Woop Woop!!! So excited to be a part of this months Kiwi Lane Designs Blog Hop!
Not only do I get to work with their FABULOUS product...I get to keep it! :) Which is a good thing since I got GLUE all over it! Yep, the old fashioned Elmers kind!
~ lovin' my new SHADES ~
I received the Chestnut Drive designer templates for my project. After playing around with them for a few days I realized they looked EXACTLY like fingernail tips with an AWESOME mani! So I traced and cut my border strips, then slid the KLD template down half an inch and painted the tip with Elmers. After sprinkling liberally with glitter I left my border strips to dry. Here comes the best part...I threw my templates right in the kitchen sink and added a squirt of dishsoap, to clean them off! {We ain't too proud, folks.}
Here are the templates I received:
