This January the Stampendous catalog has lots of fun stamps and stencils to offer, so we thought we would share some of the exciting fun! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this new stamp Feminine Face. I had a fun technique that I thought would work great with Dreamweaver Graduated Dot Stencil. She was so much fun to color, and I think one of my favorite ways to use clear embossing paste is to add some of the Stampendous Micro Glitter!

As I scrolled down and saw this gorgeous creation I had to stop and stare at it for a few minutes while saying WOW very softly (almost reverently)! This is mesmerizing and enchanting! I love the greens around the lovely face!
Definitely going to need to add this stencil to my toolbox! TFS!
