Le Cirque

This week our design assignment at Paper Vineyard was to create a circus-themed project using Graphic 45 products.

Now, to tell you the truth, I've always been a little creeped out by the circus.  Thank goodness the papers from Graphic 45 are so pretty they helped me overcome my phobia long enough to design this card:


I've really been enjoying tags lately.  They add dimension and provide the opportunity to add another sentiment - or they simply serve as another vehicle for displaying more pretty paper!  Here is a picture of the same card with the tag partially pulled out:


Here is a closeup of my flower.  The metal, paper, and ink work really well together!


Thank you for visiting. :o)  Have a terrific Tuesday!

Ingredients:
Cardstock - Bazzill
Patterned papers - Graphic 45 Le Cirque Collection
