My DT kit this month included some lovely 6x12in papers and embellishments from Pink Paislees Vintage Vogue collection and two bottles of Tattered Angels Glimmer Glaze. I decided to make use of my Prima packaging and create a mini album of the first ever scrapbook retreat I ever went to, Autumn Escape in Taupo. You can tell how long Ive had some of this packaging by the colour of it :), its one of the original packaging.
I used a few techniques to decorate the packaging. Embossing the cardstock and then dry brushing over it to highlight it with white paint. Then I put some glimmer glaze into a Tim Holtz mini mister and lightly sprayed over the whole thing. With the Collections dress forms on the front, I embossed one of them and painted both with glimmer glaze and layered them on top of each other. The glimmer glaze comes in a little 1oz bottle with a screw top lid and a brush attached, a bit like a nail polish bottle. The colours I used were Aloha Green and Hawaiian Hibiscus. I used the brush application to paint some white flowers in both of these colours to match the papers. By the time I finished the album I decided I preferred the glaze to the mists because they're more versatile in that you can spray or paint so easily, instead of just having a spraying option.
Hopefully this has given you a few ideas to use Glimmer Glaze for, and that even smaller pieces of paper can be enough to decorate a mini album. Its in the the shop now. And wait til you see what I did with the scraps!
Happy scrapping everyone!

what a super way of recyling packaging! I have thrown so much away over the years, this has inspired me to hang on to it from now on!
I love how you turned the packaging into a book and I love how you embellished it. Beautiful!
