Materials:

• Wood mask - flower shape (pre-prep by base coating with acrylic paint color of your choice)

• Decorative scissors - scalloped cutting edge
• Aleene’s Memory Glue

Instructions:

1. Place the mask face down onto wrong side of the scrapbook paper. Trace outline and eye holes with pencil. Cut out with scissors. Spray the back side of the paper with the Aleene’s® Tacky Fast Grab Spray and place onto the prepared wood mask. Press out any air bubbles.
    
2. Cut a 4-¾” circle from the remaining paper. Place onto center of the mask and trace eye onto the paper and cut out. Cut scalloped edge with the decorative scissors. Repeat the spray glue as above, and place in the center of the mask by lining up the eye holes.
    
3. Cut assorted ¾” circles, cheek curlies, lips, nose, brows, white for eye, and black for lashes from the solid colors of scrapbook papers. Glue into place using the Aleene’s® Memory Glue.
