Today's' card has been inspired by The Paper Artsy Challenge - Glitter
I have got so much glitter around my study,
after yesterdays tag that I thought I would keep going....
They have such inspirational blog posts, for many different ways of using glitter...
I was inspired from the introduction post of the glorious feathers
from Anabela Piersol
Messy but a fun way to add glitter to those fabulous real feathers.
Another inspirational post was from Raquel Burillo (photo below)
and the many ways of applying glitter.
I have used dry glitter rubbed onto double sided tape
and a line of stickles on the left of the card, which I haven't used in years.
The real feathers have been painted with starlight topaz paint.
Such a glorious colour of Mica, gold, brown and topaz...stunning in real life.
My intention was to paint the middle feather on the card
and then pull it off gently and use as a sort of stencil/mask....
The feather was having none of it and stuck fast!!!
Who knew the feather would stick so well without glue?
I applied the dry, sand coloured glitter on the left hand feather with wet glue.
Finishing off with a stamped sentiment in gold heat embossing and brown ink.
More glorious glittery mess around my studio.....
I really don't know why I don't use glitter more often, as in real life it is so very pretty.....maybe I'll use the dry glitter sparingly....
but all the other ways of adding glitter I'm in!!!
Thank you for finding time to stop by...
I wanted to say a Big Thank you for all the very kind
and very generous comments you continue to leave me...

Another Stunning feather result, a Stunning card. I hear techniques used in the 80's and 90's are coming back, with the use of the sticky tape and glitter it is wonderful and works so well updated by you.

Gorgeous! Love how the dry glitter on double sided tape makes such a lovely border. May have to try that.
Wow! Your card is absolutely stunning! Love all the glittery goodness!
Absolutely stunning Mac, beautifully designed and glittered, love the colours, very elegant card.
I started watching outlander on Amazon prime, so I've seen the second series and now on to the third one, won't spoil any of it for you, Kate x
This is brilliant, Mac, in every way! I wouldn't know whether to put it on the mantle or show it off by attaching it to my purse! I certainly would never put it in a drawer or keepsake box, it's too beautiful to hide away!! Hugs, Darnell
Another beauty with this awesome card, Mac ! Love the sparkling look of these feathers ! I can imagine you now with glitter all over your fingers and everywhere else too ! A stunning card again ! Thanks so much for sharing and for inspiring !

Wow, your feather card is just stunning! I can't believe how beautiful it is. Thanks for sharing with us. A winning card, I bet. :)
OMG Glitter heaven, I love the wonderful colour of your feathers. I had to check out Paper Artsy for the challenge :)
Another stunning glittery feather card, Mac! The starlight toparz is so beautiful on the feathers, and the left hand feather with the sand coloured glitter makes a great variation. I didn't know feathers stick to cardstock without glue so fast, either.
Superb work! Hideko :-)
What can I say? I saw your tag and then this card and they make my glitter cards look so, well, ordinary Lol! Amazing work and fantastic colours ... I adore both projects Mac! Going to take a peek at Paper Artsy and see if I can learn something Lol! Have a great day!
