Spray your paper this will put a shimmer onto the cardstock. The powder will not rub off and the alcohol will disappear quickly leaving a beautiful product. I have several of these made up using different colors of pearl ex powders.
Here's another technique using Pearl Ex powders by SCS called "Pearl Ex™ - Melted Pearls"
Lovely gifts and thanks for the recipe!
