Shades of Mardi Gras

Happy Mardi Gras!  (I say with a confident tone, even though I have never celebrated the holiday!)

Today the girls at Clear and Simple Stamps are celebrating with color:  purple, green, gold, and neutrals.


The first card uses the cute new mini envelope die- I used vellum so you can see the fun confetti!

The window was created by cutting the edger die twice.  I threaded some of the confetti (cut with a hole punch) to make a pseudo abacus.



Don't forget to visit the rest of the DT!!

    These cards make me so happy Jen! I love the confetti flying everywhere on the first one, but the abacus idea is such a clever one too!

    Helau to you too! Glad the "fifth season" as they call it here in Germany is over. The abacus - brilliant. I'm already alerting you I'll probably be doing this with sequins...
