Sharon's Vintage Circus with Pam

Well this really tested me and I had a lot of help from my friends, thank you Janie, thank you Colleen.  I find it very difficult to work with ready made ephemera and so the thinking cap had to come on, due to my very limited drawing skills.

So to begin I slapped down some bright clolours and this reminded  me of clowns.  Happy clowns, not scary ones.

Referring to my private tutor aka Wiki-how I drew myself a clown.  My thoughts were to print a couple and use one as a template to cut out his clothes and then collage them on.

I coloured the parts with neocolor 11 water soluble crayons and then went ahead and added the collaged pieces.

 He he is all dressed up and ready to go.  He also got his tinsel on, what's a clown without a bit of glitter?

And then he was stuck down on the original background.  Banner at top was stamped and heat embossed.

Other side, same bright colours and I envisioned the scene as we arrive at the circus with all the colour, move,ent and excitement of a big day out.

 

Sharon's journal is a very interesting design, and very easy to work in, but sadly I did my second page UPSIDE DOWN!!!  Sorry. And I didn't take step by step pictures.  Hope you like it Sharon.
