SOC Bloggers Challenge: "This or That"

Hey everyone! Hope you're doing well! I'm stopping in with a new bloggers challenge! This time, it is a "This or That" theme--meaning that you have TWO great themes to pick from! Can you guess from the pictures posted below? Our themes are:

 Mardi Gras ~OR~ Masks and Stencils!

It's Mardi Gras season, so go wild with this challenge! There are many ways to work with this one--use it as a color challenge with the purple, green, and gold! Or approach it as "anything goes" by using masks, stencils, fleur de lis, beading and more on your scrapbook pages, cards and mixed media/altered art projects!! And if you have a drawn image wearing a "mask," that counts too! 

After you finish your creation and post it to your blog, add a direct link to your creations in the comment section below, to the Bloggers Challenge forum over on SOC, or in the gallery so we can find your creations easily! From all of the projects posted, you will have the opportunity to have your creation/blog featured here, and on the SOC Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter pages! (Please note that only blogs with the SOC Badge displayed will be posted.) 

I can just FEEL the fun y'all will have with this Mardi Gras theme! But before you get started, take a look at some wonderful projects from our Valentine's Day challenge:
