Recently I was jumping around on the internet and I went to one of my many favorite sites, Ellen Hutson.com, and became so excited over the technique (pictured here) that Julie Ebersole (on the Design Team) was creating in The Classroom. Julie called it Glittered Copics for a lack of a better title. It could have been called anything, I was ready to learn. Do yourself a favor and learn how to do this technique. As you see, I tried three different visuals but it is the actual technique with the Micro Fine Glitter that is stunning and "easy". The following week, I began to teach the gals in my card classes and each of them managed very nicely.
The Glitter process is a Burnished Velvet Technique and I cannot wait to have fun with this glitter in other ways. Stay tuned.......
