Just got a stack of new stencils at the thrift store for $2.99, so I am vindicated for using one, tow, actually, the sun/mountain and the stars. I heat embossed the sentiment and the stars and the moon took on some shine as well. Mounted on a red border and an ivory speckled bg.

How great that you were able to put your new stencils to use so quickly. The moon stamp goes just perfectly with the stencilled sun. You're so great at heat embossing, at the moment it's an extra step I'm more likely to skip.

Your sun and moon design feels so vibrant with the way the bold stenciled shapes glow against the ivory speckled background, and the heat embossed sentiment and stars add such a polished shine while the red border frames the whole scene with strong contrast that pulls the celestial elements together in a bright uplifting way.
