Mardi Gras

 This card is for the Crash Your Stash challenge at The Outlawz, it's one of the few I enter the challenge instead as part of the Design Team. The current challenge is to use Texture Paste on a card.  You can't buy anything for the challenge, it must all be from your stash.  I had purchased two different types of Ranger Texture Pastes a while ago and never used them, of course.  The first one I used was transparent.  I tried it with a stencil and it was like a slightly thickened soup.  Needless to say it was all over the place, including under the stencil.  So I did what all crafters do, I went to YouTube to figure out how to use it.  Well, I found out the transparent was the wrong texture paste for what I wanted to do, but fortunately, I had also purchased the opaque.  The opaque was exactly what I needed.  I colored the texture paste with Brusho Crystal Colours.  Finally, success!  The image I used was from Cute as a Button.  That was also a previous purchase.  I colored the image with Copic markers.  I cut a thin shish kebab stick in half to make the rod and attached a crown charm to it.  I am amazed that I was actually able to complete this card.  I'm usually just a color and glue gun person.

 I am entering this card in the following challenges:
