Don't be intimidated by all the layers on this week's sketch - it's not as hard as it looks! Have fun, and I can't wait to se what you make
Here's a closer look at how I made mine:
-Cut card base and panels from card stock
-Stamp Circus Poster image on cork; set aside -Sprinkle Aged Scarlet enamel on panel, heat set from underneath.
-Add ink to edges directly from pad and with a sponge (as desired).
-Stamp Carousel image on small panel, add ink to edges with sponge (accent edges of panel with ink directly from the ink pad).
-Stamp sentiment on small panel, add ink to edges with sponge (accent edges of panel with ink directly from the ink pad).
-Stamp LilÂ’ Joker, fussy cut, add ink with sponge.
-Place gold brads over buttons.
-Adhere all pieces to card base as desired (note: foam tape was used for carousel, sentiment, and LilÂ’ Joker).
-Tie twine through button, adhere above carousel.

Awesome card Taylor! I love the technique you used with the scarlet enamel and your use of the cork...I've never tried either one before and you make them look great.
