Clown Face

I created this fun, bright clown card using the new Send in the Clowns stamps! I used Copic markers to color the clown. The background paper & strips at the base of the card were created with various stamps from the set, then colored with Copic markers. I'll post directions and photos on my blog.

Send In The Clowns

The entire time I was creating These cards I was humming that famous Circus song, You know the one I mean. These stamps were so fun to play with. You can download a free template to make your own circus train. Find it on the Artistic outpost website. I just Love this big ol clown. I added liquid applique to make the popcorn pop.

Butterfly Moments

The butterfly frame from Tattered Angels sprayed with Dreamsicle Glimmer Mist inspired me to create this card. It's just perfect to use with the Happiness stamps. For the background, I repeatedly stamped the lacey butterfly over cream paper with Adirondack Stonewashed ink. (See detailed directions on my blog.)Then I rubbed Distress Broken China over it. I chose the colors to coordinate with the girl image which I had already colored with Copic markers.

For this quick card I used the little butterfly from Happiness. The background is from the Mini-Masterpiece set. "Thinking of you" is from Bluebird. To created the colors, I applied ink directly to each stamp randomly using Adirondack Stonewashed, Butterscotch, Wild Plum and Stream. Then I misted it lightly & stamped the image. I added touches of glitter with Spica markers.

There Ought to be Clowns

Clown outfits have such fun colors! Here I used some Basic Grey papers to add a colorful outfit to my clown from the Send in the Clowns plate.
