I don't know about you, but I am not a huge glitter fan. It's way too messy for me. I once made a glittery project out on my deck on a cold day in October, and I STILL found glitter from one end of my house to the other. There seems to be no way to avoid it. Especially with 3 dogs (that make 12 paws) tracking it around with them. So, I tend to use glitter alternatives, like glitter glue. So, even though the current theme is glitter. I cheated just a little bit. See what you think!
I used a Get Inky! digi stamp on the sailboat and paper pieced it. That was a new digi technique for me, but was very easy to do. Then, after I fussy cut each piece, I used a corresponding color of glitter glue, a spritz of water, and a paint brush, and painted on my glitter glue. Here's a close up so you can hopefully see the sparkle a little better.
Can you see how each piece of the sailboat -- even the flag -- has it's own glittery wonderfulness to it? It's a great technique if you don't like to get messy.
The "Birthday Wishes" sentiments is from the Get Inky! Stamps Sew Sweet Cupcakes stamp set.
