Hey,
I cut it close, but I made it!!
I really wanted to play along with the current Sunday Stamps challenge.
I made Top Cup at the last Sunday Stamps challenge, which was awesome and I was super pleased, this is one of the reasons I wanted to play along again. It's always nice to play along after a win or a mention, that's what makes the challenge community so nice.
The colours and the image really spoke to me and were a perfect match for one of my fave stamps sets - Mardi Gras by Avery Elle.
I heat embossed the mask onto purple paper, weirdly I thought I had some darker purple in my stash..I don't - mental note to buy more purple paper lol. I love Liquid Platinum embossing powder by Ranger, it is my fave - you get such a smooth finish. I die-cut the feathers out of gold and green glitter paper.
I have seen a lot of people recently creating backgrounds using strips of paper, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I didn't want too much gold, so used more black strips.
I decided to add a Tim Holtz sentiment strip and I think it worked out really well.
I am pleased with the end result, it came out exactly as I pictured it.

Oh, Claire, this is very fun, and very Mardi Gras, lol. Love that mask shape, and your bold stripey background, but what a great sentiment, too. Perfect! Thanks so much for playing at Sunday Stamps!
