 Grab your popcorn and your ticket! The show is about to begin!!

And away we go....

I made a small set of cards primarily with the Graphic 45 Le cirque collection. The "5 cent" tickets are from the Graphic 45 Under the Boardwalk collection.

I also have the matching stamps and stamped this "circus spectacular" with my new Judikins Malachite embossing powder.  I stamped that on a Spellbinders label.


I used the same labels for this card and stamped the images with Judikins black detail.  I colored the lion with various pens and markers, added some felt ribbon and some bling.



My final card is colored with Chromatix markers.  I also stamped the elephant with Judikins black detail. I added Queen & Co bling around the Spellbinders Ironworks accent die cut.  Finally some American Craft glitter ribbon in the back.



I hope you enjoyed my cards, I couldn't wait to work with my Graphic 45 papers and matching stamps!

Up next is a great crafter Robin L!


Here is our complete line up in case you get lost along the way:

Thanks so much for joining us for such a fun day!
