*Comments About Glitter:
First I tried Stickles Frosted Lace. There's almost no sparkle to this one, but it's great for snow. Then I tried Stickles Stardust, and it worked well too, and it sparkled.

When I returned to see the dried Stickles, I saw that the Adirondack Dye Ink had bled into the glitter glue. It looked like I'd put on blue glitter. I sprayed the rest of the pieces with a workable fixative, but the ink still bled into the Stickles.

Next I tried using loose glitter with a glue pen. That worked much better, almost no bleeding at all. However, I used Judikins Prisma Glitter and it turned out pink. Before when I used it, I thought there was too much blue. This time, pink. Maybe I should have shaken up the jar. I tried toning it down with Stickles Frosted Lace which is more opaque, and that helped a lot, but not enough for me. I dumped it.

Next, I tried Elizabeth Craft Designs Microfine Cool Diamond Glitter. It looked good, but not very glittery. Then I remembered that you have to burnish microfine glitter. When it dried, I burnished it with my finger, and it was much better—a subtle glittery shine.

I tried DeNami Xtra-Fine glitter next. There's no color name on the jar, but it looks clear or white. It worked very well. For what I wanted, it was the best choice.
