Venice Carnival - The Paper Shelter

Good morning everyone, meant to post this last night for the new The Paper Shelter challenge which this week is 'Alter something or a card with 3 or more folds'.  I'm not really into altering things so I went with a 3 fold stepper card and used 'Venice Carnival'.

My mojo has certainly been on holiday last week, and I did have some commissioned cards to complete which were too similar to ones I have already posted to post again, yep, they saw them and wanted them, and isn't always the case that those were the ones I had already sold !.

Today's card nearly didn't appear either. I had completed it and left it lying for the pinflair glue to dry and a little later I heard a strange flapping noise.  When I went to investigate it was my cat trying to get the feathers off the masks...... she has a thing about feathers... fortunately she hadn't done too much damage, but a couple of the feathers are a little tatty.

I was delighted to see I have 4 new followers, welcome to Donna, Chanelle, Bridie and Halina and oooooo they makes some beautiful cards.

Anyway onto today's card.

Veronica has coloured up this image so beautifully that I decided to use her version and decoupaged the image. It doesn't really show in the pictures but it is in 3 layers. After finishing it I wished I had added a fancy frame around her instead of just rounding off the corners.  The masks were 'found' on the internet and I just added bling and feathers from my stash.

I added diamond stickles around her frame

I hope you will enter this weeks challenge where of course Veronica and Pedro offer $30 to spend in the store if you use a TPS image and 3 images of your choice with any other.  The other DT members have made some beautiful cards and creations for your inspiration do pop over and see them.

Watch this space for some exciting news coming soon about The Paper Shelter.

Thanks for taking the time to look
