MAY MYSTERY BOX at RED EARTH SCRAPPING


Hi everyone,

Can you believe we have hit MAY? So on the 1st of the month, it is time for me to reveal the May Mystery Box challenge that I create for RED EARTH SCRAPPING each month.

MAY MYSTERY BOX CHALLENGE
Create a layout or card using the following ingredients:
* Misting with masks - you should try to use two different types of masks
* Stitching of some kind - machine, hand or even hand-doodled is fine
* Strips of paper
* Hand written journalling - preferably lots of it!
Remember you can add your own pantry staples, but you must stick to the core ingredients as much as possible!

So today I would like to share this layout...

I used new Crafters Workshop masks - both the hearts (in stock) and chicken wire (currently out of stock, but Helen is getting more!)
I handstitched around the masked hearts (I love this!)
Used lots of paper strips - left overs from the layouts I created last week with Patterned Paper
Plus I did lots of journalling.
Letters: Prima
Embellishments: Handmade Halo Pebble, Handmade Halo Wooden Button, MME button and pins, Prima flowers I stole out of the April SUNSHINE kit.

So please join us this month.... I would LOVE to see what you cook up! Load your completed projects into the RES gallery by the end of the month for some great in store vouchers!
Thanks,
Amanda
