Misting, and spritzing and inking and beautiful effect is what comes to mind when I look at today's calendar by Chris Dark. Although the picture does not show it, I'm sure it must be very shimmery and even more beautiful in real life.
Here's how Chris made it.
I spritzed over the mask and ATC with the Cosmic Shimmer mist and a mixture made from Victorian Velvet reinker, water and Perfect Pearls powder. After carefully removing the mask I dried the ink and added the photo corners and the sentiment
The leaves which were stamped with the Distress inks, cut out and brushed with gold Perfect Pearls powder. The sentiment was also stamped around two sides of the ATC using Pine Needles Distress ink. The back of the ATC and calendar for April were stamped with the same stamps and the distress inks mentioned above after using the mask and shimmer mist again over the calendar page.
