I have to admit that I’m normally a “flat adhesive” kinda girl when it comes to using glitter on my cards. I’ve had the Art Glitter Designer Dries Clear adhesive in my stash for a while, but usually reach for a two-way glue pen. The two-way glue pen is ok for the neutral glitters, but I found that it just didn’t bring out the color very well for colored glitter. So I pulled out the Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and started playing. WOW – what a difference! The Dries Clear adhesive really brought out the color and sparkle in the glitter! And by adding the Ultrafine Metal Tip, I was able to add glitter in detailed spots on this surf design. I stamped the waves, sun, and surf board with the Art Glitter black stamp pad and then all of the “coloring” was done with Dries Clear adhesive and glitter – not even one marker! Such a fun and easy way to add color and sparkle all at the same time!
