Filed under Beads, Beauty & the Beast Kit, Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Laura Carson, Newsletters, Sale

Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Laura’s project that are still available on the new site.

Design Team Member Laura Carson has created a crazy colorful project: Midnight Masquerade – Girls Just Want To Have Fun! And not only is there a related new sale, but there’s a related new FREE Gift Kit!

NEW Carnival Iridescent Glass FREE Bead Mix! These kits are FREE for ALL orders, now through MONDAY night, March 20th, 2017 (or until the kits are gone)! Beautiful beads including Czech glass leaves and flowers! Lots of blues, purples, greens… see the wide photo below!

A BIG NEW SALE: Inspired by all the bling in Laura’s artwork: ALL Misc Beads and Flower/Leaves Beads are 50% off! Tons of pretty things: glass Czech beads! Over 150 items! The sale ends MONDAY night, March 20th at midnight PST (March 20, 2017). See below for a few highlights!


 


On to the artwork! Wow! Laura’s colorful creation started with the Midnight Masquerade papers (from the Beauty and the Beast Kit) and the Taj Mahal Triptych!

The scene depicts costumed masked ladies reveling the night away; who wouldn’t want to go to this party!

I think my favorites are the metal masks which are decorated with paint, (new!) rhinestones, glass glitter and feathers and the colorful steamers made from a high quality double sided dual color heavy weight crepe paper that can be stretched (not the thin kind you buy in rolls for parties).

(See close-ups of 2 of the decorated metal masks above right and below.)

Laura also created a new Bejeweled Moons Collage Sheet that she used in this project!

More info in Laura’s blog and/or see her supply list.
