Create a shimmer background
This tutorial will focus on how to add shimmer to embossed backgrounds with Spectrum Noir AquaTint inks.
Gather your supplies
First, get all of the supplies you nee din one place, to make crafting easy!
You will need Gold or Silver AquaTint inks to recreate this project.
In addition to this you also need a piece of foam or a sponge of some kind. You also need an embossed piece of cardstock. If you would like to color your background like I did you can use any kind of dye inkpad with some ink blending foam.

Other ideas with AquaTint inks
The metallic AquaTints are favourites among the design team and many artisits & colorists. I personally use them to splatter over my cards for shimmery dots.
I also use them to mix with different watercolour mediums to add shimmer and I sometimes like to add stripes or to dress up the edges of my cards.
Supplies: AquaTints: 70
