Today I have a card for the Inspiration challenge at Lily Pad Cards. My card was inspired by the carnival theme. Some of my best childhood memories were at the carnival, getting on the fun rides and having a try at the game booths. Carnival in my mind also involves the circus, which is the main subject of my card.
Here's a closer look:
I couldn't wait to ink up a new stamp set, by Taylored Expressions "Life is a Circus". This set is perfect for colouring and I love the happy images and sweet sentiments. All the stamped images were coloured with copic markers and cut out. The train & sentiment were popped up with foam adhesive for added dimension. The darker pink layer was embossed with two doilies dies for subtle interest. To finish off the card, I added some white faux stitch lines. What do you think? It's a really bright card, isn't it?
My card above, was inspired by this card by Nancy. I love how fun her card is, the bright colours and the ticket stamps.
Thank you for visiting today. Do have a great week!
