Fashionable Clown

Hello, friends.  Today I made a vintage clown card.  Some people are scared of clowns, but this clown is not scary at all.  In fact, she looks very fashionable!


I started with a cream card base, which I embossed with baby's breath and sponged with black ink.  I printed the vintage clown image on cream cardstock, trimmed, mounted on black cardstock, and affixed to the card.  I circle punched the sentiment, doodled stitching around the circle, and affixed with foam tape.  Lastly I embellished with three black gems.  Here are the supplies used:
  • Digi stampGraphics Fairy (thank you, Karen)
  • Digi sentimentCreate with TLC (thank you, Paulette)
  • Cardstock:  Recollections           Cream Card Base:  Staples
  • Embossing folder:  Cuttlebug Baby's Breath
  • Black marker (for doodled stitching):  Staedtler
  • Circle punch:  Marvy Uchida
  • Gems:  Dollarama

Beautiful clown must say I am not a fan of clowns not scared but just not "happy" with them. But you are right she is a bit fashionable isn't she. Thanks for joining us this week at Patties Creation Challenge Blog
