Make it Mondays - Glitter

Happy Wednesday! Last night I got messy with some glitter (ha, I know why I do not use it more often...) and made a card for PTI's Make it Mondays. After some very glittery, very unsuccessful attempts (including tossing some gorgeous pp into the trash bin), I managed this:

Yes, I went wild with the glitter and even added it to the heat-embossed leaves! Although I have to admit that I did it to disguise a white outline around the leaves. First I had stamped the leaves using White Snow ink, but it just didn't look that good. To avoid tossing another piece of glittered paper into the trash bin, I decided to use black embossing powder. But I didn't cover the previously stamped image exactly, so the white was showing on some of the edges of the leaves. So I added some more glitter. Happy little accidents!

It is fun layering all the circles! This one would work well as cupcake topper, too. Here is the closer look:

Like you might have guessed already, I don't have that much experience with glitter. I used a glue pen to add it. But will it really stay there? I am afraid to put it anywhere to not have the glitter everywhere. Would you recommend spraying hair spray over the card? Any advice is much appreciated! Oh, and here is the link to the video/challenge.


Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day!


Hugs and Love,
Vanessa
