| Altenew Radial Hearts and Simple Alphabet Wafer-thin Dies |
When I first saw this die, I knew that glitter was soon going to end up on my floor, face, dog, etc. That is because it is the perfect die-cut image for a glittery background! In keeping with my recent goal of trying to use what I have and also have fun with some new things, the 16 bottles of ancient Martha Stewart glitter (sitting in a dark cupboard) came to mind. Which is why Radial Hearts and Lots of Glitter is a perfect match and the name of this post.
Aside from glitter sticking to everything in the house, it is also hard to scan and photograph. I wanted to show the yummy colors of the glitter so I took pictures and also scanned the cards. The photographs do a better job of showing the shimmery sparkle. Whereas, the scans are better at showing the actual colors. Even though it is strange to see pictures of the same subject in different lighting, that is why they are included.

This is why the next photos are also dark and light. The one on the left is a photograph taken with a phone. It shows the depth achieved with simple layering of blue over white cardstock, with the glitter adhered in each heart. Whereas, the picture on the right is a scan to show the entire card and the different colors of glitter.
The two pictures posted below were taken with a phone. They don't show the intensity of the red glitter paper. However, they make up for it by showing the depth achieved with foam tape to pop up the white die cut image of Radial Hearts. This, in turn, was adhered to a kraft cardstock card base.
Lastly, the scanned card below was included to show that butterflies always look good when glittered on paper projects.
