Here in sunny, Southwest Florida, the Circus is in town, that means that Spring is here for all of us. It was something to really look forward to when I was a kid. I think I sat for hours, my head turning here and there, my jaw hanging open....not wanting to miss a thing that was going on. The clowns, the Ringmaster, the trapeze artists, the wild animals...especially the elephants. It was really spectacular! And oh yes, the peanuts......hadda' have the peanuts. lol
This month, the Artistic Outpost Design Team Blog Hop is featuring stamps from the "This and That" collection. I have chosen to use 2 coordinating sets, Send in the Clowns and Vintage Circus. I had so much fun and fond memories while putting together this colorful collage....I hope you enjoy it.
This piece measures approx 9x7 and was done on glossy card stock using alcohol inks. The images were cut and popped up to create the collage. Various markers were used to help color some of the images.
