Glittered Rose…

Nov 13, 2009

It’s no sur­prise to you all that I love glit­ter. So I decided to mix my own and came up with this gor­geous ice/snow mix­ture. I wanted this silk rose to resem­ble that of one get­ting caught in an early frost or slightly icy morning.

To achieve this look I first sprayed the entire rose with Iri­des­cent Maya Mist and let it dry com­pletely. Then using a paint­brush I applied Glossy Col­lage Pauge Instant Decoupage to the petals tips. While the decoupage was still wet I applied the glit­ter. I really wish you could see this in per­son as the sparkly good­ness just does not show up as I want in these photos.

And if you would like some of my glit­ter to accent your own projects I will be sell­ing these adorable vin­tage glass salt and pep­per shak­ers in my store very soon.

    Lisa, I love the idea of com­bin­ing glit­ters. When I was work­ing on the glit­tery pump­kin project you posted a few weeks back, I had a hard time find­ing enough orange glit­ter to cover my 12 pump­kins. Is it pos­si­ble to tint glit­ter? Thanks, Melissa G
