The teaparty this week is for Kim, an almost 15 yo who is having a birthday..she's been through a lot in her young life so she deserves a fun day. I'm also using this for Merla's VSN challenge to use something new in your stash. I've had this Julie Nutting stamp for a few months but never used it. Today was the perfect excuse to get it out. My bg is made with distress inks applied to a craft sheet and then spritzed with water. I then used a stencil and sprayed a couple of distress spray stains over the top..the stenciling is subtle but I love how it looks. I then stamped some flowers on top of that.

Perfect reason for inking that stamp up Polly! Your beautifully colored girl looks perfect on that bg. I feel so boring, can't think of anything smart to say that beats your chicken dinner comment!

Polly, what a great card. Your bg is amazing. All that fussy cutting on the perfect stamp, I know Kim will love it. Thank you for coming to the party.

The paper piecing on the dress is very sweet.
