I like sparkly stuff. Found this neat glitter by Stampin' Up called Dazzling Diamonds that adds a lovely shimmer to penwork. It doesn't show up well in pictures so anyone interested in this sort of thing will have to trust me on this. What I like to do is get a ballpoint glue pen. Martha Stewart makes some and you can get them at Michael's, Joann's, and probably Hobby Lobby. Here's a card I stamped the other night with a plain, wintery scene. It's pretty simple as it is. But sweep the glue pen across the 'ground' and branches, sprinkle with the glitter, tamp off the excess and VOILA!...it's a winter wonderland.
It's easy to use and looks just as pretty with flourished pieces. Oh...another thing that helps is to find those tiny spoons often served with ice cream. They are perfect for getting a bit of glitter or embossing powder out without having to dump the jar.
