I created this colorful card yesterday for celebrating Cinco de Mayo. It is perfect for this week's Teapot Challenge, MMTPT353- "Color My World".... as Ive got an exlosion of happy bright colors going on here.
This Fiesta came together with a combination of fun precision cutting dies by Frantic Stamper. I wanted it to look festive, just like a little Mexican Fiesta! Viva Mexico! The top Border Banner was made with the Bracket edger and the Dream Catchers to resemble a decorative Mexican Paper Banner, aka; "Papel Picado Mexicano".
This card helps with Imagining being at a Mexican Fiesta full of Colors, Food, and HOT Stuff! So Im entering this into this month's Dirty Dozen Central Theme too: "Imagine That", CT0415.
Paper: Michael's Recollections Polkadot Pack, White CS, MM Reds
Paper Size: 5x7
Ink: Stampin' Up! Greens and Reds (for sponging Peppers and stamping sentiment)
Accessories: Spellbinders Circle Dies, Creative Memories Circle Punches, Spellbinders EF, Paper Studio Circle Gemstones, Rhinestones, Martha Stewart Glitter; Frantic Stamper Precision Dies; Chilli Peppers; Native Pot & Cactus; Stitched Bracket Edger; Dream Catcher
