Happy Mardi Gras! It's my day to share a project created for Topflight Stamps. In honor of the holiday, I decided to create a slimline card featuring a Drinks Cart Parade using the Happy Hour Clear Stamp Set 476 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create.

Stamping Platform
Instructions:
- Cut a piece of black cardstock to 9.25" x 8". Score at 4" and fold to form a slimline card. Set aside.
- Cut a piece of white cardstock to 8.5" x 4".
- Use magnets to secure the cardstock to the base of a stamping platform positioned all the way to the left and flush with the bottom of the platform.
- Position the drinks stamp facedown on the image panel so that the right edge of the stamp is at the 8.5" mark.
- Press the platform's lid onto the back of the stamp and lift.
- Ink the stamp with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and stamp. Re-ink and stamp if necessary for a good impression.
- Keeping the stamp in the same position, slide the paper ~1.75" to the right being sure to keep the paper against the bottom base of the platform.
- Reposition the magnets to ensure that the image panel does not move.
- Re-ink the stamp and stamp. Repeat if necessary.
- Repeat Steps 7 - 9 three more times until you have a row of drink carts!*
- Add a strip of Wishy-Washi Washi Tape 19 by Janet Klein to the base of the image under the carts' wheels.
- Use one of the dies from the No Frills Plain Slimline dies to cut the image panel then edge it with Midnight Black Prism Ink.
- Use E30, E31, and BG72 Copic markers to add the background behind the drinks carts.
- Use BV20 to add shadows around the images.
- The background still needed a little something, so I used Butterscotch Prism Ink to repeatedly stamp one of the background stamps from the Voyager Clear Stamp Set 198 by Olga Heldwein for AALL and Create along the top.
- Computer generate and print the sentiment onto beige vellum.
- Use a banner die to cut the sentiment.
- Fold the sentiment and adhere to the image panel.
- Use the largest die from the Stitched Slimline Die Set to cut violet patterned paper to become the card front.
- Cut a piece of harlequin patterned paper (Venetian Carnevale) from the Midnight Masquerade 8x8 pad to 3.5", then cut into three pieces.
- Use Midnight Black Prism Ink to edge the card front and all three pieces of the harlequin patterned paper.
- Adhere the three pieces of harlequin patterned paper to the card front.
- Adhere the image panel die-cut to card front as shown.
- Adhere the card front to the reserved slimline card.
Thanks for visiting today!
Notes:
- Having a nice orderly row of drink carts makes my inner Virgo chortle with glee. Chortling is a good thing.
- Retrospectively, I should have colored all the bottles differently so that there would be a wider variety of drink choices. Clearly my inner Virgo was in control of the coloring process.
- Having a parade of drink carts makes me happy especially since I'm finally finished with all those antibiotics and am beginning to feel more normal or what passes for normal with me.
