No Mess Glitter Technique
The trick to instantly take control of glitter is to trap it in texture paste. Here I used Ranger Translucent Gloss Texture Paste. Simply put some paste on your craft mat, pour in glitter, and mix with a spatula or palette knife.
There are no fly-aways when creating homemade glitter paste and clean-up is a breeze. Once you have your DIY glitter paste mixed up, spread it through a stencil. Here I created WOW! Copper Fire and Graphite Sparkles glitter paste and spread it through the Altenew Bubble Wrap Stencil.
Check out those gorgeous colors! My favorite part is where the Copper Fire and Graphite intermingle. For the sentiment, I die-cut Stardream Metallic Copper cardstock with CZ Design Love You Die. I was amazed at how well the copper cardstock coordinated with my DIY glitter paste.

Shading With DIY Glitter Paste
As you can see in the next card, I used two colors of DIY glitter paste to shade the sphere background. Shading with glitter paste creates visual interest and dimension while keeping the card clean and simple.
First, I mixed two colors of DIY glitter paste with WOW! Sparkles Gold Dust and Copper Fire. Next, I spread the Gold Dust glitter paste around the edge of the Altenew Sphere Stencil. Then I filled in the middle with Copper Fire homemade glitter paste.
Finish, off the card with a silhouette leaf cluster and sentiment. Here I used Altenew Wallpaper Art Stamp & Die Bundle and Simon Says Stamp Just Because Word Mix 2 Stamp & Die.

Gorgeous results Amber and a great way to use glitter within the translucent paste. The bubble wrap stencil in the two different tones looks great and the shading of the sphere gives it dimension, and love the large die cut sentiment and the leaves and sentiment finishing both cards beautifully. x
