You're the Main Event! An Animal Circus Act Birthday Card!
Hello everyone! We are clearly in the dog days of summer...already! It's so hot! Our garden is thriving and we are trying to do the outdoor stuff in the early mornings and then come inside where is nice and cool and do some crafting (after indoor chores are done)! Thank you for stopping by, we are so glad you did
This card was inspired by the bright colors in the new Art Nudge challenge for August and September and the Simon Says Stamp Monday Blog Challenge Make your own Background - I used ink and some masking tape to create the multi-colored background! I also wanted to feature some fun circus animals for the Critter Crazy Challenge Blog! Links to all the challenges are near the end of this post! I hope you will check them out and join in the fun!
Here is the card:
