On a Roll

 

I’m on a roll!  I’ve won a couple of challenges recently, and then I won a box of candy at work last week.  My friends tell me now is the time to buy a lottery ticket and maybe they’re right.  Additionally, I won this Under the Big Top set during Flourishes’ January release and decided to make a point of using it within a reasonable length of time before it becomes another one of those “use it or lose it” sets.  It turned out to be quite a lot of fun!

 

 

This card started out as Seize the Sketch #12, but I didn’t get it posted in time.  However, I appreciate the sketch which gave me a jump start:

 

 

The bear wears a sparkly tutu which was made by stamping the bear image a second time in blue and cutting out just the tutu part.

 

 

If you like circus sets this is the one to have, for sure.

 

Perhaps you know that Flourishes is having a Gambler’s Sale.   I believe this week they’re up to 50% off your entire purchase and they still have many of their beautiful stamp sets available.  Flourishes has always meant so much to me, having been a part of their design team family for years.  I do not use the term “family” lightly.  My best wishes go out to Jan Marie and the entire Flourishes family for whatever comes their way in the future.  Love to all.

So, this is such a cute card but that sparkly tutu takes it over the top Leslie. I like how you use so many layers and yet it's not overdone.

I have to agree...this is super cute!!! I did see your win when you won this, how exciting!! I love her tutu and the cute ticket banner!! Flourishes was one of my favorite places ever, I always enjoyed their new releases every month, would grab my coffee and scroll through what the DT had to offer, and it was always beautiful! I think they have been so nice and generous...I will miss them!!

Love that you put it to use right away and in such a fun way. The sparkly tutu on the bear really sets this card off.

Adorable Leslie! Fun all around and the sparkle on the tutu is perfect. You could buy a ticket... but I wouldn't waste the $5. They are expensive these days. hee hee
