Hello everyone from Mandy popping in to say I count myself lucky to have been able to attend the Mistified event a few weeks ago. Getting to see Wendy and Heidi up close playing with the product and lots of tips was great value. Can recommend when the Glimmer Mist show is in town it will be something you want to see for yourself.

One of the workshop test drive pages used lace as a mist mat and shows an example of what Wendy and Heidi talked about working in layers. The more layers of glimmer you add the better it gets. Here I have been very simple with marshmallow base, misted with a little key lime, stamped part of the notes from the garden and finished with a framed font.

Loved the results so much I had to try it again, marshmallow background, this time with SWAKpink. Misted over the lace and timeless romance mist mat. Then, silly me dropped the stamp and left a big blue speck of ink, at first I thought I’ve ruined the page but then I remembered Wendy saying, if you don’t like it add another layer. She was right, all the more cuter now with the addition of an irresistible rose chip.

May is the month Tattered Angels is celebrating My Little Shoe box and their sweet range of papers. I whipped up a little card using Heidi Swapp mask, SWAKpink and that lace again and frosted the cupcakes off with a little dazzling diamonds mist.

For a cooking themed page I used blocks of printed paper for hidden journaling that gave me more space to play with the accents, including a framed font, irresistible foil chip SWAKpink and notes from the garden stamp.

Still working on my Paris themed altered book, stamps from Tattered Travels and Timeless Romance keep finding their way into pages. A perfect blend for Paris, romance and travel. Am off to play now with some new postcards that have arrived and just itching for a bit of that glimmer magic.
