Circus! from C.C. Designs

Welcome back everyone! I have a super fun card to share using the new Circus Stamp set from C.C. Designs.

I’ve got to be honest, I’ve kind of been in a mojo funk. Mostly because summer is almost over and this is about the time the kids are bored lol .. but I’m so glad I pulled enough mojo together for this card. I love how bright and festive it turned out to be.

I took a piece of Neenah Solar white cardstock and stenciled in some balloons with Candied Apple, Mustard Seed, and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide. Each time I went to stencil a balloon, I masked off the other areas of the stencil with a post it note. Next, I stamped my image from the Circus stamp set using copic friendly ink. I probably should have done that the other way around but I wasn’t really sure how everything was going to come together. Thankfully it all worked out in the end.

I colored in the image with copic markers trying to use all colors of the rainbow. Next, I drew in some balloon strings coming from the balloon to the clown’s hands. I also added some detail to the balloons with a white gel pen. I trimmed down my cardstock to a thin panel and attached it a piece of striped patterned paper. 

The sentiment is embossed with white embossing powder onto black cardstock. I love how it just pops right off the card! So bright and festive! This really helped me in my funk. I hope you enjoyed it too!
