Deco Foil Adhesive Options - This fancy foil looks amazing over my Van Gogh Starry Spirals Mask! I followed along the spirals with the adhesive with both the pen and the squeeze top applicator, here's what I liked best about both.

NEW! For the Birds 5x7 Masks
For Today’s Tidbit, I am using my NEW For the Birds set of four whimsical 5x7 masks (designed by me and produced by Joggles) to create a cutout shape on brown craft card stock that I will embellish with my Posca paint markers and cut out to tuck into colorful envelopes. The brown craft card stock is great for die cutting and you can add a hand-written note to the back.

Curvilinear and Geometric Layering

Never Say Never! Painted TISSUE Paper
