Mardi Gras, Carnivale, Fat Tuesday.......however you call it, Mardi Gras is next week, so for this challenge I want you to use the 3 traditional colors of Mardi Gras, Purple, Yellow (gold) and Green! It can be any theme, but the 3 colors need to be predominant!
I love our new colors, Grape, and Lido from the Venetian Palette, they're perfect for this challenge!
I started with a Grass Cardstock card base. I used the Corner Chomper to round the corners of the card base. For the layers on the card, first I cut the grape, lido and grass card stock using the Nestabilities Labels 8 dies. I took the Venetian Patterned Lido, I cut a strip and then used the A Muse|Studio Medium Scallop Border on both edges. I adhered the Lime Satin Ribbon down the center of the Venetian Patterned Lido strip. On the layers I used my Quickie Glue Pen to apply diamond glitter to the grape and lime layers and lime glitter to the lido layer. On the smallest grass layer I stamped the crown from the Keep Calm stamp set with Versamark Ink and then embossed it with White Embossing Powder. To assemble, I used the Tombow tape runner to adhere the Venetian Patterned strip to the center of the card. I then layered the grape, and lido layers onto the front of the card using 3D Foam Squares, and the Grass layer using the tape runner. I stamped the saying "It's Good To Be Queen" from the Keep Calm set with Versamark Ink and embossed with White Embossing Powder. I then used Clear Twinkle stickers to add a bit more bling on the scallops and crown.
Here you can see how the layers are elevated;
Now let's see what you come up with. This weeks prize will be a selection of the new Venetian Palette Cardstock and Ribbon.

Alright then! I made a card and I confess to being inspired by another participants card. Nothing came to mind until I remembered I had this stamp and then it all feel into place. Fun colors to play with!
Thanks for the challenge and inspiration - I seldom use this color combination.
