When i was younger, i can remember getting these beautiful cards w/glitter...probably in the 60's. There is an updated version now...and you use double sided sheets and this very fine glitter, just like sugar and maybe a bit finer than sugar. I also used the masking technique on this card as well.
My good friend, Aga, taught me how to make this "sugar-y" card. As you can see i also used some of my dies for the masking...it's a fun card to make. I also used the doily frame as well.
The image is from Tiddly Inks and is adorable. She is holding a little blue bird.
Here is my card:
The sketch i used is from Sugar Creek Hollow:
Challenges:
