It is February. HOW did this happen? Well to celebrate I pulled out my cracked pistachio distress (yeah, all the forms) and played.
I’ve been watching Princess & The Frog (one of the BEST of Disney movies… which is saying something!) and this color got me thinking… Mardi Gras! So lots of distress on the background then also cracked pistachio paint on the metal accent up top and a few playful do-dads here and there. It’s party time alright!
Cracked Pistachio = so awesome. Here’s a short video I made with a look at the forms and why I love it so…
Carnival / Mardi Gras is exactly what I was thinking when I saw your beautiful tag! after I read how you were inspired by the Princess and the Frog I totally could see it!
So inspiring. Loved the video, love the color, beautiful tag. The colors go together so well. Michelle t
Hooray!! It’s party time! Love the new color and how you brought it to life in this fun tag 🙂

Cheers to Tim May! Your tag is stunning! Love how you showcased the beautiful cracked pistachio! The shimmery detail adds a great touch!
I’m so excited about Cracked Pistachio- and you made it look wonderful! I especially like how you incorporated the beaded garland embossing in the background to mimic Mardi Gras beads. Clever, clever!
Such a great tag!
Awesome tag! Love the New Orleans Mardi Gras look!
Love the beautiful texture and colors on your tag, May. Such a fabulous tag! 🙂
Your tag really exudes Mardi Gras! You have created with the perfect colours, the beads banner and FDL charm at the top and your cluster of beads buttons from that detailed brooch at the bottom is perfect!
Must check out that new TH colour 🙂
