Mardis Gras season refers to events of the carnival celebrations
beginning on or after Epiphany and ending on Shrove Tuesday. Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday”
referring to the practice of the last night of eating before fasting for Lent.
Mardi Gras is celebrated in many countries but New Orleans
is probably the most famous with
music, parades, picnics and floats. The actual Mardis Gras Day is on
Shrove Tuesday and everyone wears purple, green and gold and they are
adorned with long
beads which they beg from the floats as they pass by.
Masquerade balls are also held during January and February so this is my take on an entry ticket.
Items from J&C Creations:
Ranger tag
Adirondack Alcohol inks in Butterscotch, Purple Twilight and
Clover
Adirondack Blending
Solution
Purple, Emerald Green and Golden Yellow ribbons
Ranger
Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi-Medium – in Matte
As
masks are required for the balls, I also made this one using a papier
mache mask as a base. I have posted details for making this and the
ticket on my blog.
Take care...Pauline
