Mardi Gras

We are celebrating Mardi Gras over at the Joy Clair blog.  Be sure to head over to see more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.

For my card I used some distress oxides along with the Chain Breaker set. This set although it was designed for bible journaling is versatile and can be used for cards and scrapbook pages as well.

I started with a white top folding card base and a panel of Bristol paper cut down with a stitched die. Using the Original MISTI to help me get a clean image, I stamped the greeting and the chain, then masked it off. I used Mowed Lawn, Wilted Violet and Squeezed Lemonade to create the background and then spritzed water over it. I removed the masking from the chain image and then colored it using Copic Markers.
