Egg Spritzing: I have an old box with a lid attached on one side that I use to spritz in (practice safe spritzing...lol). Just fill your spritzers with rubbing alcohol (drys faster than water) and 15 drops of re-inker in each color in each spritzer to spritz strips of Silver Glimmer Paper. I tried with less drops, but it was not intense enough color on the Silver Glimmer Paper. Stampin' Up! Glimmer Paper has a special backing that holds up to spritzing. The color works itself under the glitter and dries in about 15 minutes. Then, just punch out your eggs with the Extra Large Oval Punch.
Tip: Once you designate a color to your spritzer, just label it and keep it that color. They are inexpensive and so washing the color out of the spritzing mechanism isn't worth your time.
I also did an Ombre effect on the background of this card with the Brayer. Here's my Technique Journal page.
Happy Stampin'
