A project from our live show Brand Showcase in the HTCN studios - GLITZ CRAFT - broadcast Friday 25th Feb 22 - 1st show · 25/02/2022

A vibrant textured background created by applying glitter paste through a stencil in two complementary colours. The paste dries to reveal sparkling, dimensional stripes with a beautiful colour blend, perfect for adding glamour to any card design.
