Mix-Ability - Adhesive & Glitter

This week we're welcoming the amazing Anna Wight to our Mix-Ability hostess team! She's brought a fun and sparkly challenge to the table - use a sticky medium to adhere glitter to your project.


I made my project to fit Lydia's HYCCT challenge too - so my card is black and white with a pop of purple. This is a set I designed for Our Daily Bread designs - I stamped it on mixed media paper, and masked off the edges, then dropped in some water and ink to color the background.


When that was dry, I used a Tim Holtz stencil to sponge in some rays, and then.... I used the same stencil to apply rays of PVA glue to the scene (using an old library card as a scraper) and create a sticky surface for my glitter. I'll definitely plan on a tutorial later to share this technique - it is sooooo fun, and has some fun possibilities as well.


I offset the fold of my card so that I could use the sentiment as a kind of latch.


Love this sentiment - DARE was my 'one little word' this year, and it's pushed me in our ministry and also in my creative life. So grateful.

Wow, November already?!?
Thanks for stopping by!
