Today's card was made for the Mothermark Tea Party challenge that takes place on Splitcoast Stampers. This week the party is taking place in New Orleans Mardi Gras style, and my contribution is King Cake.
(click to enlarge)
I used some Mardi Gras colors of green, gold, and purple. The image I used is The Party Thing that Rich Davis drew, but before I printed it I erased the wording.
The sketch is from Christmas and Birthday cards challenge this week, and since this is a birthday card it qualifies!
I colored the image with copic markers and used some gold ribbon. The words are from clearly Wordsworth. The gold around the image is cut from the top of a bakery box and matched the ribbon perfectly!
I wish you all a happy day and thanks for looking!

Now that's a happy card!! Had me going there for a sec......thought YOU were going to N'awlins!!
oh is this super. looks like she'll definitely find that baby in that king cake - good luck you know!
She sure looks like she is having fun at the Mardi Gras. I like your ribbon treatment.
New Orleans is a beautiful place to visit but I can't imagine being there during the Mardi Gras crowds.
This transplanted Cajun thinks your card rocks!!!
ALthough we are into the Lentin season now, the Saints win in the Superbowl kind of added to the Mardi Gras celebrations this year. I sure did miss the KING CAKE though. So just cut me off a slice of yours!!! :O)
