I recently bought this Martha Stewart Glitter box with at least 12 or 15 bottles of different glitter in it. I just LOVE the way it looks, it's so pretty on my shelf, but oh well...will I REALLY use all of this glitter? Not sure. Anyway, it looks pretty on my shelf. But recently, I've been craving some glitter on my layouts, that's why I mixed paints AND glitter on this layout.
First of all, pick 2-3 bottles of acrylic paints and create stripes on your background.
Once it's dry, use double sided tape in between each acrylic paint line.
Add glitter.
Use your vacuum cleaner to get rid of all the glitter you put all over the house. Use Studio Calico FabRips to make a square. Embellish with Wood Veener embellishments, papers flowers and such as Home Front stickers or Elementary stickers.
Don't you love glitter now?
LOVE this! The sparkly stripes are great!

I bought that glitter set two over the holidays and it's so pretty. I LOVE this idea and will have to give it a try on my next layout.

This is brilliant! I adore the look of glitter in diminutive piles or in containers, but am often at a loss as to how to incorporate it into projects - this is a *fantastic* technique, and one I'm sure I'll be copying, soon! :D
Hope you're having a great day! :D
