I created my own stencil buy die cutting the Falling Stars die on a clear acetate sheet for the background, and after mixing in a little silver paint to white embossing paste, I sprinkled on some clear glitter while the paste was still wet. I colored the image (also brand new) with Copics, added Enamel Accents to the eyes and stamped the sentiment on a SSS banner.
Here is a close-up of the sparkly stars:
Well, that’s it for me ~ I hope everyone is doing well! Take care, and thanks so much for stopping by!
