You can imagine how happy I am... hahaha OK, I like glitter, I'm just not used to the whole mess it can create.
But this time I decided not to avoid it and instead of using "safer" products I thought I should go for some really glitter. The result:
Oh yes, I did the golden background with glitter! Not only that, but I did experiment quite a lot before I decided on my approach.
At the end I got the best result using mask, mod podge glue and palette knife. I put my mask on the paper and used the palette knife to add the glue as we would do with modeling paste. I lifted the mask, added tons of glitter (well, it looked like tons to me!). As soon as I cleaned my mask I went back and slightly pressed the glitter with my fingers. The result? Can't be described... A very bad quality photo might given you an idea:
And a closer photo of the background:
Well, it worths the while, right? And yes, I will admit it: I did enjoy it very much!
I added a few more glittery details such as stickles on the cat-clip, glittery font for the title and a few rinestones...
The best of the whole experience is that I had left the page with the experiments on the desk and Lola thought it was a good idea to lie on top of the page. I had a glittery live cat in the house for some time, lol!
So, that's all from me for today... I hope you like it and I hope you will come over at The Studio Challenges to see the glittery creations of the design team and to play along with us. You have two weeks!
Hugs,
Anastasia

Haha, that is so much fun!
Thank you for the story behind the layout (and for the photo of your glitter hand)!
I think the result is worth all the ... glitter!
