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.

Polly this is so beautifully done. Love your Prima doll and your wonderful coloring of her too. Super stunning BG you added her to making her pop perfectly on your card.

YOu are so right it IS a PERFECT time to get that stamp out. It's so cute. Love the outfit you created for her with your piecing, and groovy bg. I never think of making my own bgs. this is so fun for a 15 year old. Kim will so love it...she is all ready for the big party...TFs..:0)
