Welcome to Half Way to Friday! =)
I don't know about you, but other than stickles, I tend to AVOID loose glitter as much as I possibly can. Everyone in my family wears it when I get it out - including my hubby and furbabies. However, today, I'd like to share with you a fun way to adhere glitter to your cards, and hopefully not share TOO much with the rest of your family to wear!
Three items I use - loose glitter, Sakura Quickie Glue Pen and Tacky Tape
I started with this cute Rose Flower Name image (this was last Friday's Freebie you can STILL get it). I attached two pieces of the double sided Tacky tape in the two corners of this image
After removing the red film from the tape, I sprinkled it with the loose glitter (be sure to use a piece of paper to catch any run away glitter. Tap excess glitter off.
Below, I decided to add glitter to the purple flower part of this mage. I colored my image first with my copics and then used my Quickie Glue pen. I colored small sections at a time and didn't color over the black lines, so they would stand out after the glitter was added. After each small section was 'colored' with the quickie glue pen, I sprinkled the glitter and then tapped off excess glitter. Repeat until image areas are glittered as you wish.
Here is a close up photo of the glittered strips and the glittered flower (kind of hard to see).
Here is the final product - it's hard to see the glittery part of the glitter, but it looks gorgeous in real life.
I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have - feel free to leave me a comment.
