Glitter and Glaze Pens

I had decided to do a challenge that required the use of acetate, something I really like using. But, as always my best laid plans fall apart when I get sick, so I ran out of time to do what I originally planned. I had been digging through my Xmas stamps and found this wonderful snowflake stamp and decided to do a technique that I hadn't done in a long time.

You first stamp the image on acetate with Stazon ink, when it dries you turn it over to work on the other side. You only need white glitter to do this, but you can make the glitter any colour you want by using different coloured Glaze pens. Just colour in the areas you want the glitter to stick to, with whatever colour Glaze pen you want. I used a light blue Sakura Glaze pen and a clear one on my snowflake. Pour glitter over the coloured  areas and let it dry completely before taking a paint brush and cleaning all the extra glitter off. Turn the acetate back over, so the smooth side faces up and attach to your card.
This card is so much prettier in person, because of all the pretty glitter, but I had to photograph it at night indoors. I'll try and add a close up tomorrow, if it shows better in natural light.
