This is my card for Jimmi's challenge - to be inspired by the the colors, artwork or lifestyle of the Moulin Rouge.
I admit I was a bit stumped at first. I looked at Toulouse Lautrec paintings on the internet and found one I really liked. It doesn't get more literal than what I ended up doing. I printed out the painting onto CS and then did the Cracked Glass technique on it (4 layers of UTEE, 5 minutes in the freezer, then cracked). I put this together with some coordinating CS that seem to be prominent colors from Moulin Rouge, added some ribbon and corners and that was it.
Hope this counts even though it wasn't stamped. I was inspired by Moulin Rouge for sure!

The embossed bg is beautiful on this. Great color combo. I like the way the cracked glass makes the painting look old. Great card for this challenge and thanks for playing!
