I taught this technique at my Stamp Class on Friday night. I did this with Lumiere when SU carried it, but haven’t been able to since it was no longer in the catalog. Then I got the Shimmer Paint and thought I’d try it. I am very happy with the results and so were my customers!

Nice and shimmery!
Pretty! Looks like a fun technique I need to try. I love how you used to different texture plates on your RR and CC panels. TFS!
Love this Nan. I will have to try this.
Ooooo don’t have the shimmer paint yet, but what a great idea to do the faux mother of pearl with it!! I still have a bit of lumiere and pull it out now and then just for me. I always liked the MOP tech.
