Adhesive gems and pearls
Tim Holtz idea-ology salvage stickers – destinations
Distress Ink pad in Vintage Photos

Prima Moulin Rouge 6x6 paper pad

Method:

Mat the carnival paper from the pad onto the 6x6 blank card.
Print a mask onto coconut card and cut out.
Cover the mask with blending solution and drop each of the alcohol inks until you are happy with the pattern.  Leave to dry.
Stamp the postcard onto coconut card with Vintage Photos and cut out, attach the old USA stamp and the Louisiana sticker from the destinations booklet.
Attach sticky fixers to each end and the middle of the back at the edge of the mask under the eyeholes.  Position as in the photo which will make the mask bend upwards slightly in the middle and then stick down at the base of the mask so it is 3-dimensional.
Add pearls to the swirls on the edges of the paper.
