Glitter For Men!

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for popping over today.
I am cutting it a bit fine (again!) with my entry for the second challenge in the new Compendium of Curiosities III Challenge.  Challenge number two is all about Distress Glitter.  There are some amazing fabulous prizes donated by  Tim & Mario to win, and also from the second challenge's sponsor, The Funkie Junkie Boutique.  I am not a glittery girl as a rule but these distress glitters are like no other. They are chunky like sugar and so give a fabulous shine and texture plus they take the distress inks so well and hold the colour.  Here is my entry for challenge two. Glitter on a man's card!? but it works.....



  
I wanted to use my new chevron die and also wanted to show how good the distress glitters look when teamed up with metal techniques which is perfect for an idea for the a card for the man in your life. The  little hint of glitter on this card is just enough to bring it to life, and just shows off the versatility of the distress glitters.  


I hope this card gives you some inspiration with Fathers day coming up, and with that thought in mind I am also entering this into this months challenge over at A Vintage Journey which this month is hosted by Anne who has chosen the title of 'All about Him'
