VSN Challenge Card - Interview With The Glitterati
This one was quite a challenge for me .... I HATE loose glitter!!! LOL! The image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with Copics before being 'glitterized'.

This is SO pretty!
I don't mind loose glitter. I think it looks pretty twinkling all over the place, lol!
However....being aware that not everyone feels that way, I keep a drafting brush in my stash. When I use glitter, and once the glue is good and dry, I hold the project over the waste basket and give it a good, brisk, working over with that drafting brush. Excess and not well adhered glitter snows off the project into the waste basked. I keep brushing until I see very little glitter, if any at all, falling.
There will still be PLENTY of glitter left on the project, but there will be almost no glitter shedding off the project afterward.
I purchased my drafting brush at Office Max, from the drafting dept.

That's okay Shell, Clint hates it when I use loose glitter! LOL It's always on him and he doesn't even come in my room!

The loose glitter looks great! My 8 YO just recently did a card (in my gallery) with this same stamp, though yours is nicely colored and she didn't color hers at all.
