Glittery Koi Pond

     Here is a little ATC made using the Lotus Garden stamp set and the glittery acetate technique that GlitteryKatie posted as a tutorial recently.  I just love glitter and this technique shows it off beautifully, but be prepared for a glittery mess.  I glittered myself, the dogs, the desk, my laundry and my husbands truck.  Don't ask me how, I am just talented that way.  
      The ATC was rather simple.  The fish were stamped on the acetate, glittered and cut out. I also added black gems for their eyes over the top of the acetate. They were then mounted onto a piece of design paper that I had embossed with a glitter embossing powder using a kanji stamp and matted with gold wrapping paper.  The entire ATC was then mounted onto cardstock.
