• Try clear or iridescent glitter over stamped and colored images. Winter scenes will take on an icy or snowy look. The colors will shine through.

• Experiment with gold, silver or solid color glitter to add sophistication or elegance.

• Christmas and wedding designs spring to life when glitter is added. Stained glass designs are stunning when filled in with glitter. The time required to carefully apply glitter to each section will pay off in a finished work of art. Gold and silver glitter applied with black images can also be a great look for Halloween - spider webs, bats, haunted houses, etc.

• To remove glitter that has become stuck to your rubber stamps, use a piece of cellophane tape.

• To keep glitter from getting all over your work area, work inside a small box or over a folded paper which can be used to funnel the glitter back into the jar.

• Other embellishments which can be added to your art: ribbon, lace, paper doilies, buttons, silk or dried flowers, small candies such as red hots, wiggly eyes, gold filigree, Victorian accents, charms, angel hair, Easter grass, jewels, or confetti. (Make your own confetti by saving the punchouts from your craft punches.)

• Try working with nature's own embellishments, such as sand, bark, tiny pine cones, moss, leaves, small twigs, dried flowers, natural raffia, shells, etc. Go for a hike, and let your imagination call the shots!
