Try a thin layer of glossy accents,then after you adhere it aply another layer of glossy,let it dry.
Does it makes sense?

my favorite technique with glass glitter
is to use golden matte gel medium
it's really thick
just dip your piece in the gel medium
or brush the gel medium on
and then dip or push your item
into the glass glitter
then leave aside to dry
it will stay on forever
and pushing your item into the glitter
will aleviate the glitter from brushing or falling off
as it will be embedded into the gel
which is what will happen if you "sprinkle" the glitter
have fun!

so informative in here! I never thought of using Golden Gel Medium. I use Terrifically Tacky Tape most of the time which works really well, but I usually put the larger shards on first and then push it into the paper, and then sprinkle the fine glitter to fill in any gaps...the contrast between the two sizes is nice...that's why we included both in the Romantic.

I LOVED that glass glitter!!!!
I used it with glossy accents... I heart that medium. It;s gloss and glue all in one.
