This is so cool! I love Stickles in any shape and form, but these are different than what you're used to! They have a bigger opening because the particles are a little bigger, so they come out a little faster than you expect, but the effect is so neat. Bling without the glitz.The effect is sort of like ground glass, catches the light to add a little bit of sparkle but I am so looking forward to using these on my heritage pages, my boy pages...and of coarse my framed pic of me with Tim!
