Smooch Spritz - Versatile Wednesday

There are a lot of artsy products on the market today that are uber trendy. And there are a lot of products I look at and think "how do I use this?" and bypass it altogether. But since I've been doing this blog and showcasing products exclusively from Stampin' Up, I've learned that there's nothing in the cardmaking/scrapbooking world that you can't experiment with. You don't have to invent the wheel but you DO have to keep pushing the creative envelope and use products that are outside the norm.

One of the products that I gave a try yesterday was the Smooch Spritz.

I believe this product came out (but don't quote me) sometime last year and can you believe that I only used this for the first time yesterday? Here are the results.

Smooch Spritz comes in four colours: Gold Glow (item #118770), Silver Foil (item #118771), Vanilla Shimmer (item #118772) and the one that I used on my two cards, Log Cabin (item #119921). All are priced at $6.25 for a 0.37 fluid oz glass bottle.

You can use Smooch Spritz to add a splash of shimmer on any type of cardstock, embellishment and chipboard. For my first card that I used on Marina Mist cardstock, I spritzed a plain white flower and embellished it with an antique brad. I absolutely loved the rustic beauty of it. I also decided to use Smooch Spritz on some chipboard stars that I matted with Whisper White cardstock and the brand new Lucky Limeade (my new favourite colour - sorry Concord Crush!).

I was really pleased at how versatile Smooch Spray can be and how it always changes the look of your project just by how far you stand to spritz it. If you stand about 10" away from your project, you can get a fine mist. A little bit closer, and it will be a more concentrated look. But one word of advice. Get the Colour Catcher (Item #121093 $7.50) because it will go all over the things you don't want covered. It can get messy. I learned that the hard way.

Tell me what you think and then give it a try!
