Hi everyone! Welcome to **DIY WEDNESDAY**.... My post today is to share my favourite way to colour DIYs... and that is using my Mists & Sprays!
{Check out Amanda's You Tube Tutorial below - it's fabulous!}
and here are a couple of posts on Amanda's blog too:
Altered Charms Creations - how she altered the Mini Heavenly Heart on this stunning page...

Close up here...
Hope you have time to check it out!
Amanda has also used a *DIY* Mini Heavenly Heart on her current Scrap the Girls Creative Team Sample layout - see her blog post HERE
Using the same technique in the You Tube Tutorial - here is a closeup - just love the perfect match of colour that can be reached by colouring it yourself!
In the meantime, here are my three main tips:
1. Spray your colour, plus maybe some water into a tray to colour your DIY in, rather than spray the DIY direct (although that may create a different effect again!!!)
2. ADD water... wet your DIY before you colour it... will help you control the intensity of the colour. Also SPRAY more water afterward if you need to lessen the colour!
3. Let them dry! You can use a heat gun, but they may also need to dry overnight or for a day. The colour will change as it dries also!
Hope this helps - can't wait to see all the creative and amazing ways you might use your Charms Creations DIYs!
Make sure you check out the Charms Creations Big Cartel Shop and make sure you take advantage of this great deal:

Happy Wednesday!
