Inspired by last weekend's northeastern snow storm, I blasted this Christmas Cuties snowman card with loads of glitter! He seems quite delighted, wouldn't you say? After I colored the image, I sprayed the entire layer with spray glue -- a nice even layer -- and then sprinkled on the glitter. Once the adhesive was dry (takes very little time), I rubbed my finger over the entire surface to romove any extra glitter and even out the pokey-upy pieces. Once you try it, you'll see what I mean...
And if you think this project is sparkly, you should have seen ME afterwards! *ha!*
I also added a little wool felt holly decoration to the button/twine bow. I had a very small scrap of felt on my desk left over from the wool felt rolled flower hairclips I made last month, so I did a little snip-snip with the scissors, and ta da! Holly leaves! They coordinate nicely with the Jillybean Soup paper. Festive!
Hi Judy!

Anna, didn't you say you use Martha Stewart extra fine glitter? You must have an awesome camera too - your pics of the cards and glitter are beautiful! I know you told us one time what you use but I'll be darned if I have to go through all of your comments and posts! haha

Darling little snowman! Whenever I use glitter, it becomes an accessory that I wear on my nose, cheek, hair, and transfer to my loved ones for days afterward! Love the holly leaves/button/twine bow combo!

Another shimmery wonder. I do love all that snowy sparkle either just on cards or from the warm cozy comfort of the great indoors:) I always just oooh and aaaaww at your rustic little embellies and I'm doing it now over that sweet little button with those cute felt leaves and multiloop twine.
