For Susie's (PPS as opposed to Australia) challenge.
The time - LoveFest, back in February.
The place - Scavenger Hunt chat thread in the TCP member forum.
I was lamenting the fact that by the time my discretionary spending budget allowed me to put my first order in to TCP these cuties had retired. My all-time favourite TCP set and I don't even own it, sniff.
Chris (cveneruso) very kindly sent me some stamped images and I thought that Susie's challenge was the perfect occasion to use one of them up. Thanks, Chris!
Dug out some old Sizzix papers for this, patterned for the background, plain for cutting my chevrons. Coloured the image with pencils, sponged in some foreground. Layered onto black and added gel pen dots. Gems in the punched corners, Liquid Pearls on the chevrons.

Oh my gosh, Sabrina, I was so hoping someone would create a card with these funny little guys! Now, why in the world would TCP retire these happy little mariachi musicians?! I think we need a full fledged protest! LOL I love the color! We had the chance one evening while in Old Albuquerque to see some Mexican folk dancing and a huge 15 piece mariachi band - they were WONDERFUL! I dare you not to get up and just start dancing in front of the crowd! I know I did - seriously I did *hahahaha* Everyone cheered me on too *hahahah* Everybody loves a happy party! Thank you so much for thinking of me and playing my DTGD Challenge today.
