I have been to the dentist today and feel rotten so this is a quick post....
The current challenge at the SSS Flickr Group is to use stencils. I do love my stencils....
I coloured some white cardstock with Worn Lipstick, Scattered Straw, Spun Sugar and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks and die cut the SSS balloons. I put versamark ink through the SSS Falling Stars and Diagonal Stripes stencils and then dusted them with Perfect Pearls in gold and blush. I did the same in the background and gold embossed the sentiment and stars from the SSS birthday set. The pearls give a subtle shimmer and interest.
I will also link up at SSS Wednesday Challenge which is Anything Goes and at Virginia's View Challenge which, this month, is distress.
Thanks for stopping by!
