I had in mind to play with some glitter after making a card for my sisters birthday a couple of weeks ago. On her card I used a strip of double sided tape to adhere some glitter, and it worked pretty well :) Sonce then I have wanted to try a card like this, with LOTS of glitter!
Using double sided tape in widths of 12mm, 6mm, and 3mm I ran them across a piece of white cardstock cut to size. I wanted to add some white glitter to the small spaces between the tape so I ran a Zig two way glue pen between and sprinkled over the white glitter shaking off the excess.
I then peeled away the backing to the double sided tape and sprinkled over the very bright red glitter - it looks much more vibrant IRL!
For the sentiment from the Jeweled Tree set I used a glue pad. The star was cut from a Spellbinders die, and leaving the die in place I tapped the glue pad all over the star then sprinkled over the white glitter, shaking off any excess.
I found all these mediums worked pretty well at adhering the glitter from AED.
Thanks for stopping by today, and I hope your Sunday is special!
This is such a great idea!

This looks beautiful - thanks for sharing how you did the background layer. I have a stash of glitter just waiting to be used so maybe over the holiday break I will try your glitter ideas.
