Mardi Gras stamp set by Joy Clair. Hi crafty friends, today over at Joy Clair Stamps , we are having a stamp celebration with the Mardi Gras Stamp Set! The real celebration is the last day of this month but we are ready to start the party with you.

This stamp set is being featured by myself and another design team members. It is a perfect stamp that can be used for party invitations, big celebrations, theater and many more occasions. It can be paired with a lot of sentiments or die cuts or simply can be cut as SVG file.  In today’s project I used with a fun technique that I experimented with recently. Take a look at my card:

I created this over a perfect plum card base card stock and a whisper white background that I designed using the shaving cream and fireworks. In my project, I used three different colors of Fireworks: Lilac Posies, Dandelion, and Cantaloupe. Lightly mix the colors with a stick. Pass your paper over the foam and let the mix touch the paper. Remove the excess foam with a clean scrap of paper. Let it dry very well before continuing to work on the project.

When the paper was totally dry I stamped all masquerade images using Versamark and different types of WOW Embossing Powder with my MISTI (HLL & SS).  I used three different colors of WOW Embossing Powder Vintage Peacock, Royal Crush and Golden Flame and I complemented the work stamping some images with some classic ink Perfect Plum.

IMPORTANT: My best tip to always have a crispy embossing is to use a embossing buddy or anti static pad.

To complement the design, I used the sentiment from the stamp set Everyday Sentiments also from Joy Clair and I paste the decorated layer over the card base.

Fun and easy to make!
