Hi RachO113 um i have a question about the ink you used. what exactly is that? because i would love to make these, but i really do not know where to get any of this ink

[RachO113]

@ChristinaLoVaa Glimmer Mist is a dye based ink in water. The sparkle or shimmer comes from the mica powder that is added to the product. On this tutorial I am using the brand by Tattered Angels, but other brands are available. Hope that helps.

Did you say you used a specific kind of paper for the last one you showed (where you wadded the paper into a ball)? Loved the video can't wait to watch some of your other ones. Patti

@nwlady1949 I just use regular printer / copier paper for the wrinkle technique - nothing special needed :-)

@nickki64053 Hi Nancy, Yes, Sticky Fingers is a UK company, not sure if they ship internationally, but they do have a web site if you google them and could email to ask.
