So let’s get on with the card!

CircusIcons_Elephants_teriI made this card entirely with the new Enjoy the Show set! I “might” have used the coordinating die set, too, to cut the elephants’ bodies. Emphasis on that “might’ word.

When I think circus-theme, I tend to think primary colors. But I decided to live on the edge here and go with a softer scheme this time.

The elephants are actually the same one. I just tried to make them look different by using different paper combinations and added a bow to one.

Well, that’s all I have. Thanks for stopping by today… and for your kind words. I always enjoy… and appreciate… them.
