Freehand silhouette painting I did with sequins!
In celebration of Mardi Gras I fixed some photos from my friend Serena’s Mardi Gras 25th birthday and the paintings I did to decorate her house… I think I am doing pretty well teaching myself Photoshop and have just discovered actions! Exciting! Hope you enjoy and CHEERS!
A Quarter of a Century old and fabulous! I made her a 3d mask painting 🙂
Masks Serena, Nathan and I made for the festivities.
Serena, me and Jessica- our favorite blonde who finally moved back from Hawaii!
Me & The Birthday Girl!
Wouldn't be Mardi Gras without beads!

Shots for Serena at Midnight!

Thanks to the blog Pioneer Woman for help with learning Photoshop actions!

Here’s hoping it still does when the paintings are fully cured!
Wish me luck!

…and this photo is just a shout out to my second favorite wall in our home…
After painting our entry way red, we “cobblestoned” it with a darker shade- and my #1 favorite is my lime green wall in our bedroom if you were wondering! 🙂
