More Glitter Painting for Gof7

Hi everyone.  Another card for October's Group of Seven technique - Glitter Painting on Acetate.
Unfortunately, it's very difficult to photograph cards that use acetate because the light bounces off and reflects.  The only way is to make the card fairly dark ... and that's what I did, but I lost the sparkly goodness of the glitter that's added to the back of the images. :(  Trust me, in real life, the card has sparkle! :)

All in all, I'm happy with my finished cards, but did not enjoy working with loose glitter.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps:  Floral Holiday Trio (Magenta); Snowglobe Sentiments (MTF - retired)
Paper:   White card stock (Neenah 110 lb.); Acetate
Ink:   Versamark; Candied Apple Distress Ink for sentiment
Accessories:   Liquid Platinum embossing powder (Ranger), heat tool, glitter in different colours, glue

I am with you on the loose glitter, terrible stuff. It gets everywhere. I still have some but haven't used it in years. Your card is so pretty. I think the end result was worth the hassle xx

You lost the schparkle, Lolly, but not the beauty! Actually, without it, this looks like a real stunning stained glass window with the silver looking soldered! Hugs, Darnell

This is gorgeous Loll and love the three scripted panels with the pretty seasonal foliage and poinsettia flower, and the colours are beautiful and the bright red sentiment complements it perfectly. I think the design with the acetate adhered to the two white panels which look as though they have been popped up for dimension looks great, and this also allows the light to shine through the added space. x
