Here's a treat from me to you
Lots of goodies and sweeties too
Just remember me while you're there
It really is so great to share !

A box of goodies just for you
A lovely sweetie treat
But no more than 5 a day
You really must not eat !

I used this one and slightly altered the size to suit - depends how many sweets you want to put in it. Do a few test ones first.

Raffe - ULtra Fine clear glitter - I use it all the time and love it ...... I think Hero Arts Hologram is the best ....... so twinkly!! Stampin Up glitter is good too. The effect is brilliant, very subtle and you only need a tiny bit for a stunning effect.

The BEST way to apply it is with a Sakura quickie glue pen



It goes on blue so you can see what you are doing but dries clear. Its like a ball point pen with glue, which means you can do really intricate work with ultra fine glitters.

Hope this helps .... I might do a tutorial if I have time ..... as this is a must have for the crafter!

I use the same Glue pen and its great for writing and fine detail. I'm using Crystal Glamour Dust at the moment its lovely and fine and very sparkly.
