SPECTRUM GLAZES > CRISTAUX SECS

About DRY CRYSTALS

Dry Crystals are a collection of specialty finishes within the Spectrum Glazes range, designed for crafters who want to add texture, sparkle and dimensional effects to their papercrafting projects. Whether you're a card maker, stamper or scrapbooker looking to bring extra interest to your work, these products offer creative possibilities beyond traditional colouring and embellishing.

This category includes four distinct products: Cristaux Pewter for a sophisticated metallic finish, plus three reactive crystal options in Green, Blue and Brown. The reactive varieties are designed to respond and interact with other mediums, creating unique, unpredictable effects that add character and depth to your designs. Crafters typically use dry crystals to embellish focal points, add sparkle to stamped images, or create textured backgrounds that catch the light.

When working with dry crystals, consider the colour palette of your project first—metallic pewter works beautifully with almost any scheme, whilst the reactive colours work best when you've thought about how they'll interact with your other materials. Start with small amounts and test on scrap paper to see how each product behaves before committing to your finished piece.
