Glitter Tip

Here's a tip for applying glitter..........use a "Quickie Glue" pen and apply glue to the area you want to apply glitter.  Let the glue dry completely before you sprinkle the glitter.  Once the glue has dried, apply the glitter and rub it in with your finger.  You'll get better coverage this way.
Here is a Thanksgiving card I made using this technique
I created the Happy Thanksgiving in my Silhoutte program and first "cut" it using a sketch pen.  Next I created an outline of the words and then cut it out.  I took my Quickie Glue pen and went over all the letters and let it dry.  Then I sprinkled a bronze ultra glitter over the entire area and rub the glitter into the glue.
The card was lacking something, but I couldn't put my finger on what to add....I decided to stamp some leaves on mulberry papers and fussy cut those and attached.
