Here’s another fun and innovative product from Viva Decor– 3D Glitter Gel. It’s a medium body molding past that is chock-full of glitter and chunky bits. It’s a quick way to add mega-texture to your projects!
As usual, I thought I’d start with some swatching. I applied the two versions of the Glitter Gel to some sheet music, white, and black paper so we can really get a sense of how opaque the color really is.
You can see that the blue has a deeply tinted base, while the gold is more translucent. And even with just a quick swipe of a brush, you get some really good coverage.
Since I’m familiar with artist’s molding gels and pastes, I thought I’d try it out with my brass stencils. I taped in down and used a palette knife to apply the gel.
I also applied some right to my journal page with the palette knife. Instant texture and zing!
Next, I applied some Glitter Gel to some chipboard shapes- it spreads just like frosting.
This product will certainly add some punch to you mixed-media artwork and paper crafts- and really, a little will go a long way.
I used some 3-D Glitter Gel to make this tag. What do you think?
Now, I received these samples at CHA Summer 2010, but I couldn’t find it on their site, or any buying information. Let’s hope that it will be updated soon so we can learn more about it!
In the meanwhile, I’d love to hear how you might use a product like this….

Love it. I especially like the “spreads like frosting” factor.
