Easy Elegance with Glitter Glue

Adding just a small amount of glitter to any
card can make it really pop! Glitter glue in any color will give pizzazz to a
boring card. I use mostly “crystal”, which will bring out any color that it is
used over. (ex: put over red it reflects red, etc.)
Stamp card in monochromatic colors - when
done add your glitter glues to highlighted areas or images. Don't over do!! Too
much can take it from elegant to gaudy. Using crystal on plain white cardstock
to dot a background gives just enough glitz to turn it into a gorgeous gift.
Supplies:
Butterfly Stamp (Impression Obsession)
Fern Leaf (Impression Obsession)

4. Stamp
the butterfly three times going in different directions, also in pink ink.
5. Stamp
