Living in Chicago (let's see, 50 degrees and rainy in June) I tend to look washed out. Anything to perk up my face and keep me from looking like I'm on the set of Twilight is appreciated. <br /><br />SO. A friend who has dazzling wonderful makeup always finally revealed one of her tip top secrets -- The Stila Champagne Glow eyeshadow trio. Lucky me, I found it at Sephora (Ulta was sold out, but check there with your coupon!) and I LOVE IT. I tend to revert to a preschooler trying to put on makeup, but even I couldn't mess this up. <br /><br />I highly recommend it. <br />Here's a link: <br /><a href="http://www.stilacosmetics.com/product_detail.asp?PMID=499&category_id=4&pos=1&viewall=yes">http://www.stilacosmetics.com/product_detail.asp?PMID=499&category_id=4&pos=1&viewall=yes</a><br />How can it be Sunday already?

I used my Stampin'up Parisian Summer pink designer paper to add in three frames for the background accent. A stamp of Fluffles using Stazon-black to make my image pop - and Boom! We're about done. Polished off with a pink pirhouette ribbon, also from Stampin up.<br /><br />Summary of goodies used:<br />Stamps: Fluffles, Stampendous<br />Ink: Stazon Black<br />Coloring: Prisma Colored pencils, using a blender pen to soften the colors<br />Background Paper: White and Black cardstock<br />Designer Paper: Stampin up, Parisian Summer<br />Ribbon: Stampin up, Pink Pirhouette<br /><br />Thanks for looking.
