A couple of weeks ago, my gf Ruby had asked me if I could help her with creating a mask for her n her hubs for a masquerade party they were invited to. Of course I jumped on it!!! :) I was thinking of going to Party City, purchasing some feathers, and paint and, and, and.... then I thought, why not use what I already have ON HAND!!! Right?? So quick to jump on wanting to purchase NEW things, but yet forget about using what I already HAVE!!! So, I started looking online for mask ideas... I found a couple of SVGs to create masks, and then I found
this blog post by Okie Ladybug, where she used the butterfly from the Indie Art Cricut Cartridge to create with!!! Oh so pretty!! So I CASED her work, and piggy backed on her idea. I used the same butterfly, and created my gf's mask. Then for her hubby's mask,I search online again for a mask that would be fairly masculine. Kinda hard to find.... I wanted it to be nice looking, and not dorky looking. So I found one that was in between, I call it the "stealth look"!! LOL... I cut the butterfly mask on my Cricut Cartridge using Cricut's Design Studio and Indie Art cartridge. I cut the stealth mask on my eClips machine, using my eCal program. So LOVE that I can utilize both machines for different reasons, yet the same!!! KWIM?
Thanks for peeking!!!!
