My local scrapbook store (live.love.scrap) is having a weekend crop next weekend in honor of Mardi Gras. What better way to celebrate than to make a festive mask for the party. I decided to make the butterfly shape in hopes of an earlier spring. Although we're expecting snow in the next few days, a girl can sure hope for warmer days. I mostly used my Martha Stewart 1" circle die punch for the wings and when the wings got narrower, I used my Stampin' Up scallop punch. Lots of scrap paper in my stash, so this was a great way to cut and paste for a beautiful end result. I used Prima rhinestone swirls around the eyes and some peacock feathers for the eyelashes. A little bauble edging and some ribbon and viola...a party mask fit for a queen.

Thanks for stopping by to visit me, thought I'd do the same! I've never been to Mardi Gras (or NO for that matter) but this is exactly what I imagine it would be like - lots of colors & tons of fun.
Oh, and I thought that mirror was *way cool* - project 52? :)
oh wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(sorry to be repetitive...but everything i've seen today has truly made me say, "OH WOW" in my head...apparently i cannot process gorgeousness and access my mental thesaurus at the same time!)
this is truly amazing in a number of ways, but mostly, i'm impressed that you've used SCALLOP LAYERS to such magnificent effect...yet another case of "simple" and PLAIN being two totally different things!
Wow -you're going to be the belle of the ball- love your mask!
