lots of possibilities with foil for today's challenge! Welcome back, Julia! I am still playing around with the never-ending card from Monday's Learn a New Technique. So much FUN!
I decided to invoke the feel of a poster ripped from the telephone pole announcing the circus is in town! Artistic Ouptosts vintage circus offered the perfect image for the poster and on the inside are clowns and sentiments to go along with my theme. The double-sided paper is from K&CO daydreams group...I decided to staple the corners rather than use adhesive. The ink was Archival Black and I used colored pencils to add color to the poster. My copper foil is also K&CO urban rhapsody stickers. The KING of beasts had to have a crown, don't you think! And the gorgeous Miss Leitzel needed the copper flourish.
I just love this paper engineering project...there are more views of the insides and thoughts on the circus at one4joydaily
Thanks for having a look and your comments!

Susan, what a great idea to staple the corners. I had one of my cards, the quilt one, where the adhesive just wouldn't stick. The foil crown looks awesome. I know whoever gets this card is going to have a fun time opening it over and over and over and over and over ...again. (212 is another Happy Number )

This is so creative Susan. Leave it to you to think inside the circus box. Love the king of the jungle's crown. Very clever. These stamps are fun. I love AO.
