Hi everybody! It truly has been a circus around here the past couple of weeks, so today's card is perfect! It's my day to post for Taylored Expressions! I'm using the super cute stamp set called Life is a Circus. Did you have a great weekend? Mine was busy busy busy and now it's off to work again on Monday. The Rubber Stamp Convention was Saturday all day and I love working the show. For the past few years I have been at the front table doing admissions and it's the perfect way to see EVERYONE and say hi! There were over 700 people there on Saturday! It was so great to see so many of you. The mood was happy and it was a beautiful day outside too. It's also time for me to visit with my friends from A Stamp in the Hand - they put on the RSC... LOVE those gals!!! XOXO.
My card for today also uses TESC #156. There's still lots of time to join in on the fun. CLICK HERE for deets. I combined the stamp set with some of my favorite border dies. Hope you like it.
Here's this week's sketch:
I adore this Reach for the Stars Border Die and combined it with the Medium Scallop Die... And, then I had to add some bling! This paper collection is from My Mind's Eye Lime Twist Collection.
Here are my supplies...
And my Copic color palette...
I cut the circus tent and the seal out separately to add dimension to my project. I thought about paper piecing the tent, but decided to color it instead. It looks great either way! Please CLICK HERE to go to the TE Gallery for this stamp set!
Hope you've enjoyed this crazy little project! Best wishes for a great week ahead. Thank you for coming by to say hello!
WOW, love this. I think you have caused a shopping trip. That Lfe is a Circus set s adorable.

Adorable, colorful and fun for sure! Awesome that the stamp convention was so much fun! Wish you were close enough to give me Copic lessons! I wish I were better at it. Perhaps if I would just practice more!
