**CARNIVAL** Card For All Seasons IG Hop

Welcome to the Card For All Seasons IG hop hosted by @createwithkas.  This is Week Five and our theme is CARNIVAL!!!  Soon as I saw the word masks in the idea list for the hop, I knew that I wanted to make something inspired by Fifty Shades of Grey.

This card was actually created using several layers of glitter and foil cardstock, and that fabulous mask image was actually the cover sheet on a pack of glitter paper.  I love reusing things and it's just working fabulously for this hop.

**MY FAVORITE HOP** Favorite Fun Fold

Happy Sunday everyone!  It's time another My Favorite Hop on Instagram hosted by @sarae.furr_thecraftyfarmchick.  This week our theme is Favorite Interactive Card!

My favorite is definitely an easel card.  It had been awhile since I'd made one and this was so fun.  This paper is from Spain and isn't it just GORGEOUS??!  I'm getting serious live action BATB vibes rather than the cartoon and I'm totally here for it!

This image, though CLEARLY Belle, also gives slight Ever After vibes, right?? The painting?  You see it too, don't you?

I thought that sentiment was perfect for the prettiest princess.

The rose in the cloche, I love it.  Super sentimental for me.

I wanted to show the whole inside of the card where I put a space to write.
