Life is a Circus Blog Hop Challenge

*warning* this post contains excessive excitement and exclamation marks.

Seriously, it's time to get excited, because There She Goes sneak peeks start NOW! My jaw dropped when I saw the outrageously awesome stamps releasing this month, you are going to have a serious case of the wants!

Today we are kicking things off with a new set from Torico called Life Is A Circus....so let's get going!

Life’s a Circus is a 6x8 set that includes a total of 35 stamps and will sell for $24.00. This set will be for sale at 11pmEST on Saturday, August 31st.

I LOVE this set. I'm going to say that for every day of peeks, but really. Love. Torico has given us some adorable images, not least of which this bear! I have him balancing on a ball. I went for a bright/vintage take on this card - I've paper pieced the bears little costume, cutting out his head and ruffle a second time to layer on top so everything is just so.

See that polka dot banner, nope, not patterned paper, it's a stamp and outline! Woohoo - I just love it!

This was never going to be a mail-able card, so I went nuts with some feathers and sequins and lots of dimension. You just have to get crazy sometimes!

I had to shadow stamp another bear on the inside of my card, and added more sequins to those fun burst images.
