Hello Everyone!

I am here with another project for Scrapping for Less! Today I am featuring Sugar Pea Designs – Story Book Circus! Life is a Circus and what fun it is! We have a Lion, Bear and an elephant to bring to life any celebration!

I started my project by creating my background using my Distress Oxides in Peacock Feathers and Broken China. I used my finger sponge daubers to lay down my color then sprayed my panel with water to get those colors moving. I found some wood grain paper in my stash and cut 1/2 inch strips and layered them at the bottom to create a wood floor.

I stamped my images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored each image using my Prismacolor Pencils!! They are my favorite medium… Once they were done I fussy cut them out and got them ready to be the center stage on my background!

The sentiment I chose was “Life is a Circus” and used a banner die from my stash.

Set my panel on a standard A2 size side folding card base! We are now ready for the celebration!

ENJOY!

I'd Jump Through Hoops for the Story Book Stamp Set by Sugar Pea Designs

Happy Wednesday To You! Tina here from Cards and Coffee Time, Today for my Design Team Project I created an adorable card using Sugar Pea Designs Story Book Circus Stamp set. You can find this stamp set at the Scrapping for Less Shop.

My husband and I took our 2 girls to the circus when they were 6 and 8 years old. Popcorn, black top hats, swirly lights, silly clowns, juggling, lions, tigers and no bears:) Allie our youngest jumped at the chance to ride the elephant, she grabbed her dads hand and went to wait in line. He was gianormous!! (my word:)) I told my Emily lets go… The look she gave me I will never forget, she was terrified. We sat in the stands watching Dad and Allie climb the steps to ride the elephant. When it started to walk around the arena with those two on it, Emily started crying crocodile tears and didn’t stop until they were off the elephant. I thought she was upset because they went without her. Later, I asked her why was she so upset…she said because Daddy and Allie are hurting the elephant and that they should have rode the one wheel bikes:) She has such a huge heart:) When I first saw this stamp set it took me back to that wonderful day we spent at the circus:)

I love the sentiments in this set because they are so versatile. Just for fun, Birthday, Congrats, Happy day and Just Because. I started this card off by stamping and coloring 3 of the lion images with my alcohol markers then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. For my card base I used distress inks to color the background. For added interest I created a striped circus tent kind of element with red card stock. I also added red glitter glue to the hoops to set them on fire. This is such “Spectacular” stamp set, I had so much fun making this card:) You can watch how I created this card on my YouTube Channel.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Don’t forget you can purchase this stamp set at a super great price! Grab your coffee friends and lets make a card today! Hugs, Tina
