And I used 3D Embossit Art Glitter Adhesive to give the areas I glittered a little bit of a lift.
First, I glittered all the letters, gold round areas and each pennant. I did a gradient of color on each pennant.

So, here are all the elements glittered and waiting to dry and be assembled:

Here’s a dry run before I glue them all down, just to see what the placement will look like:

And a side view… so glittery!

I glued down the middle pennant in the middle of the ribbon, and then glued out from there:

Here are all the pennants glued down:

And here it is all assembled and hanging from my dresser:

And I know this is lucky because a little rainbow prism showed up in this shot!
