Do you like Glitter?

I love Glitter and I love creating Glitter and finding new colour combinations to make as glitter!  So I have made 2 new sets of glitter styles that will come out in the shop tomorrow!

Hints - These are 6 styles with delicate colours and hints of multicolours in each style.

Bright and Merry – much brighter and multicoloured!

Don’t know how to use Glitter?  Check out brief tutorial that is included with the Glitter Styles, but here are a few screen shots :

Oh yeah and please note that the elements, metal edges, shadows, stars etc are only for display purposes!

Have fun using glitter!  Would love to see what you create!
