Glitter, and lots of it.

I am a messy scrapbooker.  The irony of that is, I'm most creative when I have a clean space to work in so I spend 1/2 my time cleaning up…and then I promptly proceed to make a big mess again.  BUT, I love this process of putting glitter on the flat adhesive Wall Art sheets from Glue Arts – it's beautiful but not too messy (ie: less to clean up which equals more time to work on the next project!).

Christmas love layout

For this layout I used 3 different Clear Scraps products:

  a 12×12 sheet of acyrlic,

a few of the ATC cards

and the Large Expressions word LOVE. 

I also used Terrifically Tacky Tape (for the thin borders) and Glue Arts Wall Art Decor Adhesive sheets for the word LOVE.  This is soooooooooo much more precise and clean than any liquid adhesive I've every tried for glitter! 

I completely covered the word and the borders with adhesive, poured red glitter on it and rubbed like crazy, burnishing the glitter to a nice smooth finish.  I then sprayed a coat of Krylon Preserve It! overtop so it wouldn't rub off.  Easy.  And only one little piece of scrap paper with a little excess glitter to clean up at the end. 

OK, on to the next project 🙂
