Experimenting with Stencils To Make Patterned Glitter Paper

Hello everyone,

Today I used a stencil to create patterned paper, then glittered it to make my own glitter paper!




I used the Feathery Leaves stencil from A Colorful Life Designs to create a pattern on my Gina K. Designs cardstock panel.  I first inked it with Gina K. Design's In The Navy ink using one of my Life Changing Brushes.  Then I rotated the stencil a bit then did a second inking without adding any more color to my brush.  (Yes, I'm using magnets to hold down my stencil.  I flipped my original MISTI over, and have my project adhered with magnets to the back of the MISTI.)


I then lightly sprayed the panel with Elmer's Craft Bond Spray adhesive.  I protected my desk from any overspray with a cheap plastic dollar store tablecloth, and also sprayed in a small lidded box.







Then coated the whole sticky panel with Nuvo Pure Sheen Diamond Glitter.  I used my Ranger craft sheet over the glittered panel to press the glitter firmly into the adhesive.  The glitter is very translucent so the color and pattern are still very visible, yet the glitter gives a very iridescent look.


I used the Hello from the Bold Greetings word die set to create an Eclipse card with my glittered panel, stacking three layers of white die cut letters with the panel die cuts, adhering them with Art Glitter Glue.

  7. A stock item for cheerleader makeup is GLITTER! But how do you know when your cheerleader makeup look has gone overboard? DWTS is known for its ultra glam makeup and costuming and their use of LOTS of glitter! Buy glitter in bulk

  8. Every woman is unique and so is her skin. Thus, attempting to enhance your appearance by the use of generic cosmetics may not be the best thing to do. Use the cosmetics that actually suit your skin. panda gift

  9. Buyer beware! Not all that glitters is gold. It may turn into "Fools Gold" and your investment will "go up in smoke" Wholesale glitter by the pound
