The challlenges that led to my card are below and you click on the picture to go the website. I did not find a sketch that worked for me this time out...so I did as I pleased! It's not original I'm sure! A supply list will also be listed below. The inspiration photo is quite colorful, so this is probably one of the most colorful cards I have ever made. It looks better in person, but my watercoloring leaves much to be desired. I think I waited too late to learn this technique. My hand tremors a good bit, partly because of all the medicines I take for Mulltiple Myeloma and partly because of old age. I researched the harlequin jester and it is a tradition at Mardi Gras, which starts Mar. 1, this year. I just picked out some colorful paper and used a somewhat harlequin styled 3 D embossing folder. The composition of the jesters clothing contributed to my choosing the striped paper and adding texture with the embossing folder. I actually do like how colorful it is and I welcome your input. Thanks for stopping by! Smiles Kathy
Supplies:
SU CS: Basic White, Bermuda Bay

The challenge for Crafty Chicks is CAS ( I used a lot of color, but I tried to keep it clean)
Its a lovely card you have created and a really interesting concept on how you picked all the individual elements. Thanks for sharing it with us at Paper Fundays Challenge. Kate
