The Greatest Show on Earth!!

Hi Everyone,

I hope that you are all enjoying this weekends sunshine, for those of us in the UK it's been a long time coming, and like me I hope you are all making the most of it.

Today we see the start of another new fortnightly challenge at

Fashionable Stamping Challenges 

and our theme is

Make something 3D,
Our challenge this fortnight has been chosen by our special guest designer Alison Bomber AKA Butterfly. I have been an avid follower of Alisons for a long while now as her work is stunning.If you want to visit her blog and see what I mean you can find her HERE.  

 

We are a stamping challenge blog so some ruber stamping should be the most prominant feature of your project.

 

So for my DT piece for this fabulous challenge I have eventually got around to using the wonderful Blocks/Cubes die from Sizzix and created this Circus themed Stack.

 

Cut from mountboard and then painted with mustard seed distress paint, here you can see the first 2 sides

 

and here the second 2 sides.

 

Loads of stamping, infact there is some stamping on everyside I have only used black and vermillion archival ink, (even on the tops which I have forgotten to photgrah) some I have stamped onto white paper and cut out to give some contrast.

I used the following stamp sets:-

Circus - Andy Skinner

Graphic 45 - Le Cirque set 1 & 3

Tim Holtz - The Big Top

Tim Holtz - Bitty Grunge

Tim Holtz - Stuff to say

I have aged everything using Vintage Photo and gathered twig distress inks and a Vintage Photo distress marker.

Other bits to finish off are some Tim Holtz chit chat stickers and Tim Holtz seasonal washi tape.

I'd love you to join in with this fortnights challenge there is some fabulous inspiration from the rest of the DT which you can find HERE.

Our sponsor for FSC is a fabulous company called Flonzcraft and

the winner of each challenge will receive a very generous voucher for Leo’s Store of $20.

thanks for stopping by and see you soon

Love
