TSG Blog Hop Challenge - Life's a Circus

Here we are again, and it's time for this month's There She Goes Blog Hop Challenges to start!! We have four days of awesomeness to share with you, so be prepared for a ton of fun!! Today we are kicking things off with a new set from Torico called Life Is A Circus....so let's get going!

I don’t know about you, but sometimes my life is a circus….which makes this set just that much more FUN!! A ringmaster, stage, and dancing bears…what’s not to love??

Life’s a Circus is a 6x8 set that includes a total of 35 stamps and will sell for $24.00.
 This set will be for sale at 11 PM EST on Saturday, August 31st.



I kept it CAS and just let the image speak for itself.  I stamped the image in Momento tuxedo black ink and colored it with copics.  I fussy cut the bear out and layered him over the curtain.  I popped up the curtain topper with foam dots.  


Here's a slight side view so you can see that I added dimension by popping up his snout. I used a white gel pen to add the polka dots to his the bear's costume.
