Embossing with pigment ink (of whatever color/variety), embossing
powder, and the heat gun. DH loves to help, because it requires a
power tool :-) Actually, my dad saw me embossing and had me buy a
heat gun for him to use in the shop! When we got married, DH and I
made our own thank you notes. We embossed "Thank You" in the center
using silver ink and clear powder, then masked it and stamped a swirls
'n' hearts background stamp (Stampin' Up) using clear embossing ink
and a white pearl embossing powder.

I don't use stickles because they don't provide adequate coverage for
me, though I suppose you could. Take an acetate transparency and
stamp an image on it using Staz-On (I always use black for a stained-
glass effect). Using a dries-clear glue with a fine metal tip on the
bottle (tip can be purchased with the glue, don't recall the brand off-
hand), "color" the areas of the image you want to be a certain color,
then apply the glitter to the glue (yes, this is the messy kind of
glitter!). Repeat with all areas of image and glitter colors. Then
let dry -- a long time! Cut the image out, flip over, and it looks
like stained glass and can be affixed to the card. This works best
with bold images, like a dragonfly with big sections on the wings, or
a stained glass image stamp.
