Make-up card

This is a card for a very glamorous friend of mine, who nevertheless is very kind about my scrappy efforts! It's an excellent card for using up scraps of card, paper and fabric. The white palette for the 'eyeshadow' and the case for the 'lipstick' are made from an old shower curtain as it's slightly shiny and plastic-y. The brush is actually the stripe from the leg of an old pair of tracksuit bottoms, and the brush end is from the padding of a hat, both courtesy of the rag-bag. The makeup itself can be made from any suitably coloured card, paper or fabric, and further adornments can be any old leftover glitzy bits really.
I now have a mammoth task on hand. A couple of friends who are getting married have asked me, for their present, to hand-make them something useful. As the only things I can claim to make remotely tolerably are cards, that's what they're getting; thank you cards will prove useful after a wedding, and I'll do some other kinds too. So now I just need to clone myself a couple of times so that I'll have enough hours in the day....
Much love,
