Is this cutesy? I don't know, but it's just about as close as I can get! Cutesy is the theme over at Tag Tuesday. I love this challenge, but I don't even think I own ONE stamp that could be called cutesy. Ok, there are a couple House Mouse stamps that I bought my daughter when she used to stamp with me, but c'mon. That is too much to ask, Louise!
I thought this stamp from Artistic Outpost's Send in the Clowns collection was pretty cute! I have been dying to try this color combination since I got the latest Anthropologie catalog - it's a vintage circus theme and the colors are so unusual. I love the faded look. My tent background was created using the Faux Painted Paneling technique from the Oct/Nov '09 issue of the Technique Junkie newsletter. The red cardstock is from Paper Temptress.
Louise, I hope I get points for trying! :-)
Shelly, I think you nailed it. Wouldn't know what other category to put it under if not cutsie.
ReplyDeleteI give you extra credit for actually owning a clown stamp!
Love your circus tent design and color scheme.
Love this cute clown, and the way you did the tent! This color combo is awesome, too!

ReplyDeleteHere's what you did...you took something cute, and made it uniquely vintage with the colors and the layout and the crepe paper. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis card has gotta be oober-cute because I think TAMN did one just like it (but cuter).
