I was the Memory Box blog called "Outside the Box" a couple of weeks ago and saw a new technique involving glitter so decided to give it a try. Here's a link to the instructions:
I did it the way they say, stamping my image over the glitter in archival ink, but found my watercolours flowed way over the lines, so redid it with pigment ink and embossing powder which kept the watercolours perfectly contained.
IRL the focal image is much more glittery than in the photo. I bordered both the image and the dp background with some pale green glitter cs I had that perfectly matched the colour of my watercoloured holly leaves - I love it when that happens!

What a beautiful technique! Thanks for sharing the link! I love how you've added the glitter to the edges of the layers and how it matches the holly leaves!
