Filigree Masquerade Mask

Oh, I'm attending a Masquerade Ball in a few weeks, so I thought I'd make a Mask to go with my lovely red long dress! I couldn’t find exactly what I was looking for in the Silhouette Cameo design store, so I thought I’d share with you how I made the mask using a simple shape and my Cameo design software.

First of all though, the Mask Recipe:

Paper & Card: Stardream Black, Red Pearlescent
Tools: Silhouette Cameo, Xyron Creative Station
Embellishments: Double satin ribbon 10mm, hand-made beaded Hat Pins, crystals, glitter, marabou feathers, dowel

I cut the three layers of the Mask using the Silhouette Cameo (more detailed instructions in my Filigree Masquerade Mask Tutorial), two layers in Stardream Onyx from Joanna Sheen and one layer from Red Pearlescent.  I put the top layer of the mask through my Xyron to add an even layer of adhesive and covered it in Art Institute black glitter. I layered this directly onto the middle mask and embellished with rhinestone crystals. I also added the feathers and hatpin to the back to this layer.



Before attaching these middle layer to the bottom layer of the mask, I shaped both with my bone folder, then used Pinflair glue gel to add dimension. I covered a length of 9mm dowel with black and red ribbon before glueing to the mask.
