This Easter Card doesn’t scan well, but its made using the Burnished Velvet Glitter technique.
A couple of local women, Deanna Pannell and Haroldine Wingfield developed this technique. Haroldine is the owner of Be Creative craft store in Pitt Meadows, BC (no web site). These two gals have popularized this technique throughout the Lower Mainland and beyond.
Essentially, the Burnished Velvet technique refers to applying glitter to double sided sticky tape, then rubbing the glitter with your fingers to bring out the sheen and to prevent color contamination when using two or more colors of glitter. This results in a lovely effect that looks and feels like brushed velvet.
There are various effects you can get with Burnished Velvet, including using masks to create patterns of several colors. This card demonstrates using ultrafine, transparent glitter to completely cover a picture — in this example, an item from the Heartwarming Vintage Collection by Crafty Secrets.
Be Creative markets its own brand of double sided tape, and that is what is used here. The tape is available in sheets as shown in this video, or in rolls of tapes. You can buy it at various stores including ordering online from I’m Impressed , a Vancouver craft store.
To make this Easter card, I have also used an embossing folder from Cuttlebug. This is one of the border folders. If this is new to you, please refer to my video tutorial showing the Cuttlebug Embossing Folders used with the Sizzix Big Shot.
Here is a video tutorial showing how I made this Easter Card using the Burnished Velvet glitter method.
I apologize in advance. In the video demonstration, I referred to the method as the Brushed Velvet method instead of the Burnished Velvet method. It does end up looking like brushed velvet so I suppose that is where my word mixup came from. 
The transparent glitter I used is Warm Highlights by Crystal Glitter Ritz. It’s also available in Cool Highlights.You can purchase it at most craft shops in the Vancouver area, including online at I’m Impressed.
Obviously you can use this technique with other brands of tape and other brands of glitter. Around here, we just happen to think that Deanna and Haroldine have the BEST products! LOL
