I really like how this turned out. The focal image is part of a stand alone die set called Rugged Icons. I colored the elements very carefully and popped the finished piece up onto one of the squares in the Stylish Shapes set of dies- again stand alone. The masks are really fun -for this background I used the Gray Granite ink for each of the masks for a monochromatic look. The Artistic Mix Deco masks are new this year too.

in Other news- 

You should know that all the fun free goodies in the Sale a Bration brochure are only available while supplies last. Sadly the Pool Party and Sea foam cards and envelopes are already gone. Both sets of dies -the hippo dies and the tree lot dies are most likely the next item that will sell out. If these are something you want - be sure to get your order in soon!

I have set some calendar dates for September - so mark your calendars!
