Send in the Clowns

Hello friends! I’m back with another card that I made using the new Halloween stamps from Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous.

The card was inspired by the new shifters ray stencil. It just whispered circus to me. The skull from the life of the party stamp set (CMS380) matched perfectly with the distinguished (CMS371) stamp set.

I love this sentiment, also from the life of the party stamp set (CMS380). I used the label stamp from another set but I’m not sure which, it’s one I have kicking around my desk all the time.

The nose I made fussy cutting a circle from the dots and circles stamp set (CMS382) stamped in distress archival ink. I am seriously in love with the bow tie stamps from the life of the party (CMS380) stamp set. Little bit of colouring heaven for me.

The frame is die cut from the stitched rectangle thinlits die set, covered in texture opaque crackle paste and covered in vintage collage medium and once dry, distress crayon. It looks really complicated but the paste and crayons do all the work for you. Rub the distress crayon onto your finger and rub it onto the frame for the best results.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great Sunday.

    Zoe, just loved this on the FB live, in fact, loved all of the cards with the sappy play on words with that sentiment. And your creepy clown was the most clever rendition! I love your attention to detail and the gorgeous background and framing. Thanks so much for the tips to achieve “the look” on the frame. Happy crafting!
