My card for this challenge uses the image, Casey The Clown, by Lizzy Love Oddball Art, colored with Copics. My card layout uses the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. All papers are from my stash. I love the mix of patterns - Chevrons and Polka Dots! I heart shaped die cuts, matted with black, to embellish.  I then attached the hearts with foam tape, for dimension, and added black and white bakers twine, to make them into heart shaped balloons.

Clownin' Around With Colors

Welcome to another Saturday challenge at Catch The Bug! This week, we have a Color Challenge for you?! Think you can handle that?! If so, then come on over to Catch The Bug to check out the color theme photo so you can create a project and play along with us. We have lots of prizes up for grabs, so come play along for your chance to win!

My card uses the image Lil Clown 4, from Bugaboo Stamps, colored with Promarkers. Of course, I followed the color scheme in this week's color challenge. This card is perfect for a little boy's birthday. I used all scraps to create this card and think I did a pretty darn good job if I do say so, myself! LOL! The centers of the small squares are punches with the postage stamp punch from EK Success. I used some blue buttons, recycled from an old shirt that had been thrown away, and placed those in the center of the small squares. I used googly eyes on the clown. Isn't he cute?!

The inside of the card Says "Clown Around On Your Birthday"
