I started with party decoration star. (12" x 12") It had a shiny surface which I pulled off to expose the chipboard underneath.  A few coats of acrylic paint and some polka dots and it made the perfect background for my Lil Joker and vintage Circus poster.

I stamped the little clown multiple times on white cardstock and colored with a combination of dye inks and watercolor pencils. I cut him out and added white polka dots.

The poster was stamped on white cardstock and colored with dye ink and watercolor pencils.  The stars are die cut and sponged the stars with dye inks.

I stamped the sentiment and cut it apart to allow the clowns to hold it like placards. 

The new Stampendous stamps include:  Lil Joker, Circus Poster, and Life is a Circus.

Hop along to see all the other great inspiration by my team-mates:

Thanks for stopping by!
