After much experimentation, I've finally settled on the best way to use my recently purchased jar of Ranger's Distress Clear Rock Candy Dry Glitter.
It used to be made as a wet product contained in a Stickles bottle and I loved this stuff. Sure, it could reactivate inks or wrinkle paper due to its high moisture content but I could work around this--no problem.
So I set about mixing various mediums with the dry glitter to use in an empty squeeze bottle like before. Unfortunately nothing I tried worked, I went back to basics, and this card illustrates a technique that will have to do.
Using Simon's Delicate Flowers stamp set on a page of Paper Stash, I fussy-cut then pasted an arrangement on more Paper Stash (this time stained with Seedless Preserves) and mounted on black paper using strips of the same for balance.
I painted on small sections of fluid matte medium then used my fingers to lightly sprinkle the dry glitter over the area before the medium dried. I found that a light application was better than a dump (like you would do with embossing powder) and sometimes it was necessary to apply two coats to get the look I was going for.
I'm linking to Simon, this week's prompt is "Use Die-Cuts" (how I made the card text).
As always, I hope this post finds you well and happy and I appreciate your visit.
Until next time, take care.
