Surf and Sand by Emily Montenaro


I have to admit that I’m normally a “flat adhesive” kinda girl when it comes to using glitter on my cards. I’ve had the Art Glitter Designer Dries Clear adhesive in my stash for a while, but usually reach for a two-way glue pen. The two-way glue pen is ok for the neutral glitters, but I found that it just didn’t bring out the color very well for colored glitter. So I pulled out the Designer Dries Clear Adhesive and started playing. WOW – what a difference! The Dries Clear adhesive really brought out the color and sparkle in the glitter! And by adding the Ultrafine Metal Tip, I was able to add glitter in detailed spots on this surf design. I stamped the waves, sun, and surf board with the Art Glitter black stamp pad and then all of the “coloring” was done with Dries Clear adhesive and glitter – not even one marker! Such a fun and easy way to add color and sparkle all at the same time!

  3. Very cute card. I love the glitter on the surfboard. I totally just scored some of your glitter for $2 at a garage sale new in the package and I cannot wait to use it.

  4. How wonderful! I love the monogram card. I just saw some great ideas Martha Stewart was using the artglitter for. I'm very inspired by both of you. Thanks. Lisa
