When I saw the theme this week I immediately thought of the circus and clowns. These fun papers are from Basic Grey (June Bug) and Sassafraslas. Images by Digital Collage Sheets. This is a 4.25" x 5.5" card.
The inspiration piece... ...and my take on the challenge. I'm just getting in under the wire for this challenge as it was for last Monday. Please visit: http://collageobsessionchallenge.blogspot.com/ to see all the great submissions.
This is one of my ATCs that I created for a private swap on Yahoo. I love this gorgeous collection of papers and embellishments By Tim Coffey for K & Company, Blossomwood.
I am so please to be the guest host this week at: http://gothicarches.blogspot.com/ Mardi Gras is Tuesday, February 16th. To celebrate, I've picked the theme Mardi Gras/Carnivale/Masquerade. I hope you will join the challenge!
The base is all crackle but I did a good job of covering it up, lol. To see all the beautiful creations this week please visit: http://gothicarches.blogspot.com/
Gina and I just completed a 1 to 1 ATC swap and these are the adorable ATCs I rec'd. I love Gina's whimsical style and way with colors. You can see more of Gina's wonderful art at: http://juliasinspirations.blogspot.com/
