Garnish Your Margarita

Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you ready for a new Fun Friday challenge at Your Next Stamp? Challenge #176 is "Face Your Fears"! Make sure you let us know what FEAR you are facing? A color combo? A technique? A spider? A Monster on your card?
I used the Crafty Cocktails stamp set and created my background using Distress Oxide Squeezed Lemonade, ink splatters, and my FEAR... GLITTER! I'm always so nervous about using glitter on projects because it can get everywhere! However, using the yellow glitter paste with the Fruit Slice Stencil was an easy clean up.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your crafty fear?
A: Me? Glitter

Supplies:
Your Next Stamp Crafty Cocktails Stamp Set
Your Next Stamp Fruit Slice Stencil
Your Next Stamp Stitched Rectangle Frames Die Set
Your Next Stamp Stitched Fishtail Banner Die Set
