Out from comfort zone


This weeks DCM dare was quite scary, even I do love to try everything new.
My unusual and uncomfortable things in this card are:
I used glitter-glue very first time in my life. (I still don't like it, and think it was also the last time!) I'm just wondering why in a world I've ever bought them?
Second, I made large-h free hand instead of printing. This I can do again, it was actually easy.
Third, I computer embossed the white "syntymäpäivää". This was also the very first time in my life, but for sure not last; it was so easy and fun!
I have to say this card isn't my favorite (mostly because of that glitter-glue!) but I'm happy I faced my fears and learned something new.

Fab car Annikki - you've done so many new and different things on one card - that was really brave, I think! Braver than me, for sure!

I don't mind glitter glue - but I only use the Ranger "Stickles" ones as they don't come out in great big globs when you only want a little dot!

I REALLY REALLY don't get on with loose glitter thoug - I've had far too many "accidents" with the evil stuff!

Well considering you don't like glitter glue you have used it to great effect. I sometimes don't like it too, it never blobs in the exact place you want it, so I've found it's quite effective to smear it and just use it as a highlight on wings of butterflies etc.
