Fancy Dress

Here's my postcard for Sunday Postcard Art. The theme was Mardi Gras, and since I have been wanting to do something with the stuff from our NOLA visit, this was a good start. It's my first attempt at a postcard, and with embossing, hence you can barely make out the fleur de lis stamp in the bottom left corner.

I repurposed one of those subscription postcards that always fall out of magazines, an idea I got from a craft book by Mark Montano. The girlie in her Carnival outfit is Laura from one of the most beautiful Creole Plantations outside of New Orleans.

Haven't quite figured out the scanner yet.
