Hi there! Do you like using glitter in your projects? I'm a so-so user. In other words, I can do without it but mostly because of the mess it often time leaves.
I received a bottle of beautiful green glitter from Jenlee Schoolcraft which I was really excited about, and it also prompted me to buy a new tool...a glitter vacuum.
We'll get to that later, but first, the card!
Watch the video for the process, but basically, I used a combination of clear embossing powder and the Nuvo Pure Sheen glitter to create the card background. I heated two layers of the clear embossing powder before adding the glitter. In a sense, I am making my own glitter paper. The embossing powder absorbed the glitter so it has a slick finish to it.
Once that was complete, I colored and die cut these cute parrots for the focal images on the card. As an afterthought, I probably should have made these birds a different color, but the greens are different shades so it's still super cute!

Product Review:
Yes, I love it! I made a mess of the embossing powder and glitter but this little vacuum had no trouble picking up all of it! This, my friends, is a great buy! Especially if you're like me and forget to put an under paper on your work area. I got this with a coupon and it was about $11 (normally under $15). Not bad at all!
