The making of a Mardi Gras Mask

This is for my daughter's birthday present. She is crazy about New Orleans. All supplies can be found at Hobby Lobby. The spools of colored rhinestones can be purchased at Michaels. The stencil I used was from Stampin' Up! several years ago. Design your own artful mask. I show you how I made this mask with step by step photos. I loved my daughter' reaction to her gift.

You nailed it! Love how it turned out. .. and know your daughter loved it! Aren't those the most fun projects to work on? So glad you are having some crafty time!

Thank you, Jann. This was an enjoyable experience. The best was seeing and hearing my daughter's reaction. That made it all worth it. My family are the guinea pigs when it comes to stretching my artistic skills :D and my imagination. So glad they don't look for perfection :D Love you - Leslie

OK, first let me say WOWWWW!! Secondly, WOWWWWWWWW! Your mask is simply stunning! So many intricacies & details, yet your process made it look easy to create. Mardi Gras? Sure. But I totally picture it being worn at a sophisticated Venetian "carnevale" celebration … so elegant & stunning! Thanks so much for sharing & for the inspiration! I just love it! :)
