There is another fun challenge over at Words 2 Craft By this month. The quote is from Mark Twain about Mardi Gras. I do love the colors of the celebration and I tried to incorporate them into my card. I love all the costumes (some outrageous). I used a stamp from Dylusions (Dyan Reavelry) and gold embossed it (one of the colors of Mardi Gras) and watercolored with distress inks. I die cut a bunch of little flowers to give her an amazing hat.
This was totally out of my comfort zone. But I loved every minute of how it took on its own flavor. Lots of sparkle and shine! The glitter paper is from DCWV and I also used Wink of Stella glitter markers on her lips and eyebrows.
Thanks so much for stopping by and Let the Good Times Roll!
Anne, This is one great Mardi Gras card… and that flower hat is such fun! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Words 2 Craft By. We always love seeing your craftiness in our galleries. 🙂
Thank you Sybrina. This one really challenged me and I loved it.
What a perfect Mardi Gras card, Anne – I love it! I’ve never been but this is what I would expect to see 🙂 That stamp of Dyan’s is so cool, perfect for your theme, and I love her “hair”! Great job with your colors and glitz and glitter! Thank you so much for joining us at Words 2 Craft By for our “Celebration/Mardi Gras” theme!!
Thank you so much Marty!
