This month, our required supplies were Fancy Pants transparencies, Fancy Pants ghost shapes, and doodling templates! I'm not a big fan of transparencies, but after using them a bit and seeing some of the lovely things the other ladies made with them, I feel like I want to give them more of a chance. The ghost shapes and doodling template weren't as difficult for me to use.
My ghost shapes had lots of hearts and the likes (including a giant heart, which I loved) so I decided to do a layout of myself with my lovely boyfriend, Logan.
The transparency can be seen in the bottom left corner as a green border around the picture. The ghost shapes were pretty fun, and they include the two green pieces- the large one on the right edge and the little one in the top left. I simply painted the underside of them in a really messy fashion to mimic the transparency piece and to create balance. The button heart is also a ghost shape, painted pink and then with various shapes, sizes, and shades of pink buttons glued on top. The doodling template was used to create the dotted circles, which were done with acrylic paints.
We also had challenges. The challenges that I completed were hand journaling, use paint, and use buttons (boy did I!).
