Scrapbooking Tips: Using Glitter

I was busy creating yesterday with a deadline that had come and gone...I had a SUPER FUN kit to work with this month from Coordinates Collections.  The full kits are being revealed on the website today...but here's a sneak peek at some of the yummy things you can create with this kit:

  

 

 

SO for all you scrappers, here's one of my favorite easy tips to jazz up a layout with some glitter...take your diamond glaze with the needle nose tip and trace over some of the designs on the paper.  If you want to use different colors, make sure that you only trace the ones you want to be red all at once then glitter, all blue at once then glitter etc.  That helps to keep the glitter separate and easier to return the excess to your bottle.  In the first layout I used this technique on a few of the words in red and green glitter, a few of the blue swirls and the orange around the three suns.  It really makes a rather simple layout look like you spent hours! :)

Have a great day!

The glittering effects give more emphasis on creating a summery impact, which totally fits in the color of the paper and the subject itself. Pretty simple, but it does the job well.
