2013 Artisan Design Team - Artisan Wednesday Wow - An "Unexpected"

Hi! Welcome Back!

HOLY COW!!! What an AMAZING week of projects - you are FOR SURE going to want to check out all of the projects this week - this team is BRINGIN' IT!

Every Wednesday for the next year, the 2013 Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team will be bringing you FUN, new, exclusive projects - shared here on our blogs. Are you looking forward to it as much as we are???? I know we sure hope so! Maybe you just came from Jane's blog - that girl ROCKS! If not, make sure you follow the hop all the way around to check out all 10 projects!

The day I sat down to work on these projects, I was REALLY in a "something other than a card" mode. Everything I made was some sort of home decor it seemed. I'm really not sure what tiny corner of my brain came up with this - but I am sure glad I did - I LOVE IT

I googled a pattern for a party hat and masquerade mask, printed them, cut them out and adhered them to the Essentials Designer Series Paper, then cut them out again and started embellishing!

I think I have a renewed addiction to Black Embossing Powder lately.....

See the little bat???? Well, he started his life as a Butterfly punch!!! I just used me small circle punch and punched away some of his wings and Voila!

About half way through wrapping that dowel I began to realize I had lost my mind. The feathers came from the Feathered Woodcuts in MDS and were cut out with my Silhouette. Lots of black glitter!!!
