Introducing... Under the Big Top!

 

Welcome to Day Two of our January New Releases at Flourishes! We have your ticket to fun in this great set called, Under the Big Top! You’ll find our own company of trained animals, circus elements and a clown to give you a wonderful performance on your next celebration. This silhouette-style set illustrated by Lauren Pope measure 4 x 6 inches and includes 9 whimsical circus images and 3 sentiments for occasions far and wide.

The whimsical silhouetted images included in this new stamp set, "Under the Big Top" said to me "fun and colourful" so I set out to make a super simple yet almost child-like type card!

I used Flourishes' Classic White Cardstock to stamp all of my cute images on.  For my little banner, I used the "Hello" stamp sentiment from the "Bee My Honey" collection.  I used some "Peach Glow" cardstock form the Terra Cotta Color Made Easy Paper Collection for my card base.

For my elephant, I stamped my image 3 times using 3 different colours of ink: first in grey, then orange and red where I fussy cut the hat and saddle elements out and adhered them over top of the grey image.

I kept my colour bold and bright and my design pretty simple.  I actually used this week's card sketch for Splitcoaststampers for my design this week!
