I love New Orleans and have been there several times, but never during Mardi Gras.... it's one of those things on my to-do list! My card features some of the wonderful Mardi Gras images from Carnival Dreams. I decided to get all artsy and shabby with this one. First, I embossed the main image with some seriously glittery gold embossing powder from Zing! This stuff means business! Then I pulled out my tiny Cotman watercolor set and colored in the image. Here's a little close-up so you can see the sparkle:
The background panel is some of Tim's Distress Ink Core'dinations paper, run through a fleur de lis embossing folder and sanded. I added a bit of gold Stickles to the harlequins. I also diecut a green fleur de lis, and punched a little tag with the sentiment. Some funky trim finishes it off - perfect for a Fat Tuesday party invite!
Now, for a little enabling... here's the announcement direct from the Queen Rogue herself:

The colours are perfection for the theme of the stamps, with a touch of mystery surrounding it.
