Hey kids! Cindy back on the SBC blog today with a product review of Tim Holtz Distress Glitter. Don't you just love glitter???? I sure do!! We are getting a bit messy here today--but it's fun!
TiP: When inking the edges of a glittered item apply ink to your craft mat so you don't get glitter on your ink pad.
Supplies:
Tim Holtz Distress Glitter ( I used spun sugar)
Tim Holtz ink applicator or sponges work, too
Tim Holtz Distress Ink ( I used spun sugar)
Glossy Accents
Apply your Distress Glitter :-) Love that sparkle!! And you can even use your heat tool to speed the drying time with this glitter. It won't melt like other glitters. YAY!!
And I created a tag to use my butterfly on. I applied Distress ink to this tag and then sprinkled a few drops of water on it and then moved it around a bit to get the drippy effect. Then I used my heat tool to dry it. I stamped my stamps and then applied my distress glittered butterfly :-) I also inked my ribbon to match the colors on the tag.
Add'l supplies:
Tim Holtz Distress Ink in worn lipstick & tumbled glass
Ranger Heat tool
Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Artful Things clear stamps
MS All Occasion Cake Art Cricut cart - butterfly@1"
Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut cart - tag @5"
White organza ribbon (I colored this with the Distress ink, too)
This Distress Glitter is fabulous!! I hope I've inspired you to get out your Tim Holtz Distress products and play today! Thanks for stopping by. If you have any questions leave a note in the comments for us. If you're on Facebook you can join SBC there as well because there is always something fun going on :-)
I hope you have a blessed day!

Apply Distress Ink, Stain or marker to your item to be glittered.
Apply a wet glue such as Glossy Accents to the item to be glittered. I used my fingers to get good coverage--told you we were getting messy...LOL. Using a wet glue allows for the most sparkle power since the glitter particles wont lay completely flat.

A really cool thing about this Glitter is you can apply ink to it to create a vintage look. In my case I just wanted some more color on my butterfly. I applied ink to my craft mat and then used a Q-tip to color the edges of my butterfly so I wouldn't get glitter on my ink pad.
