Silhouettes and Masks

Good morning everyone!! I am having a wonderful lazy day....I'm still in my pj's and had cookies for breakfast...Whoohoo!!! I need to look busy, though, because my DH is working out in the yard and I KNOW if I get *not busy* he will find something for me to do...yikes!!! See my fingers fly...LOL!!! Anyway...on to business...
The Ways to Use It challenge on Splitcoast yesterday was to use orange. Since I LOVE orange, this was an easy one for me!! The Bitty Botanicals from Clear Dollar Stamps were stamped on the Basic Grey Sugar Rush dp with Basic Gray ink and the sentiment is from Clear Dollar Stamps Christian Sympathy set. The bottom edge was embossed with a border folder and silver pearls and ribbon finish it off. This will go to a church friend who lost her son on Tuesday.

This was made Wednesday for the Sketch Challenge on Splitcoast and Mothermark's Teaparty. We are going to Mardi Gras...whoohoo!!!! I took a few liberties with the sketch so I could make the image fit. I used the Mardi Gras Mask from Rubbernecker...stamped it 3 times, colored with copics, cut out the layers from each image and layered them to make one image. I added Yellow Stickles to the little stars on the image and colored the large chipboard stars with Copics. Ribbon and a mask charm are the finishing touches. Now I'm off to find all the other teapotters....I'm sure they are sampling the tea and Bertie is undoubtly flinging beads...yikes!!!
