A card using the gorgeous new High Hopes Circus stamps and all the characters are stamped in versafine, water coloured with distress inks and cut out. They're all mounted on 1mm dimension tape.
I cut the card base to give the shape of a circus tent, covered with Doodlebug striped paper and black card for the inside. Cut flags and stars from some sparkly blue card and used these to make a rope of flags along the canopy and on the tent poles, the stars are placed for the circus ring which is drawn with a white gel pen. I added loads and loads of stickles which I wish would show up more in photographs but it's very sparkly. Made a banner for the top with the sentiment and sponged around this and all the edges of the tent with distress ink. TFL.

Oh my goodness, Chris, I cant imagine how long this must have taken you to create. It's fabulously colored and perfectly staged. Oh, to be you! This is such a magnificent card! Fabulously executed and presented.

WOW!! I am tired just enjoying it. This would take me a year to complete and it would not even come close to the greatness of this card. Love the colors and, of course, your coloring is perfection. A work of art. Thank you for sharing this my friend.
