I really loved the sketch for to-day and had some extra time so here is a start on my Christmas cards. I found this glitter painted piece in the bottom of a file so decided to use it. It is a very easy technique but a little messy so don't have the window open and bar all small, furry animals from the studio! LOL Simply cover a piece of card stock with double sided tape... lay the stencil on the top... mask off certain parts (so as not to have red where the green leaves should be!..don't ask)..and glitter away. Burnish the glitter with your finger but always remember NOT to scratch any itches until you wipe your hands..don't ask ..again!! After you colour simply remove the stencil and add the neutral background. The sentiment is from Elizabeth Craft Designs. I had this button so I just added some glitter and a gem in the centre and used a Cuttlebug embossing folder for the bottom.

You had me giggling here because I have scratched an itch while working with glitter -> made me look starry-eyed with glittered eyelids, LOL...as always, Sue, this is just stunning! I saw this sketch and couldn't come up with a good idea - yours is fantastic with all the glitter!
