UKATC January Colour - Glitter


I have sat with a piece of cream glitter paper all cut to size since Christmas .... I have now put it to one side to use later, I really don't know what to do about 'glitter'.

I remember a technique that used double sided tape - three strips, add some glitter powder .... and then what?  I filled in the gaps with some tape, added a rose outline peeloff which has a red stone.


During a shopping trip to Solihull I picked up a box of stamps in the sale at Paperchase.
Now to my glitter ATCs!!!!


The Eiffel Tower - glittered!!!



I stamped the tower and added a plane and a cloud - oo la la!!  Not wanting to detract from the glitter I drew some vegetation round about.




I used another stamp (given free with a magazine) to form a line of houses along the lower edge.  I coloured them using various pens but I am afraid the glitter didn't like them at all.  I added a moon and stars from a nail accessory pack.  The sky was coloured using glitter gelpens.     





I added a tree and blossoms in the grass to this Eiffel tower, I thought a few butterflies brought Spring to the scene - Springtime in Paris any one?

Yes! actually.  I am spending a few days in Spring (April) in Paris.  Meeting old friends, PJ's not mine .....

I have received the following cards back: -


Beautiful drawn flowers, glittered and embellished.
