Masquerade Greeting Card

Need ideas for making homemade cards?  Try this Masquerade Greeting Card from Fabrizio Martellucci that puts an unusual twist on the traditional greeting card.

Materials:

• "Italy Inspired Stamp, Stencil & Decoupage Kit" with Embellishments from QVC in the UK or a "Taste of Italy" kit from Card Craft Plus
• Metallic Rub-ons kit from CalicoCrafts.co.uk
• Faux gems (included in the kits)
• harlequin paper from Hot Off the Press
• white fabric flower cut in half

Instructions:

1. I used the thick black paper supplied in the Italy Inspired Stamp, Stencil & Decoupage Kit kit which embossed pretty easily.  It also has a linen paper texture.
    
2. I highlighted the raised embossed bit with Metallic Rub-ons kit from CalicoCrafts.co.uk.
    
3. The faux gems were also part of the kit and I embellished the corner of the mask.
    
4. The harlequin paper and white fabric flower cut in half are Hot Off the Press (HOTP).  I've noticed that Card Craft Plus do the elements of that kit separately - A Taste of Italy.
