The Circus is in Town



 Roll Up Roll Up! Come and visit the circus ...it's the greatest Show on Earth

Oh no that was the Clarity show last week! Wasn't it a great show...Barbara was certainly on top form with her demos. I found myself glued to the screen on all of them and held my breath on one...I'll let you guess which it was!

Anyway I thought I would start to share my samples with you from the show. and start with the circus set.

I do like this set and I just know it will be great for men and children as well as female friends so a really useful set!

Here is one of the cards I made with it.

 

I wanted to make a card that would allow a little surprise to reflect what you get when you go to the Circus. So I started off by making the central flap. Having played about with the stamps I discovered that the circus word would make a nice circular border that the clowns face fitted into. I added the little red dot in between each word just to separate them out. I brushed ink around the edge to finish that part off.

The next stage was to make the main topper. I wanted to be able to see the tall ring master with the flap down as well as up so I cut the card long enough to do that and stamped the ringmaster in place twice. I put feint pencil lines to show where my flap would be covering and then stamped the underneath part.
Here it is.

I then coloured in the images with promarkers before I attached the flap and then mounted it onto black card then onto a red card blank.

Well thats all from me for today. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Happy Crafting
