Welcome back to another Christmas card! I've got another Christmas Cards class to work on and this will be one of the designs for that class. At the last class, we'd used the shimmer paint to make a shimmer mist and this time, I thought I show how to use it as an ink for stamps.

All you need to use the paint to stamp your stamps with is:

• a plate of some sort (I used the cover of a stamp box so I could close it to save any excess)
• a sponge dauber
• shimmer paint (I'm using Frost White here)

Take your sponge dauber and daub the shimmer paint onto your stamp and stamp away! It dries slower than classic ink (dye ink) but faster than craft ink (pigment ink).

So, for this card, I'd inked up the Baroque Motif swirl image and stamped it onto the navy card stock so it could be really easily seen. The sheen is so pretty in real life! Hope you like this card, thanks for visiting my blog and sharing your thoughts :)
