Homemade Perfect Pearls Glimmer Mist
Use a popsicle stick to add about 3 scoops of your favorite Perfect Pearls to a Ranger mister bottle, add water and shake to dissolve. (I used white Perfect Pearls, 1/2 cm, then added water to the "i" in mister, 3 1/2 cm. Use more or less to get the effect you want.) First sample.
Color Glimmer Mist: add a squirt of reinker to the Perfect Pearls before adding water to make a "Glimmer Mist" in your favorite color. (I used gold Perfect Pearls and Bottle reinker.) Second sample.
The sheen doesn't scan well, but it is there.
The ATC backgrounds are made by smooshing Peeled Paint and Weathered Wood on a piece of plastic, spritzing with water and pressing and dragging white cardstock on the watery ink. Stamp image on dry background, then spray with your Perfect Pearls Glimmer Mist.
Top: ATC is spritzed with Perfect Pearls Mist.
Bottom: right: a sample of Bottle-Gold Perfect Pearls Glimmer Mist sprayed on white cardstock. left: ATC spritzed with Bottle-Gold Perfect Pearls.

I had playtime when I worked a regular job... now that I'm self-employed, I don't.

What do you do on slow days when few customers come through the doors?

There's always something to do on the website or blog or new artwork... some days, no customers come in the store at all.

Thank goodness, there is nothing as tiring or boring as having nothing to do.

Yes, a computer can occupy us or waste our time or some of each.
