Splitcoast Tutorial: Colored Glitter Inlay

It's my turn to share a tutorial with the Splitcoast community and I chose this fun glittering technique - Colored Glitter Inlay! The little scene below was actually created with a cutting die. I love how the outline fades into a 'no-line' scene as glitter and color are added. It's an easy and fun one - I hope you'll check it out!


This die was a sample handed to me in the Spellbinders booth at CHA - it's part of the In'Spire die collection, and it's called Paradise Palms. I colored the glittered scene with Touch Twin Markers and custom-colored some flat-backed pearls for coconuts, too! The sentiment comes from my Life Stuff Sentiments clear set.


It's so very sparkly! Hope you'll take a look and try it out.
Thanks for stopping by!

  1. This looks like fun! Another way to get more out of our dies. Alas, I don't think there's an option to vary the pressure on the Grand Calibur.

  2. Simply lovely and fun to create, not to difficult at all. I have a question.....will the glitter damage the tips of your Copic markers? Just wondering.
    Thank you for the great tutorial, Dina.
