The MASKerade!

This fun layout is as spunky as the girl in the picture!  Her dad had gone to New Orleans on business and brought her home this mask.  First thing she did was put it on and show her stuff!  I found the perfect colors to accent this fun memory!

Starting with sprays from Art Anthology, I covered ¾ of the page with Plush and the remaining with Timeless (yellow). 

Using these as the main background I started creating my picture boarder with Art Anthology's Velvet Dimensional Paint Fiesta.  As I added the little blings, I noticed the crowns needed a kick, so using my fingers, I added some Dimensional Crystal named Campaign to give the white some depth and sparkle.
  
Everything was glued down with Glossy Accents and left to dry.  What a beautiful layout made using only these four colors!

A Messy Manic Monday: Gift card envelope

Where did the weekend go?  It is Monday evening already and I did NOT get NEARLY as messy as I had hoped this weekend, but I did make a quick little gift card envelope for some thank you gifts I had to pass out...

 

I know you can buy these in the store, but taking the five minutes out of my day to make this was SO MUCH more effective.  I started with a cute chevron paper bag, and used one of the new

 Heidi Swapp stamps and ink to say #thankyou  The ink color I used was Teal blue.

Next I used some soft lace ribbon to tie the bow. 

 

Finally I attached it with some Glossy Accents and stuffed it full!

(sorry for the blur but THEY WALKED IN!!!)

 

Have a GREAT WEEK!  Be messy!
