This is the last of the cards I made for the Sparkle & Shine class. There are still a few techniques that I will get round to trying at some point, but I was just about glittered out by the time I got to this one 🙂 I created an ombre effect on the hexagons… Continue reading Glitter hexagons with love
I don't like to waste anything, so I needed to find a use for my patchy glitter kiss test piece.
